LEGOLAND Dubai 2025: Our Epic Family-Friendly Educational Trip

30/09/2025


What do you get when you mix childhood nostalgia, family bonding, and over 60 million LEGO bricks? One unforgettable day at LEGOLAND Dubai! In May 2025, members of our Hays Travel team traded keyboards for rollercoasters and headed to LEGOLAND Dubai for the perfect combo of fun, laughter, and pure kidult joy...yes, that’s a thing! Curious about what this iconic theme park offers? Here's our inside scoop.

Meet Ellie!

Ellie, a Campaign Marketing Specialist from our Marketing Operations team, was one of the lucky colleagues selected to travel to Dubai to experience everything the Emirate has to offer - including LEGOLAND Dubai! 

“From the moment you step into LEGOLAND Hotel Dubai, you can tell this place is built entirely around kids. Giant LEGO models greet you in the lobby, there are play zones everywhere, and even the elevators turn into mini discos. It’s less like checking into a hotel and more like walking straight into a LEGO adventure.”

First Things First: What is LEGOLAND Dubai?

LEGOLAND Dubai is part of Dubai Parks and Resorts, located just off Sheikh Zayed Road between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It’s a LEGO-themed amusement park designed for families with kids aged 2–12. But don’t let that age range fool you. We’re a team of grown adults, and we had an absolute blast! The park is split into six themed lands. 

✨ LEGO City, Adventure, Kingdoms, Imagination, Miniland & Factory✨

Each zone offers its own unique rides, attractions, and building experiences. Plus plenty of spots to eat, relax, and, of course, shop.

Our Highlights from the Day

You may be thinking, how much can you squeeze into one day at LEGOLAND Dubai. And the answer is loads! Here are just a few of my favourite parts of the park. 

Unleashing our inner builders!

There’s something satisfying about sitting, surrounded by thousands of LEGO pieces, channelling your inner child. Yes, we rolled up our sleeves. Yes, we got way too competitive. And yes, it was an absolute blast. We spent ages in the Build & Test area. 

The Dragon Roller Coaster (Kingdoms)

Mild enough for nervous first-timers but fast enough to spark a scream, it was one of those rollercoasters we could have ridden again and again! Plus, trying to spot the 100's of LEGO® models hidden in the enchanted King’s castle was great!

Miniland

This one blew our minds. Over 20 million LEGO bricks were used to recreate Dubai’s skyline, the pyramids of Egypt, and the Taj Mahal. It’s all indoors (hello, air conditioning), and a great photo spot for your Instagram grid.

Sleeping in a LEGO World

The magic doesn’t end when the park closes. It follows you all the way back to your room. We stayed at the LEGOLAND Hotel Dubai, and honestly, it was like stepping into a life-sized LEGO set. Every room is themed, and you get to choose your adventure: will you be Pirates setting sail, Kingdom knights on a quest, Ninjago heroes in training, or Friends enjoying a colourful escape?

What really made the experience stand out was how thoughtful the design was for families. The rooms gave the kids their own space to play and unwind, which, let's be honest, gives parents a moment to breathe. Every detail, from the LEGO models on the walls to the treasure chest filled with a surprise, was created to delight children, but still felt comfortable and relaxing for adults. It was the kind of room where your kids gasp when they walk in, and that alone is worth it.

Staff Who Make the Magic Real

What really makes the stay unforgettable, though, is the staff. They don’t just look after the children; they go above and beyond to make them feel like VIPs. From the moment we checked in, the staff were in full play mode, high-fiving kids, making mealtimes, and handing out treasure hunt clues like it was the most important mission in the world. It’s clear they love creating moments that kids will remember long after the holiday ends.

And here’s the real game-changer for families: if you stay at the hotel, you get unlimited free access to both the LEGOLAND Theme Park and the Water Park. No extra tickets, no extra planning. You literally walk out of the lobby, and you’re steps away from the rides. It means you can easily head out early for a few rides, come back to cool off at the pool and return in the afternoon without any stress when the kids are ready for more.

1. Is LEGOLAND Dubai only for kids?

Nope! While it’s tailored for kids aged 2–12, adults can totally enjoy it—especially if you’re a LEGO fan. We had team members in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, and everyone found something they loved.

2. What’s the best time to visit LEGOLAND Dubai?

We went in May, and while it was starting to hit peak heat in Dubai, most of the park is shaded, and there’s a large indoor area. That said, November to March is ideal for cooler weather and shorter queues.

 

Pro Tip: Arrive when the park opens (usually 10 AM). You’ll beat the crowds and have first dibs on popular rides.

3. How much time do you need at LEGOLAND Dubai?

We spent a full day and covered a lot of the theme park. But we didn’t get a chance to explore the waterpark on-site! Families with younger kids may want to move more slowly, so a few days is perfect. 

4. Is there food inside the park?

Yes! There are cafes, restaurants, and snack stalls throughout. We recommend The Café near the entrance for coffee and pastries and Knight’s Table in Kingdoms for a hearty lunch.

 

Top Tip: Bring a reusable water bottle—you can refill it at stations around the park.

5. What should you wear?

Think comfy, breathable clothes, and good walking shoes. And don’t forget sunscreen! Even if much of the park is shaded, you’ll still get plenty of sun exposure.

6. Where is LEGOLAND Dubai?

LEGOLAND Dubai is located at Dubai Parks and Resorts, off Sheikh Zayed Road.

7. What are LEGOLAND Dubai's opening hours?

Usually, 10 AM to 6 PM. But double-check the official website for seasonal hours.

8. Are there hotels near LEGOLAND Dubai?

Yes! You can stay at the LEGOLAND Hotel right next door for the full LEGO experience. Or chat to one of our expert travel agents for alternative hotels near LEOLAND Dubai!
