Hello Kitty Town In Malaysia ?

Located in Puteri Harbour Indoor Family Theme Park at Nusajaya Johor, not too far away from LEGOLAND Malaysia, the Hello Kitty Town in a 4-storey theme park will feature walk-through attractions, play structures, interactive activities, and of course, Hello Kitty-themed rides. If you’re looking to meet the world’s most popular “kitty cat”, this is the place to be.

The entertainment centre will also feture an iconic “Hello Kitty house” complete with a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. And if that’s not enough, Hello Kitty’s Sanrio friends (e.g. My Melody and Little Twin Stars) will also make special appearance at the “Purrfect stage”, where they will perform together. If that is not enough to make your lifelong dreams come true, we hear that visitors will also get the opportunity to take pictures with Hello Kitty and her Sanrio buddies.

After that, head right over to the “Wishful Studio” to pick up jewelry making, participate in cute costume parties, nail painting, or cookie baking. Oh, and if you’re as shameless as we are, you can even opt to organize a birthday celebration with Hello Kitty at the Apple and Strawberry party rooms.
