Designed for children aged two to 12, the park greets guests with a 26metre Lego figure named Dada.
Once inside, visitors can explore a number of exclusive attractions such as a live theatre where the world premiere of the Lego Monkie Kid show will be taking place.
And the park hasn't stopped at land-based rides either.
Guests can hop on the world-first water-town boat tour, which takes them on a cruise through a Chinese water town built entirely from Lego bricks.
Another first for the brand at this resort is Legoland Creative World - which allows visitors to see the largest Lego Minifigure in history.
At Brick Street and Bricktopia there will also be a number of live shows.
Then in the Lego Ninjago-themed land, families can enjoy three major rides - Lego Ninjago The Ride, Jay's Gravity Force Trainer, and Kai's Sky Master.
For slightly younger guests, there is then the Lego City land.
And if that wasn't enough, there is also Lego Friends land for water lovers complete with a jet-ski based Water Race Challenge, boat building competitions and a 'Beach Party'.
In the Lego Castle land, guests are transported into a magical land with wizards and dragons.

Families can also team up to complete a firefighting rescue challenge at the Driving School.
Astonishingly, the park is home to over 85million Lego bricks which make up thousands of different models across the site's 318,000square-metres.
And amongst all the rides and models, guests can also interact with robotic minifigures.
According to Blooloop, the park is home to the world's first, interactive Lego Minifigures, where guests "can talk to them, and they'll respond to you in real time".

Artificial Intelligence has also been used in the park with the world's first AI Brick Girl Minifigure that helps visitors explore the Creative World.
Before guests even arrive at the park they can also create their own Lego companion on WeChat - a messaging app similar to WhatsApp - that will appear at different touchpoints throughout the resort.
As for places to relax and refresh, there are six restaurants to choose from including Pigsy's Food Court, CITY Restaurant and Bricks Family Restaurant.
Alternatively, visitors can head to one of 10 food stands, whilst also exploring the park's 10 shops.
And if visitors want to extend their time at the resort, there is a Legoland Hotel with character meet-ups and pyjama parties.
Until July 13, the park is hosting a number of events to celebrate its grand opening.
On the Lego Plaza there will be daily welcome shows, meet-and-greet opportunities and the chance for visitors to get their hands on merch and discounts.
Tickets to the park start from £49.95 per person.
