Where to take my 2 year boy while holidaying on the gold coast?

Question

hi there, we are taking my 2 year old boy holidaying at the gold coast, wewould like opinions on the best and most age appropriate theme park and other attractions

Answer 1

Plenty of things to do:

Sea World is probably the most child friendly of the three "World's" (Sea, Movie and World), but here is stuff to do there at both...

Wet and Wild is a water park andperhaps something to try

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is rather family friendly and has heaps of Australian animals.  Morning and later afternoon you can feed the rainbow lorikeets (please note, lovely animals but they are bit "poopy" so don't wear really good clothes)

David Fleays (similar place) is also supposed to be good

Tamborine is nice and the Springbrook area (and the glow worms is nice too)

O'Reilly's and Binna Burra are nice.  I would probably choose O'Reilly's as it has closer and easier little walks (a tree top walk is like a 600 metre round rip from the main area)

Answer 2

You can take him anywhere you want, just don't do it during his nap time! My sister in law often takes her son to Wet and Wild in the afternoons. Keep his meal and nap times to your regular schedule as much as possible, and fill the gaps with whatever you want to do. Leave when he starts getting fed up. You know how it is with toddlers. Once they start getting tired and grumpy, there's no convincing them they aren't.  

Answer 3

I think the best Theme park would be Sea world plenty of interest there for him. Also The currumbin wildlife park, just a paddle and make some sand shapes on the beaches he would love. At Charis seafood on Marine Parade Broadwater in Labrador they feed Pelicans I think about midday there is also a couple of play grounds there and a peice of the Broadwater sectioned off for swimming so a paddle in there as well .Very busy at weekends so during the week is best.  

Answer 4

If you are staying for a while you might want to spend a day in the beautiful Gold Coast hinterland. Check out Lillydale host farm - lots of animals for the little fella to feed and play with and beautiful views and relaxation for you!

Answer 5

Wet 'n' Wild - great fun for everyone.

Movieworld - awesome if he loves certain characters, superman and batman and shrek, s****. doo etc...great loony tunes kids area

Dreamworld - great for toddlers as well, good little kids area

Seaword - fun interaction with animals if he likes animals.

Answer 6

Wet and Wild is probably the most "fun" of the theme parks, though Dream World is pretty d**n awesome too. Either of those two will make him VERY happy.

Answer 7

Go up to Springbrook on the Gold Coast Hinterland and take him to see the Mouse Houses and the Glow Worms, plus there is other little things to do like the Maze and finding your way out and the English gardens where you can have morning tea or lunch.

Answer 8

Dreamworld for the Tigers and they have rides for the little bloke also Seaworld is a good day and i believe they also have rides for kids
