Dubai Parks' National Day tickets sell out in less than 2 hours

Dubai Parks and Resorts today announced that its #DPR NationalPride tickets sold out in less than two hours giving 27,000 guests the chance to experience Legoland Dubai and Bollywood Parks Dubai at the National Day anniversary equivalent price of Dh45.

Last week, Dubai Parks and Resorts confirmed it will celebrate UAE National Day annually with a limited number of tickets priced equivalent to the anniversary year. 

This year, Dubai Parks and Resorts marked the 45th UAE National Day by offering 4,500 tickets for Dh45 per person per park from (1st December – 3rd December) at Legoland Dubai and Bollywood Parks Dubai.

As the largest integrated theme park destination in the region, Dubai Parks and Resorts is a destination that the UAE can be proud of and it is only fitting to mark UAE National Day annually in a truly memorable way.

Due to the astounding demand for the #DPRNationalPride tickets online, additional Dh45 tickets were made available which also sold out. 

Subject to capacity in the parks over the National Day Weekend, families looking to celebrate together will still be able to buy regular tickets for Legoland Dubai and Bollywood Parks Dubai on arrival at the park gates. 

Alternatively, they will be able to enjoy all the National Day celebrations without a ticket at Riverland Dubai. 

Visitors are recommended to come early to ensure they can enjoy all the destination has to offer.

Riverland Dubai is a unique themed district at the heart of Dubai Parks and Resorts that offers a wide range of dining, retail and entertainment and no ticket is required for entry.

From 2nd to 3rd December, Riverland Dubai will be fully dressed for the National Day celebrations and feature interactive entertainment, traditional activities like henna painting, dance and falconry and boat rides along the river on a festively decorated fleet. 

On 2nd December a children’s choir from the Dubai International School and Kings School Al Barsha, will be performing by the river and from 4.30pm – 10pm on 2nd and 3rd December there will also be live music at the Riviera Plaza.

From burgers to burritos, seafood to smoothies and steak to stir-fry, Riverland Dubai offers everything from casual to fine dining that family and friends can enjoy together over the National Day weekend.

Guests with tickets to Legoland Dubai or Bollywood Parks Dubai will enjoy over 76 interactive rides, shows, attractions and experiences, many of which have never been seen anywhere else in the world before. 

Some of the many highlights include MINILAND in Legoland Dubai where families can admire UAE landmarks made from 20 million Lego bricks and, in the world’s first Bollywood theme park, see big screen Bollywood movies brought to life via cinematic rides and thrilling 3D and 4D simulations.

Raed Kajoor Al Nuaimi, CEO of DXB Entertainments PJSC, the owner of Dubai Parks and Resorts said: “We are delighted that so many people have chosen to celebrate UAE National Day with us at Dubai Parks and Resorts. Our aim was to create a unique theme park destination in the heart of the UAE that the country could be truly proud of and I hope everyone visiting us this weekend will share this sentiment on one of the most important days in our history. Whether enjoying Legoland Dubai and Bollywood Parks Dubai or the National Day activities, dining and entertainment available without a ticket at Riverland Dubai, there will be something for the whole family to enjoy over the National Day weekend.”
