There are 28 new rides in the park, for a total of 105 - including the Middle East’s tallest vertical slide and the first cliff jumping experience in the region. The record-breaking waterslides are accompanied by a shark-filled lagoon for an extra dose of thrills, as well as food & beverage, retail kiosks and a private beach.

One of Dubai’s newest water parks, Laguna is located in the picturesque La Mer development right along the Arabian Gulf. It is divided into four distinct zones - Splash, Surf, Slide and Relax - with rides and attractions to fit each theme. The main attraction is the WaveOz180 surf machine, one of only three such machines in the world and the only one in the Middle East. The park also features water slides, lazy rivers, and a children’s splash park. Heading out of Laguna takes you to the waterfront promenade of La Mer with a variety of restaurants, plus the popular Jumeirah beach.

Combine the universal appeal of LEGOs with all of the excitement of a water park at LEGOLAND Dubai, part of the Dubai Parks & Resorts. Aside from the usual attractions such as water slides, wave riders Legoland offers a few attractions that make the most of its unique concept. The park’s Build-a-Boat station lets you put together your own little LEGO boat that can take to the water (if you’ve put it together correctly). Or if you would prefer to be waterbound yourself, then you can head to the Build-a-Raft River, where you can construct a life-size LEGO raft.
