A Sanrio Hello Kitty Town—the first out of Japan—is now at Puteri Harbour in Nusajaya, a regional city in the Malaysian state of Johor, just 20 minutes’ drive away from the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link.
Another new theme park known as The Little Big Club has five popular children’s characters including Barney and Bob the Builder.
Both parks are indoors and each occupies a floor of a four-storey building next to a hotel under construction.
The joint admission fee is RM110 ($44) per person or RM65 for entry to one park.
This is the third theme park in Johor after the recently opened Legoland.
