They've got a good selection of kid rides that my three year old really enjoyed as well as some character meet and greets she loved. The dolphins, sharks, and rays are all great too. The coasters are unique and fun. While nothing is too crazy, the wood one is one of the better wood coasters I've been on. It felt like they had better uptime compared to Movie World. The food here isn't great, but I didn't feel like it was overly expensive either. For ~$50 a person it was the right price.

Perfect for children but if you're gonna go during shoulder seasons especially in beginning of…read moreweeks, just be ready that a number of the rides might be closed! We went on both a Tuesday and Thursday. For Tuesday it was practically empty but most things were closed. Thursday more things were opened which is great. I'd you are considering which worlds to go to, I can confirm this is one of the best for young children. Most activities for kids under 100cm and got fish to look at. The seal show is a must go for kids as well. I think dream world does the same but if you are bound by the village road show bundle ticket then SeaWorld is the safe bet. I suggest getting 1 refill cup the moment you rock up in morning as well to make the most out of it.

Definitely less young kids friendly and if your kid is less than 110cm I say don't come just yet as…read morethey will be quite disappointed with the very limited option of stuff they can do. For adults however and teens. Movie world is perfect. However I would not come during school holidays as you will be expecting 50-60miles queues at every single attraction which will be an absolute pain. Foods not too expensive but don't expect too much. Come in shoulder seasons after 4 pm you practically get no queues for all attractions which is great. All in all I will come again but just not with young kids so I guess movie world won't be seeing me for some years.

This was a nice koala sanctuary with other Australian animals too. Parking is free. It's about…read more20-25 minutes driving from the city center. Adults are $63; children 3-13 are $45. It looks like there is a bus stop here, so maybe public transportation can take you straight here. I didn't really like that there was no physical map. They had a virtual one that you had to access on your phone. It was very interactive and helpful though. They also had free wifi throughout the sanctuary, and it actually worked everywhere and to some extent in the car park. I estimate that the whole sanctuary can be done in 2-3 hours. Their animal experiences are charged on top of admission and include koalas, dingoes, sheep dogs, reptiles, raptors, and barn animals. You have to check their schedule to see what time they start. I wish they had an option to hold koalas! I also wish they had an encounter for the wombats, or something more up close. The wombat area is quite large and hard to find them. The kangaroo grass area was covered in little poops! You have to watch where you're stepping. There's some cafes with food, snacks, and coffee, but there are also plenty of picnic tables and covered seating if you bring your own food. They have something like 100 koalas here, so come visit Lone Pine if you love koalas! *also posted on Google Maps

I cannot talk enough about how amazing the platinum tour at Lone Pine Koala sanctuary was!…read moreEVERYTHING about it was just *chef's kiss* it was just me and one other person and I learned so much about the wildlife and what the sanctuary does as a whole. These memories will last a lifetime. Our guide was THE BEST! Bucket list checked for sure! Getting into a bit more detail, I purchased the ticket online with ease. They immediately sent an email with your ticket as well as when to arrive, where to meet, recommended attire, and what to expect. The tour includes a morning snack in the koala cafe and lunch. Upon arrival, I spotted our guide and was provided a form to fill out with food selections. I was very impressed with options as well as the helpings. The food was quite delicious and filling. I don't know if I will ever be back in Brisbane in my lifetime but this was well worth the price. I'm glad I took the plunge and went for it! Far exceeded my expectations!

Unfortunately, it was raining…read morepretty heavily on our visit, but luckily, we came for the koala picture and that was covered thankfully. The picture was quite quick, and quite costly, but if you're like my family and I who love Koalas, it was worth it. The koala menu and pantry were such a cute addition to the koala area. Because of the rain, it was hard to explore the whole park even when wearing a poncho. You also had to pay to enter the park, despite booking the experience. We heard it's free later in the afternoon though (not sure if that's accurate but what we were told!).

You must absolutely visit this place. There is no other zoo like it. Not only because the animals…read moreare different from your average zoo in North America but you can pet them. Now I know there are petting zoos in the USA but those are for farm animals. Here you can pet the Koalas. I'll say that again- pet the Koalas! You can't do that in Sydney. The kangaroo station has them hopping around in the open for you to pet and Feed! If that's not enough the wallaby encounter allows you to pet the emu. No you cannot pet the wallabies. You can however feed the lorikeets(green bird) at your own peril. There are other animals here to see that doesn't exist in North America Zoos so don't miss it.

As good as Aussie theme parks get for thrill-chasers, Dreamworld only loses a star here because a…read morequarter of the park seemed to be closed for maintenance while we were there. Also, keep in mind we strategically visited during the working week well away from school holidays so the queues were pretty good. Mostly waited 5-10 mins for rides, only did 30 min waits once or twice. (Can imagine in peak times the lines would get cray-cray, so understand some of the queue gripes from other Yelpers.) Rides of note: - Tower of Terror 2: Don't understand the Terminator link, but the ride sure is great. Shoots you out and back so fast it almost doesn't feel real. (Too fast to even get scared!) - Pandamonium is in the kids-land part of the park, but is probably one of the craziest rides there. Goes wayyy too long, but is pretty thrilling. - Shockwave is listed as a family ride, but is more of a thrill than it looks. - Buzzsaw was ok. One of those 'tick, I did it!' rides more than it was an enjoyable one. - Log ride and Rapids are exactly what you'd expect. - Damn, The Giant Drop sure is a long way up. Also, the Tiger show is well worth a visit. Very impressive creatures. If you get lucky you might get to see the little cub around the park too, and even get a pat in. Big tick also for having so many water bubblers across the park. The website also mentions that you can't bring food in, but they don't check so go nuts. Looking forward to coming back when they're back operating at full capacity.

Placing one inside the Victoria Point Cineplex was a stroke of money making genius. I'm sure many parents have been convinced to let their children play a game or two while they wait impatiently for whatever Pixar movie they're seeing to start. This isn't the biggest game arcade I've ever seen, but there's certainly enough there to entertain. So if you're after a way to cure school holiday boredom, why not combine this with a movie and your kids will have gorgeous square eyes before you know it.

WhiteWater World is located next door to Dreamworld…read more... It is a pretty good water park with some good rides and fun little kiddie park.... the lines to go on the rides are ridiculously long and so incredibly slow.... staff don't seem to be that efficient at getting people through.... so would recommend that you go early or don't go during school holidays.... because there's not that many rides and you're competing with so many people... it takes forever to go down one ride. I would recommend that you take your lunches and snacks with you.... food options are limited, expensive and not very nice.... there's lots of junk food but no real healthy options.... and especially if you're vego - there's absolutley nothing here other than chips and cake.... so bring something with you! lockers cost $10 per day... and only take change - so make sure you grab that before you enter the park.. otherwise you have to line up with everyone else getting change and competing to grab locker - which there doesn't seem as though there are enough of them at the park for everyone. The wave pool is great!..... Love the pipeline plunge area with the dumping water bucket - lots of fun... The supertube hydrocoaster seems to be the most popular ride and the line is super long... so get there early and do that one first... Great day out for everyone and definitely one park to make sure that you do while visiting the Gold Coast - highly recommend, but go there early and not during school holidays! :)

I don't really care much for drops and slides though and was happiest in the Cave of Waves ocean wave pool and splashing around with the kids at the Pipeline Plunge, waiting for the big bucket to tip over! Food options are poor (hot dogs and chips) so you might want to bring your own. I don't think it's worth the money for a day pass but if you're planning on going to WhiteWater World/ Dreamworld over several days the multiday passes would be better value at only a few dollars more.
