Top 5 FREE family activities on the Gold Coast

1. If you stay at Paradise Resort Gold Coast or Sea World Resort you don't have to pay to go to a water theme park, there is a water park in-house!

2. Make a splash at the Broadwater Parklands rock pool located on Marine Parade, Southport. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the tidal rock pools and water fun park, or sizzle up a storm on one of the BBQ facilities.

3. Currumbin rock pools in the Currumbin Valley are the perfect oasis to take your family for a relaxing picnic. Enjoy Queensland’s temperate climate and swim in the tranquil crystal clear mountain spring waters.

4. Build a sandcastle at one of the many picturesque beaches the Gold Coast has to offer. Broadbeach, Mermaid Beach, Miami, Nobby Beach, Currumbin Beach, Burleigh Heads and Coolangatta offer shaded park areas, kid's playgrounds and amenities, ideal for a fun family day.

5. Be one with nature at the World Heritage listed Lamington National Park, set within the Gold Coast Hinterland. Take a hike on the unique walking trails, and enjoy the breathtaking views of Australia’s largest preserved World Heritage listed subtropical rainforest.
