Legoland Malaysia celebrates SG60
Legoland Malaysia has unveiled a refreshed Miniland Singapore in celebration of Singapore's 60th anniversary.
This updated attraction, crafted entirely from Lego bricks, showcases iconic landmarks such as a 4m-tall Marina Bay Sands (MBS), complete with its famous rooftop infinity pool.
Other new additions include a fully rotating Singapore Flyer, the Helix Bridge, ArtScience Museum and Gardens by the Bay.
The revamped Miniland Singapore features 16 large models, 10 boats, 80 vehicles and more than 1,600 figurines. Its construction reportedly took over 16,000 hours and used more than 1.5 million Lego bricks.

The Singapore Flyer has also launched Whimsical Reality, a permanent art gallery showcasing 28 pieces by renowned local artist Lee Kow Fong, better known as Ah Guo. Five of these works feature the observation wheel.
A highlight is A Little Whimsical Salute, a commemorative triptych marking Singapore's Diamond Jubilee. Rendered in Ah Guo's signature watercolor style, these three interconnected works illustrate Singapore's transformation across three distinct periods: the 1960s to 1970s, 1980s to1990s, and 2000s and beyond.
Admission to the gallery is free.
