Gold Coast is home to Australia's best theme parks. If you are looking for fun and excitement during your trip then you will be spoilt for choice. Check out the top theme parks on Gold Coast that you should not miss.
It's not wrong to say that Dreamworld is Gold Coast's most popular theme park. It offers a fun day out for visitors of all ages. Spread across a massive 30 hectares, the park offers a wide range of fun rides, games, cafes, arcades, dessert parlours, restaurants, and souvenir shops. If you are a thrill-seeker then Dreamworld is a must-do for you. It is home to the tallest and the fastest adventure ride in the world. The Tower of Terror 2 has a free fall of 355 feet. The Claw ride does a 360-degree spin at 63km per hour. Kiddies are going to love ABC Kids World and Wiggles World as well as the learning hub of Dreamworld Corroboree. Tiger Island is another highlight of Dreamworld you must no miss. If you plan to stay at Avani Broadbeach Gold Coast Residences then a 30-minute bus ride will bring you here. Theme park hopping is one of the best things to do in Broadbeach during your holiday.
Sea World is where you can get one of the best marine life experiences in the country. It will be a fun and educative outing for the whole family. It's not all about marine creatures but you can get up close with penguins, seals, polar bears and dolphins. The biggest man-made lagoon Shark Bay is also located here. Adventure junkies are going to love the Storm Coaster while younger children can enjoy the fun rides at Nickelodeon Land. You also get popular cartoon character themed areas including the enchanting world of Dora, the underwater world of SpongeBob SquarePants and the battleground of the Teenage Mutant Ninjas.
Wet N Wild Water Park is where you can splish-splash all day long. One of Australia's best theme parks Wet N Wild offers something for everyone. Kids can ride on more calm rides while adults can enjoy the more thrilling rides. The wet roller coaster and the Mammoth Falls are rides you will never forget. Children below the age of 10 can relax at the Wet n Wild Junior area which is secured with lifeguards. You can purchase a day pass or come back for more action on another day.
If you want the complete 'Hollywood' experience, there's no better place than the Warner Brother Movie World. Be your favourite star for a day by dressing up like them. There's a wide range of adrenalin pumping theme rides from your favourite stars including the much-loved superheroes. Kids are going to love the 4D Lego Movie at the Roxy Theatre or the Looney Tune village where you can meet your favourite cartoon characters.
The WhiteWater World theme park is located adjoining Dreamworld. You get the adrenalin pumping, action-packed rides here along with kid-friendly rides that are less adventurous. The extreme waterslides at the park are mind-blowing and leave you wanting more action after each splash.
