3 Best Theme Parks of the Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is a hub of theme parks: Here are our top picks

The Gold Coast is known as the hub of theme parks in Australia. It’s almost like all the theme parks have congregated in just this one area of the country – which is probably something to do with its mild climates, proximity to the coast and (mostly) sunny skies.

The theme parks on the Gold Coast are all incredibly family-friendly. Or take your mates for a spin on the rides.

The theme parks up here are popular with both international tourists and Aussies alike.

Some of the most famous Gold Coast theme parks are:

• Dreamworld
• Whitewater World
• Warner Bors
• Movie World
• Wet n Wild

Which Gold Coast theme park is the best?

There are so many theme parks on the Gold Coast that it might be a bit overwhelming to choose from one that you’d want to visit! Not only are there loads of different theme parks, but there are heaps of different types, too.

With aquatic theme parks, nature-themed wildlife theme parks and good old-fashioned mega-rollercoaster theme parks…there’s lots of fun to be had!

Wet N Wild Gold Coast

The biggest water park in Australia!

A big water park that is all about big water slides. Say no more! They board three massive slides, which all land in a huge splash zone. The map is huge, and the area covered is enormous. Make sure you pick up a map at the entry desk.

Wet N Wild is the ultimate cool off – the perfect theme park for a hot day in Queensland. Check out the Punchbowl – the pools and slides here are some of the tallest water slides in Australia. Plus, don’t miss the Wave Pool.

Warner Bros Movie World

Batman, Spider-Man, Mickey Mouse, whatever your favourite movie character, you’ll likely find it at Movie World. A popular hit with families, this fantastical theme park recreates all of the world’s favourite movies and brings all of these fun characters to life.

The rides here are an absolute thrill! You’ll be able to experience some of the most famous movie rollercoasters in real life.

You could be skipping along the Yellow Brick Road around the Wizard of Oz, or climbing on the Scooby Doo rollercoaster. The kids (and big kids!) will love the Warner Bros Movie World.

Dreamworld

This Coomera theme park is famous for its iconic ride, Steel Taipan.
