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.

This land features a number of speed and height attractions too.
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.

We went on what we thought was a normal cruise but were surrounded by swingers trying to have sex with us, it was awful
The holidaymaker said she will never go on a cruise again after her experience ROCK THE BOAT We went on what we thought was a normal cruise but were surrounded by swingers trying to have sex with us, it was awful Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN who thought she was going on a romantic cruise with her partner was left stunned after she realised what was really going on. Robyn-Jay was looking forward to her 10-day cruise, but that excitement quickly faded when she realised many of the holiday makers were swingers. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Robyn-Jay and her partner, William, were approached by swingers on the trip Credit: 2 Robyn-Jay said she would never go on a cruise again after her experience Credit: Taking to TikTok to share her story, she explained that she and her partner went to the ship's nightclub on the first night as they tried to settle in and get their bearings. That's when things began to take a turn and as they decided to sit in a booth and people watch when a man came up to them to ask if they "wanted a third", Robyn-Jay claimed. But the strange encounters didn't end there, as on the second night Robyn-Jay claimed a woman called their room and tried to hook up with the couple, despite having never met them before. According to Robyn-Jay, the woman needed to know their room number, which they didn't share, to be able to call, which made the couple feel uneasy. The pair said they could also hear couples from other rooms on the ship shouting at each other from their balconies. "It's not that they were friends, they were trying to arrange hook ups," she said in the viral video. But it was what allegedly happened next that drew the line for the holidaymaker. She explained that one night she got all dressed up to enjoy some of the entertainment the cruise put on. After finding a quiet place to sit with her partner, Robyn-Jay claimed she noticed a man sat at another tabled was staring at her. "This was something different, this was a whole other level. I felt so uncomfortable in my skin, it really gives you that horrible feeling inside," she said.

She went on to explain that her partner, William, soon noticed and called the man out on his behaviour before he got up and left with his wife. The holidaymaker went on to claim that she even saw an older man act inappropriately towards a young girl on the ship and he was overly touchy with her. "I just really think [cruises are] a place for a bit of lawlessness and I think people go there knowing that and I honestly dread to think what goes on in the eyes of other people," she said. After sharing her experience, people chimed in to share their experiences on cruise ships, and many thought Robyn-Jay got unlucky. "I've just been on a Marella Cruise and never experienced anything like this," one person said. And a second agreed: "Been on a few cruises - not my experience," they commented on the video. "This could have happened absolutely anywhere, it's not because you were on a cruise. It's also completely common knowledge that cruises are swinger's paradise," someone else wrote. And someone who claimed to work for a cruise company added: "This is a well known thing on some cruise ships. "Unfortunately you have experienced some awful behaviour and some people should understand that not everyone's a swinger. Not all cruise lines behave like this."
