The Parks, One by One
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
5km / 10 minutes south via the Gold Coast Highway
Meet koalas, kangaroos, crocodiles and native wildlife. Daily shows, Aboriginal culture experiences, and the TreeTop Challenge ropes course. Great for families and overseas visitors — half a day well spent. A quick drive south, or the 700 bus runs direct.
Sea World Gold Coast
15km / 29 minutes north via the Gold Coast Highway
Australia’s premier marine park — dolphins, sharks, penguins, polar bears, and the Leviathan wooden coaster, with shows running daily. Sea World Carnivale runs each February and March with fireworks and extended hours; book early, we fill up fast.
Movie World Gold Coast
30km / 26 minutes north via the M1
Hollywood on the Gold Coast — the DC Rivals HyperCoaster, Superman Escape, the Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster, and the famous Main Street parade. Straight up the M1, free parking back at the motel. Tip: pair it with Wet’n’Wild next door — same exit, two parks, one trip.
Wet’n’Wild Gold Coast
30km / 26 minutes north via the M1
Australia’s biggest water park — the wave pool, the slides, the lazy river, and the Aqua Loop drop. Right next door to Movie World. Tip: bring your own towel and snacks to save inside the park.
Dreamworld
40km / 32 minutes north via the M1
Australia’s biggest theme park — the Tower of Terror II, the Giant Drop, Wiggles World, and Tiger Island. WhiteWater World is right next door. M1 north to the Coomera exit. Tip: combo passes for both parks save you money.
WhiteWater World
40km / 32 minutes north via the M1
The water park next to Dreamworld — Pipeline Plunge, the Cave of Waves, and Wiggle Bay for the little ones. Combo tickets available with Dreamworld.
