A Gold Coast Holiday Built for Families
Golden beaches, theme parks and a hinterland full of waterfalls, the Gold Coast is Australia's favourite family holiday spot for good reason. Whatever the kids are into, rollercoasters, cuddly wildlife, big views or big sea creatures, there's a Gold Coast experience built around it. Here's where to start planning.
Theme Park Days
No Gold Coast family trip is complete without a theme park day, and the 1 Day Dreamworld Ticket is the easy way in, rollercoasters for the thrill seekers, Tiger Island for the animal lovers, and Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland for the little ones. Keen to cover more ground? The Single Day Multi Theme Park Pass bundles Wet'n'Wild, Movie World, Sea World and Paradise Country into one ticket for a full day of family fun.
Meet Native Wildlife at Currumbin
The Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary ticket gets the whole family up close with koalas, kangaroos and crocodiles in a lush rainforest setting, plus daily shows like the Wild Skies Free Flight Bird Show and the Rainbow Lorikeet feeding that kids never seem to tire of.
Views the Whole Family Will Remember
The SkyPoint Observation Deck Family Pass takes everyone up to level 77 of the Q1 building, Australia's only beachside observation deck, for 360 degree views over the coastline and hinterland that make a great first stop on any Gold Coast trip.
Spot a Humpback Whale
Between June and November, the Whale Watching Cruise from Sea World takes families out to the Humpback Highway for a close encounter with these gentle giants, with underwater microphones onboard so the kids can listen in on real whale song.
Local tip: pair Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary with a morning whale watching cruise during migration season, animals on land and at sea in the one Gold Coast day.
Sort your family's Gold Coast holiday above, theme parks, wildlife, sky high views and whale watching all included. All good days are waiting.
