Dreamworld

Dreamworld sits on Dreamworld Parkway at Coomera, on the northern Gold Coast — one of Australia's largest and most famous theme parks. A genuine icon of the Gold Coast, it packs in a huge range of attractions: thrill rides and roller coasters, family rides, a water park (WhiteWater World), wildlife experiences and more, making it a hugely popular destination for families, thrill-seekers and visitors.

The appeal is that combination of variety and all-ages fun on a grand scale: from adrenaline-pumping coasters to gentle family rides, water-park fun and the chance to get close to native wildlife (including koalas and tigers), there's something for everyone across the vast park. As one of the Gold Coast's marquee attractions, it's a quintessential part of a visit to the coast.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 22,900 reviews, it's clearly a hugely popular destination. The rides and attractions open, opening hours, ticket prices and any seasonal events vary — and tickets are often cheaper booked online — so it's worth checking current details and booking ahead before you go, particularly during school holidays and peak periods, while looking forward to a big day out at Dreamworld.
