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.

The rides and attractions are good. However, most of the rides got only one staff operating the process. Even though not many people were queuing (maybe around 30), we had to wait for at least 30 mins or more. Therefore we didn’t have enough time to play.

The main reason to visit the Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Caves is the fun and freedom of self-driving. You can see a lot of animals and plants, and it feels great to be close to nature! It is also very suitable for seeing the surrounding scenery, which is a good feeling!

The Temporin Mountain National Park in Gold Coast is located not far from the Gold Coast. The forests here are dense, and you can overlook the sea view of Gold Coast from the viewing platform on the top of the mountain. There are many wild parrots living in this national park. They are colorful and very beautiful. They fly around in the forest like little elves.

5 stars for the degree of enjoyment and 5 stars for the degree of excitement. Try to avoid weekends and holidays, as the queues under the sun are too long. If you go in the morning, it is recommended to grab a good position in the surfing pool after arriving. There is a row of lounge chairs on the shore.

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).
