Family-Friendly Fun
If you’re travelling with kids, the Gold Coast is brimming with options:

- Broadwater Parklands – A huge playground, splash zone, and open green space for picnics or BBQs.
- Theme Parks – Movie World, Dreamworld, and Sea World are quieter at this time of year, meaning shorter queues for the rides.
