Gold Coast Sea World

8.2
4.6/5
1k reviews
Gold Coast Sea World is a long-established marine theme park in Australia, located along the coastal area in the northern part of the Gold Coast. It combines marine animal exhibits, animal shows, and amusement rides into one park, offering both wildlife viewing and thrilling attractions. Animal encounters are the main highlight here: the penguin exhibit houses king penguins and gentoo penguins, where visitors can watch them waddle or dive into the water through viewing glass set against an icy landscape. The polar bear shores recreate the rocky coasts and pools of the Arctic summer, providing a rare chance to see polar bears in Australia. Shark Bay teems with sharks and rays, while the nearby ray reef allows hands-on interaction with rays. At seal harbor, Australian sea lions and fur seals bask on the shore or playfully chase each other in the water. The park hosts multiple daily dolphin shows and sea lion educational presentations—it's recommended to check the day's time slots upon arrival to plan your itinerary, and arrive early to secure seats for popular shows. Families with children shouldn't miss Nickelodeon Land, where animated characters like SpongeBob, Patrick Star, Dora, and PAW Patrol's Chase and Marshall meet travelers for photos. Thrill-seekers can tackle the wooden coaster Leviathan, the motorbike-style Jet Rescue coaster, and the splash-filled Storm Coaster. △ Meet your favorite animation characters △ Get close to marine life △ Experience thrilling amusement itemsMain Beach · 20.7 km from Currumbin

We went straight to the zoo after getting off the plane. We arrived quite late, but we were lucky enough to see most of the animals, including wombats, Tasmanian devils, and smiling rats. A great zoo, highly recommended. The coffee at the entrance was delicious, and feeding the parrots was also very interesting. Feeding starts at 4 PM, and even when we left at 5 PM, there were still parrots to feed.

My friends and I had a fantastic time visiting the SkyPoint Observation Deck. Everything about the experience was absolutely excellent, from the breathtaking scenery and environment to our overall enjoyment. We also felt it provided exceptional service and value for money. It’s a perfect spot to visit with friends, and we highly recommend it!

It was so much fun, much better than Tokyo DisneySea! The lines for the rides were shorter, and there were shows and interactions with manta rays. It's a shame we arrived a bit late in the morning and missed out on so many rides. The only downside was that the daily operating hours were too short. It's perfect for the whole family (the worst part is that adults aren't allowed to ride the carousel because they're tall; they can only ride in small cars, ugh).

The deepest feeling of the Gold Coast hot air balloon experience is to get up very early, but when the hot air balloon slowly lifts off to see the sunrise, it feels like everything is worth it, and the lifting process is very smooth, looking out from high altitude views are very open!

It's actually a bit difficult. It's very hard to stand on the board and keep your balance. It's also very tiring. But my child loves it so much that she strongly asked to sign up for another class the next day. She was ranked first in her favorite sport, hahahaha

Our last stop on the Gold Coast was Burleigh Heads National Park, there are several walks on this small headland that were manageable even for my older partner. After parking at the free car park at the end of Goodwin Terrace we hit the road. We walked up the hill and up a short but steep flight of stairs to a sealed sloping road with three lookouts along the way. We walked slowly as it took my partner 15 minutes to reach Tumgum Hill. There were three or four benches along the way and large rocks to sit on. With more time it would have been pleasant to walk to the beach. Parking is charged around Burleigh Heads and is restricted and charged except for the free car park near the entrance to the NP. This is a very popular destination.

An hour of tour was so relaxing. Crossing from land to water and vice versa was fascinating. Tour guides were fun and informative. Registration was quick, our tickets were already printed by staff before we arrived and didn't need any more details or IDs. The given time frame was also followed. Overall, very good!
