If, so do they get a pensioner discount?

I totally understand where this question is coming from! I am not a pensioner, but I rarely go on the rides myself.

Unfortunately, everyone who enters the theme parks on the Gold Coast (Dreamworld, Movieworld, SeaWorld, Wet n Wild and Whitewater World) has to pay for an entry ticket.

Good news is there are pensioner prices for Gold Coast theme park tickets, as long as you fit the criteria. Generally, if you are an Australian or NZ pensioner and can show your card, you will get the pensioner price. Each of the theme parks have their own policies, so you would need to check the fine print, but that is a the general rule of thumb.

The main reason for this is that once you enter the theme park, you don't show your tickets again to go on rides - so there would be no way of telling who had paid to ride and who had not. Also, the theme parks don't just have rides, they have other attractions, shows and exhibits that you can enjoy!

I am 70 years old I have hack a heart condition so I can not walk around far and I can not go on rides but I would like to take my grandchildren and watch them I would not mind paying a reasonable amount but I do feel 149 is. A lot to just sit and watch so I can take my grand children and sea world is unreasonable

I wish I had a say in this. Unfortunately, the theme parks create these terms and conditions. Frustrating, I totally understand. I hope you find a solution or take your business elsewhere and enjoy another part of the Gold Coast. Regard, Annie :-D

Annie's Answer
Yes, pensioners have to pay to go into the theme parks. This is a great suggestion that would best be made directly to the theme parks - I am just an informational website. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment.
