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.

Skydiving on the Gold Coast is definitely the most worthwhile extreme activity here. There will be professional coaches and photographers accompanying you to skydive, which is quite safe. When you jump out of the cabin of the plane, you lose gravity and fly in the air like a bird. The feeling is really wonderful, and the beautiful scenery in front of you is really a very heroic feeling.

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).

Suitable for the whole family, if you arrive early when it opens, the queues for the three thrilling roller coasters are shorter. There are shows, and drop towers and roller coasters suitable for younger children. The ice cream in the park is delicious.
