Many have owned Hello Kitty bags, pencil cases, stationery items and even clothes as children. A frenzy of being identified with this brand is shared by kids and even teenagers due to its simple but colourful appeal. When theme parks started operating under the Hello Kitty theme it was not only the kids and teenagers that were keen to visit; instead, the theme park saw one time fans of Hello Kitty reignite their enthusiasm as they booked into a Nusajaya service apartment to discover the world of their favourite kitten in Malaysia. The Sanrio Hello Kitty Town has fabulous neighbours such as the Puteri Harbour International Ferry Terminal and the Somerset Puteri Harbour Nusajaya which are within walking distance.
First timers should have an understanding of the layout at the Puteri Harbour Theme Park which constitutes not only the Sanrio Hello Kitty Town but also the Little Big Club and Lat’s Place. If you bump into Bob the Builder in his yellow tin hat and blue dungarees or Pingu who makes indistinguishable noises you have made a turn into the Little Big Club, but you are not far from Hello Kitty Town. The park is open daily from 10 am and closes at sunset. There are many Hello Kitties to be found within the premises all of whom are tall and bigger than you would expect but still very friendly and huggable.
The interior is pink, white and sugary there is heart shaped designs, bows and flowers. The Purrfect Stage is where you can catch a glimpse of a short skit where Hello Kitty features as the main performer while tea cup ride and dream photo garden are meant for everyone in the family to join in the fun. The girls will love the doll factory, jewellery making and the nail salon which have a distinct vibe of Hello Kitty and the entourage.
