Paradise Country

Paradise Country is a family-focused farm and wildlife attraction in Hope Island, on the Gold Coast. The park brings together animal encounters, live presentations and hands-on activities, giving visitors several ways to build a day around Australian wildlife and farm experiences. It is also part of the wider Gold Coast theme park offering, with tickets available as single-day access, multi-day and multi-park passes, and annual passes.

The attraction list includes Koala Breakfast, koala encounters and meet-and-greets, as well as opportunities to see marmoset monkeys, meerkats and dingoes. The Wildlife Walkabout offers another way to explore the park’s animals, while Gold Panning, Opal Mining and Pony Rides add activities beyond animal viewing. Some experiences have a distinctly Australian farm character, including Shaun’s Aussie Adventure Show, the Stock Horse Arena & Billy Tea Show and Shaun’s Tractor Ride.

For a break during the day, Farmhouse Restaurant provides a family dining option with views across the farm. The website presents it as a place for a shared family meal rather than a standalone dining destination, making it a practical part of a longer visit. Shows and presentations are scheduled across the day, and the park publishes visitor information covering facilities, accessibility, shopping, location and operating details, so it is worth checking the current schedule and park information before arriving.

Paradise Country is best suited to families wanting a full day of activities, particularly those interested in animals, farm life and interactive experiences. It can also work for groups and organised outings, with the venue providing information for groups and functions. Visitors planning a longer Gold Coast break can combine the park with a Theme Parks Package that includes accommodation and entry to Sea World, Warner Bros. Movie World, Wet’n’Wild and Paradise Country during the stay. The park also supports the Save A Mate conservation campaign and is accredited for positive animal welfare by the Zoo and Aquarium Association Australasia, giving its wildlife focus a clear conservation and welfare context.
