The Easter holiday is coming!

Excitement awaits on the Gold Coast. And alongside its year-round sunny beaches, the Gold Coast boasts some of the best attractions for families looking for a coastal break packed with thrills. 

As of March 2021, the Queensland border is open! Round up the kids and spoil them to a day out at the following Gold Coast attractions – all COVID Safe.

Gold Coast Theme Parks

The Gold Coast has two massive theme parks, both offering plenty to do and experience. These are Warner Bros Movie World and Dreamworld, Australia’s biggest theme park.

Not sure which one to visit? Movie World features themed rides and attractions, ideal for younger kids. Dreamworld, on the other hand, has a bit of everything: high-speed roller coasters, family rides, kids rides and even animal exhibits!

Gold Coast Water Parks

If your kids love to splash and swim, you’re going to want to visit Wet’n’Wild Gold Coast. This water park has multiple swimming precincts (wave pools!), water rides and an assortment of water slides big and small.

There’s also GC Aqua Park, located in Southport, which is more of an obstacle course (for ages 5 and up). It’s got slides, trampoline jumps and various obstacles for both thrills and giggles.

Surfers Paradise

You can’t go wrong with a day out in Surfers Paradise. In addition to Surfers Paradise Beach, this holiday hub boasts various attractions for all ages and thrill levels.

Just some of these include Timezone, Gold Coast Wax Museum, King Tutts Putt Putt, Slingshot Fun Park, INFINITY and SkyPoint – THE place to soak up the best view on the Gold Coast.

Sea World

Seaworld has something for everyone for an experience to remember long after the school holiday. This world-class marine life park has numerous exhibits (polar bears, sharks, penguins, jellyfish, dolphins, seals and more) plus up-close swimming encounters and breathtaking live presentations.

If that’s not enough, Sea World Gold Coast also features a selection of rides for the whole family!

Main Beach Gold Coast

Main Beach Gold Coast, just north of Surfers Paradise, is the perfect destination for enjoying all of the above. Main Beach is the home of SEA WORLD, with Dreamworld, Movie World and Wet n Wild just 25 minutes drive away!
