LEGOLAND Dubai is a theme park at Dubai Parks and Resorts. It opened at the end of 2016.
The park is divided into 6 areas; Adventure, Factory, Imagination, Kingdoms, LEGO City, and MINILAND. Each has themed rides, attractions, stores, and places to eat and drink.
Rides and attractions are aimed at children aged 2 to 12. Adults and older children seeking thrill rides would find Motiongate more suitable.
MINILAND is one of the highlights of the park, appealing to both adults and children. It’s situated within 25 metre high air-conditioned dome. It features a huge collection of Dubai’s iconic buildings and attractions, all faithfully reproduced using LEGO bricks.
LEGO models at MINILAND include the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain, Burj Al Arab, Jumeriah Beach Hotel, Dubai International Airport, Mall of the Emirates and Ski Dubai, Deira and the Dubai Creek, the Gold Souk, the Dubai Metro, and Sheikh Zayed Road. There are also models from elsewhere in the region (Taj Mahal, Petra, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and the Pyramids).
