I never can quite get over how much these resemble the real thing!

There is also the most wonderful waterpark on site too, which our children loved!

In the heart of the Arabian desert, LEGOLAND Dubai is a beacon of family-friendly fun. The LEGO-themed adventure continues even underwater at the LEGOLAND Water Park, where you can build your own LEGO raft.
