One price covers adults and children aged 3 and over: AED 295 if you book online at least one day ahead, AED 330 if you buy on the day, online or at the gate. Under-3s are free with proof of age. A one-day combo with Legoland Water Park is AED 355 booked ahead and AED 395 on the day.
Annual passes start from age 3: AED 395 for the theme park only, AED 495 for both parks. If you are staying a while and expect to come twice, the pass pays for itself on the second visit.
Paying is easy for foreign visitors: buy tickets online with a bank card, and cards are widely taken across Dubai, taxis included. The exception is public transport — the metro and buses take only a Nol card, which you buy and top up with cash or card at station ticket offices and machines.
Legoland Dubai opening hours
The park opens daily at 11:00 and closes at 19:00 on weekdays and 20:00 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, according to its calendar for November and December 2026. Over the UAE National Day break and from mid-December, it stays open until 20:00 every day.
Legoland Water Park keeps different hours — 10:00 to 17:30 — and is closed on Wednesdays until 25 November 2026. Hours change with the season, so check the official calendar before a summer trip.

Where are you starting from?
We’ll draw it on the map on foot and by taxi; metro and buses open in your maps app. Your location isn’t stored.
On foot
- Motiongate Dubai is about 14 min away on foot.
More tips
- From Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station, ride the Red Line towards Life Pharmacy to Ibn Battuta. Trains for Expo 2020 split off after Jabal Ali, so check the destination screen.
- Metro and buses take a Nol card; buy one at any station ticket office or machine.
- Ibn Battuta station has a bus station next door. Take bus DPR1 to Dubai Parks and Resorts — the park lists 26 daily trips between 7:00 and 23:15. Gaps are long, so check the RTA timetable first.
- The bus drops you at the Bus and Taxi Center by Riverland; follow the LEGOLAND signs through Riverland to the gate.
- Quicker: a taxi, Careem or Uber from Downtown takes about 35 minutes without traffic, about 20 from Dubai Marina and about 45 from DXB airport.
Is Legoland Dubai worth it?
Yes, if your kids are roughly 3 to 10 and love Lego. It fills a whole day, and most rides are built for children and parents to ride together. For teenagers or adults without kids the rides are tame — neighbouring Motiongate or the indoor IMG Worlds of Adventure will suit them better.
Height decides a lot: Wave Racers, Merlin’s Challenge and LEGO Technic Twister need 105 cm, City Airport, Rescue Academy and Kid Power Towers 95 cm, Lost Kingdom Adventure 90 cm, DUPLO Express and Submarine Adventure 80 cm. Factory Tour and Miniland have no limits. Children are measured with shoes on in the theme park and barefoot in the water park.
What to see: the six lands
- Factory — the entrance land. A Factory Tour shows how bricks are made and ends with a free brick fresh off the line; The BIG Shop is the largest Lego store in the Middle East.
- Miniland — an indoor, air-conditioned hall with Dubai and Middle East landmarks in 20 million bricks, including a 17 m Burj Khalifa, plus Build A City, a 10 m table of white bricks.
- LEGO City — Driving School, where kids drive and earn a Legoland licence, Boating School, City Airport and Rescue Academy, a family race to put out a “burning building”.
- Kingdoms — the castle and the park’s headline coaster, The Dragon, plus Dragon’s Apprentice, a first coaster for little ones.
- Imagination — build-and-race cars, LEGO MINDSTORMS robots, the LEGO Technic Twister, the 4D cinema and shaded DUPLO Valley for toddlers.
- Adventure — Wave Racers, dodging water blasts, Lost Kingdom Adventure through ancient temple ruins, the underwater mission of Submarine Adventure and the Discovery Centre Aquarium.
How long do you need at Legoland Dubai?
Plan 4–6 hours for the theme park alone. With the water park, make it a full day: arrive for the 10:00 water-park opening, cross to Legoland after lunch and stay until close. On very hot days, flip it — Legoland in the morning, water in the afternoon.
Outside food isn’t allowed except baby food and medically needed meals; bags are checked at the gate. There are 9 restaurants and kiosks, lockers in Factory, stroller hire, baby-care rooms and prayer rooms.
Legoland Water Park and Legoland Hotel
Legoland Water Park is next door and aimed at the same 2–12 age group: more than 20 slides and pools, a wave pool, a lazy river where you build your own brick raft, and DUPLO Splash Safari for toddlers. A water-park-only ticket is AED 295 booked ahead or AED 330 on the day.
Legoland Hotel, part of Legoland Dubai Resort, has Lego-themed rooms and a pool. It makes sense for two or more park days; for beaches, malls and the Dubai Mall, stay in the Marina or Downtown and do Legoland as a day trip.

All three share one car park, but each needs its own ticket. Under-10s: Legoland. A hot day: add the water park with the combo.

- Ride The Dragon first, before the queue builds.
- Hide from the heat in indoor Miniland and the 4D cinema.
- Free parking — handy if you rent a car for the day.
- Finish with dinner in Dubai Marina, about 20 minutes away.
