LEGOLAND® Dubai Resort Joins Forces for Heartwarming Initiative Led by Dubai Police at Dubai International Airport
Renowned for its state-of-the-art facilities, Dubai International Airport's Terminal 3 welcomed 33 children aged 4 to 15 from Al Etihad Charity Foundation, representing diverse nationalities including the UAE, Egypt, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Jordan, and Yemen. The children were treated to an immersive journey through Terminal 3's departures and arrivals process—experiencing everything from immigration, security, lounges, Duty Free and Dubai Customs.
The day concluded on a high note as the beloved LEGOLAND Boy and Girl mascots greeted the children at Dubai Customs with specially curated LEGO® gift sets, creating joyful memories and spreading smiles in line with the resort's mission to bring happiness to every child through the power of play.
This initiative aligns with the UAE's Year of Community, reinforcing the nation's commitment to fostering unity, compassion, and shared responsibility through collaborative outreach and inclusive experiences. "At LEGOLAND® Dubai Resort, we believe every child deserves moments of joy, wonder and play. Being part of this initiative alongside such impactful organisations was an honour,"
said Tim Harrison-Jones, General Manager, LEGOLAND Dubai Resort. 'Seeing the smiles on the children's faces reminded us why community engagement matters – it's these small acts of kindness that help build a stronger, more connected society.'
