Dubai Parks and Resorts, billed as the region’s largest theme park destination, will open its doors on October 31.

Built on an area of 16 million sq ft, the $3.6-billion destination features three theme parks – Bollywood Parks Dubai, Motiongate Dubai and Legoland Dubai – together with Legoland Water Park. 

The destination will also include Riverland Dubai, a retail, dining and entertainment experience, along with the Lapita Hotel, a Polynesian-themed family resort. 

“I can’t say enough about how excited we are to welcome our guests to the destination,” said Raed Kajoor Al Nuaimi, CEO of Dubai Parks and Resorts. “Nothing of this magnitude has ever been done before, and we look forward to offering our guests close to 100 unforgettable rides, attractions and experiences. As the largest entertainment destination in the region, Dubai Parks and Resorts will create jobs in Dubai, support the UAE’s tourism vision and grow the family leisure industry in the region.”

Bollywood Parks Dubai is the first of its kind in the world, providing guests with a flavour of Bollywood and Indian culture through immersive rides, food, stunning live performances and extravagant entertainment.

 Motiongate Dubai, the largest Hollywood-inspired theme park in the Middle East, unites three legendary film studios within one theme park – Sony Pictures Studios including the Smurfs, DreamWorks Animation and Lionsgate. 

Legoland Dubai will feature more than 40 interactive rides, shows and attractions and 15,000 Lego model structures made from over 60 million Lego bricks while Legoland Water Park, located adjacent to Legoland, will feature more than 20 water slides and attractions.
