Dubai Parks and Resorts

Why settle for one theme park when you can have four? Theme park goers are treated to different interconnecting parks with their own charm. Your itinerary consists of Legoland Dubai and it’s own water park, Bollywood Parks and Motiongate.

Legoland Dubai and Legoland Water Park is probably the most famous out of the four and it’s easy to see why. It’s every child’s dream to be surrounded by 60 million Lego bricks while splashing around under the sun. These parks combined have 40 rides and so much other attractions. Children (and children at heart) can marvel at the world’s tallest Lego model of the Burj Khalifa

Get your groove on in Bollywood Parks Dubai. Feel like you walked straight in to the vibrant set of India’s Bollywood cinema. Up for a game of cricket? Try it out on a realistic simulator ride. Immerse yourself the best way and try out the authentic Indian cuisine with a classic curry.

Planning your visit is a must. The vibrant themes don’t just stop in the parks but extend to the boardwalks and restaurants scattered around. Riverland is the place to be after a crazy day of thrill seeking.
