Dreamworld Landscape

We sell tickets to all the Gold Coast Theme Parks  and we can best advise you on which packages to buy. Just ask at reception.

Movie World: Just across the Road: New DC Hyper coaster is open for business. This is the fastest and longest hypercoaster in the Southern hemisphere AND you can see the green glow from the Joker who sits atop the coast at night from our park. (we are just across the road)

Topgolf: Just across the Road:  Near Movie World With 90 climate-controlled bays, delicious food and drinks, great music and a game that’s fun for everyone, Topgolf is the Gold Coast’s most exciting new entertainment venue and it's awesome. You dont even need to have played golf before...so much fun

Dream World: A 10 minute drive: The Tiger Show is great for the littler kids

Wet n Wild: A 5 minute drive: Awesome fun for bigger kids

Outback Spectacular: You can walk there: Great Dinner but book in early to get your preferred date

Game Over: Next door to our park and great for rainy or extra hot days

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary: You can get up close and personal with Australian Flora and Fauna. It is about 25 minute’s drive south of the park depending on traffic

Gold Coast Wake Park: 10 minutes’ drive, and anyone can participate so long as they are competent swimmers

Night Quarter: Groovy hip and happening and not far from the park. Great food and great entertainment every Friday and Sturday nights

Whale Watching: The Gold Coast enjoys Australia’s longest whale watching season and the advantage of having to travel just 10 minutes out to sea to visit these giants in their natural habitat. From June until November each year the waters along the Gold Coast become known as 'The Humpback Highway' with around 25,000 sightings.

Currumbin Rock Pools: A favourite to spend some quiet time after visiting Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary:

Paradise Country: This is a fair dinkum Aussies experience. Great for international visitors

George Dragon Seafood Restaurant: Great for special occasions and seafood lovers. Prices are reasonable. It also has casual dinning
