First Look Inside Legoland Dubai

theme parks in dubai
Yesterday, I went for the soft opening of Legoland Dubai. It's a much anticipated attraction at the Dubai Parks & Resorts - home also to the Bollywood Parks (I hear you can film your own movie here), MotionGate (a Hollywood inspired theme park), Lapita (a Polynesian, tribal themed Marriott hotel) and Riverland (retail and dining zone). Now who doesn't love Lego right? I remember spending as many hours building Lego house models as I did playing with Barbie! So when you get a free ticket for a trial run of the park, you go!

This wasn't the first Legoland I have visited. On a trip to the U.K., we spent such a fantastic day at the Legoland. Imagine what a fascinating sight it was to my ten year old eyes! I vividly remember seeing a Lego version of a giant Cadbury chocolate bar. The miniature recreation of London in Lego has stayed in my mind. With no photos from that visit, it's only fading memories that I hang on to, and it all came flooding back when I walked in to Legoland Dubai last evening. 

Located opposite the Palm Jebel Ali, getting to Dubai Parks & Resorts is best possible if you're driving there. There's no metro connectivity and cabs are hard-to-find. It's quite a ride so stock up on some chips and water before you head away. Winter's the best time to visit so they're just about opening in time. Summer would mean sandstorms and closure of some rides. Tickets are priced around AED 200 per visit per head and annual passes are available too at a whopping two grand a pop. There's WiFi here, so don't worry about connectivity; enjoy, click and share your experience!

So let's jump straight into it: the best part about Legoland Dubai is the indoor air-conditioned Miniland. Lego experts have painfully recreated Dubai and global attractions in a miniature format. The entire Sheikh Zayed Road with its glimmering towers, complete with moving traffic on the road was quite something to look at. The Burj Khalifa even here was an attraction - you can catch the wondrous spectacle of the Dubai Fountain here too. But the Dubai Creek and Desert with its belly dancing figures were fantastic. The level of detail is commendable; if you looked closely you'd even see little Lego figures selling their wares inside the souks. Oh and how could I forget the moving metro from station to station. I thought the mini metro moved faster than the real life one! Then there was also the heritage sites from Petra Jordan, the Taj Mahal from India and Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque from Abu Dhabi, all majestically Lego-ed. Here are some pictures and videos from inside Miniland....enjoy!

Let's talk rides now - most of the rides were perfect for the kids. Apart from the roller coaster which was closed yesterday, the adults wouldn't get their adrenaline going here. But I am sure you would love spending time at the Play Table where you can build Lego figures just the way you like it! My guess is the Legoland Water Park once open would be enjoyable for the adults and kids alike (there's a catch here: additional entry fees required to the Water Park).

While at Legoland, you won't be left hungry. There's around 12 options to choose from among restaurants, food stands and snacks. Dubai Parks and Resorts will see a phased opening. While Legoland Dubai and Riverland open on 31st October, Legoland Water Park and Bollywood Park opens 15th November and finally MotionGate on 16th December. Frankly, MotionGate looks exciting - think about it, movie characters and sets from the best movies from Lionsgate, Sony Pictures and Dreamworks will come alive here (think: Shrek and family! So much to see, so little time! Buy your passes now.

  10. Legoland Dubai is one of the most famous resort in the list of Dubai parks and resorts, my younger child is very excited to visit this place and has surfed a lot on internet and then told me everything about the resort and what it the cost of tickets and how to buy them. Now I have told him to surf more about getting a Dubai visa so that we can apply for it and as soon as it is stamped we can go on a family holiday.

  15. Investing in YouTube subscribers is a forward-thinking approach to jumpstarting a channel's growth, providing an immediate boost in visibility and appeal. This strategy offers a unique advantage by displaying an established subscriber base that attracts more organic views and interactions. With a higher subscriber count, channels are perceived as more authoritative and credible, drawing in a wider audience. This method significantly speeds up the natural growth process, allowing content creators to concentrate on producing high-quality videos and enhancing their creative offerings rather than worrying about subscriber numbers. It paves the way for increased engagement, higher rankings in search results, and better chances of being recommended by YouTube's algorithm. Additionally, this strategy simplifies the path to monetization, helping creators achieve their financial goals sooner. It's a smart investment for those looking to make a significant impact in the digital realm, setting the stage for long-term success and community building.

INSIDE THE GO CHEESE FACTORY

Last weekend, I got a unique opportunity to visit Gowardhan Cheese Factory in Manchar district, a good two hour drive from Pune city. The owning home-grown company Parag Milk Foods brand portfolio includes Gowardhan and GO boasting of a range of dairy products that have been retailed across Mumbai and Pune over the last decade. I first started using their yoghurt when the local kirana store ran out of my usual preference of Amul , Danone and Britannia . One spoon of it and I instantly found it so fresh, light and 'unprocessed'. I have always loved cheese but now I even prefer it over chocolate. So when I was scheduled to visit the GO factory, it bore semblance to winning the golden ticket and entering glistening gates to its factory much like the popular Roald Dahl 's  Charlie . Except that it was not all that dramatic! 

An Immersive Stay at Andaz Amsterdam

I have stayed at some great hotels, but none were like the Andaz Amsterdam . None of them. No hotel has impressed me as much as this Hyatt brand of hotel has. It's so good, it warrants an entire blog post. And here is why - right from the word check-in, you're really made to feel like you've stepped into a little slice of Amsterdam .  The hotel is located on one of the hottest streets in Amsterdam called Prinsengracht, a street along the city's most prestigious canal. A lot of the city's attractions are a short walk away. The hotel is designed by the famous Dutch designer Marcel Wanders . So no wonder hints of this vibrant old city of Amsterdam peek out from the interiors to induct you into Dutch culture. The lobby was stunning - with its prominently blue interiors, there was a touch of quirk everywhere. From the very high ceiling is suspended an enormous artsy lighting-cum-chandelier installation.  Above each reception desk there are huge white bell-shap

Restaurant Review | Where Else Cafe & Bar

Where Else promises to be unique in Viman Nagar, a neighbourhood already brimming with so many eateries.   Four young friends came together to put their love for food and travel experiences in a melting pot called ‘Where Else’. This new café and bar is the brainchild of sibling duo Ardesh and Daisy Rustomjee and best friend duo Amritha Shrikumar and Sweta Jobanputra. These Viman Nagar residents have been firsthand witnesses to the rise of new eateries in their locality. With ‘Where Else’ they aim to fill in the void of a place that offers all-day breakfast and good quality indulgent food. We drove to the outlet in its first week of opening to find out if ‘Where Else’ is the place to be.
