Last stop is at the newest and first Nickelodeon-themed destination in Asia. Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon will enthrall the family with a lost civilization surrounded by lush, natural rainforest. It has 12 rides and attractions of different shapes and sizes.

Awesome awaits at LEGOLAND

It has seven parks for all ages, namely The Beginning, LEGO Technic, LEGO Kingdoms, Imagination, Land of Adventure, LEGO City and Miniland. There’s also the stand-alone LEGOLAND Waterpark.
