As if the Burj Khalifa itself were not enough, Dubai now holds the tallest Lego building in the world, too. Legoland, the latest amusement park that is all set to open doors at the end of October, will showcase this Lego Burj Khalifa, inside Miniland. The model stands 17 metres tall and weighs a ton, and was designed and built in over 5,000 hours using 439,000 Lego bricks. Legoland Dubai, which is considered to be the region’s largest integrated theme park destination, will also have a creative LED light show and a recreation of the famous dancing fountain that is iconic to the real Burj Khalifa. The park is designed for families with children aged 2-12 and will feature over 40 interactive rides, shows and attractions as well as 15,000 Lego model structures made from over 60 million Lego bricks. There will be six-themed lands – Lego City, Adventure, Kingdoms, Imagination, Factory and Miniland. Admission tickets cost AED250, and if you desire additional passes for a day at the waterpark housed within, you’ll have to shell out a cool AED 350. Well, here’s to another feather in Dubai’s cap.
