Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary - Crocodiles, wallabies, kangaroos, koalas and almost all of the other famous Australian native animals have representatives living in the Sanctuary.
Movie World - Part theme park, part movie studio, part giant Warner Bros propaganda factory, Movie World is a theme park for those who like movies.
Wet N Wild - With nothing but amazing water slides, swimming pools and 'dive in movies', Wet 'n' Wild is probably the greatest water park in Australia, if not the world.
Sea World has a fantastic range of fish, sharks, dolphins, seals, Polar Bears and other assorted animals on display in realistically natural environments. Throw in a bunch of great rides, water slides, roller coasters and stunt shows, and Sea World emerges as perhaps the best all-round theme park on the coast.
Major events: The Gold Coast is fast becoming the regional sporting and events capital of Australia. The City hosts many national and international events such as Indy Car Racing, Schoolies and Surfing Contests.
