Ready… Set… LEGOOO!
If your kids dream in checkered flags and your living room floor is a danger zone of LEGO® bricks and toy race cars, we’ve got some wheelie exciting news. LEGOLAND® Dubai Resort is shifting into high gear with Build the Thrill, an epic Formula 1® and LEGO® mashup that’s all set to burn rubber (safely, of course) from April 5 to May 31, 2025.
It’s a full-throttle festival of creativity, speed, and family-friendly chaos where little racers can zoom into a world packed with pit stops, podiums, and plenty of plastic bricks. Whether your kiddo is the next Verstappen or just here for the doughnuts (both edible and LEGO), this is one ride you don’t want to miss.
Play in Pole Position
Every day in April and weekends in May, LEGOLAND Dubai turns into a mini Monaco—minus the billionaires but with way more fun. Your family will be greeted with revving engines (okay, imaginary ones), dancing pit crews, LEGO car-building zones, and so much trackside action, your FitBit might think you’re at an actual Grand Prix.
Your little legends will get sorted into Team Red or Team Blue at the entrance by spinning a wheel—because nothing says serious motorsport like a game of chance, right?
Build It. Race It. Win It.
At the Driver’s Academy, kids go full Fast & the Curious. They’ll build their own LEGO race cars, test them out in the Pit Lane, and compete in time trials to see who can clock the fastest time. There’s even a “Beat the Clock” challenge for all the future engineers and adrenaline junkies in training.
LEGOLAND’s Playmakers will be right there, dishing out speed tips and high-fives. The best part? Spot prizes and knockout-style races keep the energy pumping all day long. Victory tastes even sweeter when it’s sprinkled with a bit of friendly competition (and maybe a doughnut or two).
Pit Parties, Podiums & Prize Power
Now, what’s a race day without a bit of razzle-dazzle? Cue the Pit Party—a high-energy showdown that happens thrice a day. Team Red and Team Blue go head-to-head, and your kid can either jump into the action or play cheer squad from the sidelines. Either way, it’s a guaranteed blast.
Winners get their moment of glory at the Grand Podium Celebration, complete with trophies, props, and all the Insta-fame their parents’ phones can handle.
Oh, and don’t forget the Spin the Drum Raffle every night at 7:30 PM! You could drive home with a LEGO set worth AED 200. Because nothing says “best day ever” like going to bed with a brand new race car in a box.
Hall of Fame & MINILAND Magic
If your child builds something so awesome it deserves its own Netflix docuseries, head to the Hall of Fame. Their masterpiece could be displayed for all of LEGOLAND Dubai to see. Fame, glory, and maybe even surprise goodies await the boldest builders.
Meanwhile, MINILAND is joining the action with a car-themed scavenger hunt and some seriously slick LEGO model displays. Spoiler: It’s the coolest history class your kid will ever attend.
Fuel Up Like a Champion
All that racing (and running between attractions) calls for a serious snack break. Enter: Track Snacks. We’re talking Circuit Shakes that are creamier than your wildest pit stop dreams and Tyre Doughnuts that look like they just rolled off the racetrack—but taste like sugary victory.
LEGOLAND Hotel’s Bricks Family Restaurant is also serving these themed treats. So, whether you’re on the go or winding down, there’s no escaping the race-day deliciousness.
Sleep, Then Race Some More
Can’t get enough of the action? Book a stay at LEGOLAND Hotel, just 130 baby steps (yes, we counted) from the park. It’s your family’s racing-themed home base, complete with after-parties, exclusive workshops, and themed rooms that’ll make your kids feel like VIP drivers.
Don’t miss the Build the Thrill Creative Workshop in the lobby, where kids can design their own Grand Prix trophy with guidance from LEGOLAND’s Master Model Builders. It’s like the Oscars, but for tiny plastic bricks.
Take the Thrill Home
For those who want to keep the F1 fever alive at home (or just need to bribe the kids to leave peacefully), check out the exclusive LEGO® Formula 1® sets at the park. From Technic™ masterpieces to Speed Champions mini rockets, they’ve got every kind of model for every kind of fan.
Better yet, grab two car sets for just AED 169, or go full throttle and collect all ten for AED 839. That’s what we call building memories—literally.
Don’t Just Visit. Race There.
Whether your child is an aspiring engineer, a future F1 star, or just really into LEGO bricks and funky doughnuts, Build the Thrill is the event to beat this spring. It’s wild. It’s wacky. It’s wonderfully LEGO. And it’s happening only from 5th April to 31st May 2025 at LEGOLAND Dubai Resort.
So, grab your tickets online for AED 295 (save a little gas money over the AED 330 gate price) and get ready to speed, spin, snack, and smile your way through an unforgettable day.
