If you’re considering a visit to LEGOLAND® Dubai, this review aims to give you an honest, detailed look at what the experience involves. From dozens of LEGO-themed rides to interactive shows and impressive models, it promises a full day of entertainment for families with children aged 2-12. But how does it really hold up?
What we love most about this park is the diverse mix of indoor and outdoor attractions, which means weather won’t spoil your fun. The impressive LEGO models — built from over 60 million bricks — really bring the creative world of LEGO® to life. The seamless ticketing experience and friendly staff receive warm praise, making the entry process smooth. And, of course, the opportunity to see how LEGO bricks are made and get a souvenir adds a nice touch.
The main consideration? Some rides have height restrictions, which might disappoint younger or smaller kids. Also, food and drinks aren’t included in the ticket price, so budgeting for meals is necessary. This experience suits families seeking a playful, engaging day with plenty of photo opportunities and creative play.
Whether you’re visiting Dubai with young children or looking for a playful break from the city’s bustling sights, LEGOLAND Dubai offers value for money and memorable moments.

What Makes LEGOLAND Dubai Special?
LEGOLAND Dubai delivers a colorful, lively environment that sparks young imaginations. The park’s layout splits into six themed lands, each offering different attractions and experiences, making it easy to navigate and plan your day. From the moment you step into the LEGO® Factory where bricks are made, you’re greeted with a blend of education and entertainment. Receiving a bonus LEGO® brick as a souvenir makes the visit memorable even after you leave.
The park’s 15,000 LEGO models are meticulously crafted from over 60 million LEGO bricks.

As one reviewer noted, “everything was perfect, staff helpful, great interaction with kids,” which highlights the welcoming atmosphere.

Rides and Attractions: The Core of Your Day
With over 40 rides, shows, and building experiences, there’s plenty to keep all members of the family busy. Some of the highlights include the Driving School, where kids can earn an official LEGO® Driving License, and Sea Port, a themed area where they can test their skills or engage in pretend play.
While many attractions cater to younger children, some reviews mention height restrictions that can limit access. For example, a visitor noted her 100 cm tall daughter couldn’t go on certain rides that required a 105 cm minimum height. This can be a bummer if your little one is close to the limit but still too small for some rides.
One reviewer summarized their experience: “Rides are numerous and waiting times are acceptable,” indicating that the park manages crowds well, especially during less busy times. Visiting early or during off-peak hours (like Ramadan, when some visitors noted it was less crowded) could give you shorter queues and a more relaxed experience.
Indoor and Outdoor Experience: Weather-Proof Fun
Dubai can get intensely hot or humid, especially in summer. Fortunately, LEGOLAND balances outdoor rides with indoor attractions, which means you can enjoy the park in comfort. The indoor zones are well-designed, offering shade and air-conditioned spaces perfect for escaping the sun.
This versatility was praised by visitors who said, “It’s quite empty during Ramadan, and we enjoyed the rides without waiting in queues.” If you’re visiting in cooler months or during Ramadan, plan your outdoor activities accordingly.
Food and Beverage Options
A notable point from reviews is that food and drinks are not included in the ticket price. While some guests enjoyed the variety of food options available within the park—such as quick bites and themed eateries—others found that bringing snacks or planning meals outside the park could save money and time. Be prepared for additional expenses if you want to dine comfortably on-site.

The ticketing process has garnered praise for being seamless and straightforward. One review mentioned that the process was “seamless,” with friendly staff helping visitors through entry. However, a few pointed out that redeeming tickets might involve some confusion, especially if you purchase online and need to present identification. It’s worth confirming your entry method beforehand to avoid delays.
The price of around $80 per person is reasonable considering the variety of attractions and the size of the park. For families, especially those with kids who love LEGO®, this ticket offers good value compared to separate costs for rides, shows, and souvenirs.
Practical Tips for Visiting LEGOLAND Dubai

- Check height restrictions for rides beforehand, so kids don’t get disappointed.

- Pack a water bottle and snacks to stay hydrated and curb extra spending.
- Consider visiting during Ramadan or weekdays for fewer queues.
- Use the online booking option to secure your ticket and avoid long lines at the gate.
