Gold Coast theme parks that should feature on your Australia road trip

 

Whatever your preferred kind of theme park, there’s sure to be one to suit you in the Gold Coast. With two of our car hire sites nearby, it’s super easy to get around and visit your favourites. Even better, all of the parks we’ve listed below are on the Pacific Motorway with the exception of Seaworld, which is a short drive away on the coast. If you’re flying into the Gold Coast, check out our car hire in Gold Coast Airport to make the most of your time.

Here’s a run down of our favourite theme parks and what you can expect.

Dreamworld and Whitewater World

Dreamworld has a huge selection of rides, including plenty for children. The two parks are on the same site which makes visiting easy and tickets allow entry into both. Adding a touch of luxury to the world of theme parks, Whitewater World has private cabanas for hire with a fridge, deck chairs and couches. They also have a host of experiences such as the Sunset Safari or Croc Feeding Experience if you can tear yourself away from the rides.
