Australia · THEME PARK TICKETS
This is the list you would text a mate who lands on Friday: 11 theme park tickets that hold their price, each with the traveller verdict and the one thing worth knowing beforehand.
Spend two hours at the Australian Outback Spectacular near Queensland’s Gold Coast. You’ll follow two farmers through hardship and hope while horses, acrobats, comedy, music, and special effects bring the story to life. Your ticket includes a three-course dinner, beer, wine or soft drinks, bush tea, a stockman’s hat, and parking.
“Everything was a great experience the meal was superb thank 3”
Ride the Q1 elevator to SkyPoint’s 77th-floor observation deck in about 43 seconds. From 230 metres above Surfers Paradise, you can see the beach, city and hinterland in one 360-degree view. Visit for breakfast, sunset or evening drinks, and stay for a meal if the weather and opening hours suit.
“Amazing to see Gold Coast in 360 view while chilling with some drinks at the 77th level of SkyPoint which you're reach by the elevator in just 38seconds!”
You get five consecutive days of entry to Warner Bros. Movie World, Sea World, Wet’n’Wild and Paradise Country after your first visit. The open-dated ticket is valid for three months before activation, includes parking, and suits families who want rides, shows, marine life, water slides and farm activities without buying separate tickets.
“It was good and fun, but we taught the parks would be bigger, for what we paid...”
Cruise from Main Beach aboard the purpose-built Spirit of Migaloo II to the Australian Whale Sanctuary. The 2.5-hour trip includes captain commentary, marine naturalist guidance, hydrophones, and a 100% whale sighting guarantee. Look for humpbacks from late May to early November, plus dolphins, turtles, and seabirds.
“You're going to see whales. They may only be swimming along peacefully minding their own business, but you will see them. We saw moms and their calves. The crew was courteous and helpful. Lots of good information. Always responded when a whale was spotted.”
Take a five-minute helicopter flight from Sea World’s private terminal over the Gold Coast, Broadwater, Q1, South Stradbroke Island, hinterland, and Sea World. Your English-speaking pilot provides live commentary, and you can take photos from your seat. Allow about 20 minutes for check-in, briefing, and flying.
“It was fantastic, just slightly too short another 5-10 minutes would’ve been perfect.”
Spend one day at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast, with access to thrill rides, family zones, wildlife encounters, and seasonal WhiteWater World entry. Ride Steel Taipan, Giant Drop, and Gold Coaster, meet tigers at Tiger Island, and see koalas, kangaroos, dingoes, and crocodiles. The ticket is valid for 365 days, but park entry is for one day.
“We were limited to what rides we could do due to the age of the children However very impressed with the ones we could go on and the very friendly staff”
Use one ticket for three days of access to Dreamworld, WhiteWater World, and SkyPoint Observation Deck within seven days of your first visit. Ride The Giant Drop and Jungle Rush, cool off on water slides, then see the Gold Coast from 230 metres above sea level at Q1. Check operating hours before you go.
“Il est dommage de payer l’activité sur Get yourGuide et de devoir faire la queue pour valider ses billets. C’est une perte de temps. En plus la caissière ne savait pas s’y prendre. On a dû attendre et on a perdu un temps considérable à la caisse et à savoir que le parc Dreamworld ferme à 16h30, ses activités en arrivant et qu’il ouvre un 10h30 et que l’on doit faire la queue jusque 11h30. C’est un peu dommage.”
Spend two days within seven days at Dreamworld and SkyPoint. Plan thrill rides such as Steel Taipan and Giant Drop, wildlife time at Tiger Island, and 360-degree views from the Q1 Tower. The $91 ticket is valid for 365 days, but entry is non-refundable and food is not included.
“super parc à refaire et une vue magnifique au Skypoint”
Climb the outside of Q1 in Surfers Paradise with a guide and a group of up to 10 people. After a 30-minute safety briefing, spend about an hour reaching the summit, 270 metres above sea level. Your $65 ticket includes SkyPoint entry, a photo, cap, and certificate.
Use one pass for unlimited entry to Warner Bros. Movie World, Sea World, Wet’n’Wild, and Paradise Country across 14 consecutive days. Ride Batman and Superman coasters, meet Looney Tunes characters, see dolphins and penguins, race down water slides, and visit farm animals. The pass is wheelchair accessible and non-refundable after purchase.
“Pleins d’attractions fermés, dont les plus importantes. Pass de 14 jours, parcs entierement fermés 1 semaine”
At Paradise Country in Oxenford, Queensland, you can visit the baby animal nursery, feed kangaroos, see koalas and meerkats, and watch sheep herding, whip cracking, damper making and stock-horse displays. Admission includes all shows, while animal encounters, food, drinks and transport cost extra.
“It was a good experience although it became too hot and we could not roam around the sanctuary as the kids were getting hot of the weather. The tractor experience were amazing, the tour guides were very nice and friendly.”
Pick a reef, a cellar door or a coast road.
