Dubai Parks and Resorts begins its historic opening
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 02 - 11 - 2016

Dubai Parks and Resorts changes the landscape of leisure and entertainment in the region last Oct. 31 as the destination officially opens to the public.
The opening commences with the region's first LEGOLAND Dubai theme park and Riverland Dubai, the multi-themed dining and retail destination located at the heart of Dubai Parks and Resorts.
Raed Kajoor Al Nuaimi, CEO of DXB Entertainments PJSC, the owner of Dubai Parks and Resorts, said: "I'm immensely proud that today we start to welcome guests to Experience Amazing at this incredible new destination. Riverland Dubai and LEGOLAND Dubai will be unveiled for the very first time and offer unique experiences and entertainments that I genuinely believe will set the bar in this region. Nothing of this magnitude has ever been done before and after three years of hard work it is a great honor to start to show our guests what we have achieved. As the largest entertainment destination in the region, Dubai Parks and Resorts will support the UAE's tourism vision and grow the family leisure industry in the region."
LEGOLAND Dubai is the ultimate world of year-round LEGO-themed adventures for families with children aged 2-12. LEGOLAND Dubai features over 40 interactive rides, shows, attractions, building experiences and 15,000 LEGO model structures made from over 60 million LEGO bricks. It is designed to provide a full day's interactive, theme park experience.
LEGOLAND features six themed lands, each unique in their experience, entertainment and educational offering, including:
LEGO CITY, where children can indulge in a range of playful learning opportunities including flying a plane at the LEGO City airport, steering a boat at the boating school, or earning a LEGOLAND driving license at the driving school.
KINGDOMS, where knights and princesses can explore a medieval land and conquer the exhilarating Dragon Coaster, which takes you on a journey through the King's castle full of vibrant LEGO models depicting the era.
IMAGINATION, the perfect area for every LEGO fan to enjoy, spending hours playing, racing LEGO cars or taking advantage of the Master Builder Academy. Toddlers and small children will enjoy DUPLO® Valley while all will enjoy the Kid Power Towers to get a great view of the entire park before a gentle "free-fall" ride to the bottom.
ADVENTURE, for young explorers seeking thrilling antics while enjoying a captivating Submarine Adventure, Wave Racers that power through waves and dodge water blasts as well as an exciting escapade through ancient temple ruins to recover a pharaoh's stolen treasure.
MINILAND, the heart of all LEGOLAND Parks, is made up of over 20 million LEGO bricks featuring Dubai's iconic skyline and key landmarks from around the Middle East and international destinations. The MINILAND at LEGOLAND Dubai will be the first ever indoor air-conditioned MINILAND at a LEGOLAND park and will also include Build a City where guests can find a 10 meter play table with white LEGO bricks enabling them to create an ever changing city skyline.
"We're pleased to be able to bring the much-loved LEGOLAND brand to Dubai, the first in the region, following the success of LEGOLAND Parks in Europe, the US and Asia. Dubai is a key holiday market, and we expect this new park to appeal to both domestic and international visitors," said John Jakobsen, Chief New Openings Officer, Merlin Entertainments.
LEGOLAND Dubai opens daily from 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. — SG
