There are many DreamWorld attractions to keep everyone happy.
Dreamworld rides and attractions include Wiggles World, Kids Central (formerly Nick Central), the thrill rides and the tigers!

One of the things about Dreamworld that is a bit different from the other theme parks is the polarity of people in each area.

Teenagers and thrill-seekers you will almost exclusively find them in the Ocean Parade area, in the extreme ride queues (or on the rides) or with a WorldPass and going between DW and White Water World!

The little kids will be found in Kids Central (formerly Nickelodeon Central), Tiger Island, Wiggles World and the Australian Wildlife Experience.

Dreamworld attractions and rides are usually open from 10am to 5pm (except for maintenance or other reasons), but the scheduled shows, presentations or demonstrations only run at certain times.

There are options for early entry passes so you can get in ahead of the crowds at 9am, best for the thrill seekers!

The Theme Park Map suggests itineraries for those with World Passes attending both parks:

  • Families with Youngsters
    These are all the easy rides, attractions and shows.
  • Families with kids aged 4 to 13 years
    These include some of the medium thrill rides.
  • Thrill Seekers
    Pure adrenalin what can I say!

It's hard to keep up with the new attractions at Dreamworld here's what's new:

  • April 2011 a new attraction at Dreamworld is opening in time for school holidays - White lions at Dreamworld Gold Coast. This new Dream World attraction looks like an exciting addition for those who like exotic animals!

There are a couple of different animal adventures at Dreamworld. These revolve around the native Australian animals in the Australian Wildlife Experience and the famous Tiger Island Tigers and if you are lucky tiger cubs.

Tiger Island is fascinating, I could stay here all day. In 2008 they had 5 cubs and we were lucky enough to see them not only at play with their handler, but also out in the park, which was totally incredible.

I found out later that there is a cub experience where you get to spend 30 minutes with the cubs! Obviously this is only available when there are cubs and when those cubs are small enough to do this safely!

Dreamworld Tiger Island Show. Tiger jumping between logs.

This is extremely popular and the tickets for this can only be purchased online.

You also need to buy Dreamworld Tickets for your park entry and arrive at the park at 9.30am for these.

I am going to do this next time I visit!

There are a couple of extra activities you can do with the animals. There are tiger walks and photos as well as cub experiences (when they have cubs small enough to make this safe!).

At the Australian Wildlife Experience you can have your photo taken with a koala.

During school holidays and peak visitor times there are other adventures with animals such as Sunset Safari. You will need to check with Guest Services to find out what is on and when it is on.

Ideas About Where To Stay

Dreamworld is the furthest theme park on the Gold Coast from Surfers Paradise. It is inland and there are not many options really close by.

  • Buy directly from DreamWorld Website
  • Secure booking and Payments
  • Some options limited availaiblity
  • Get latest deals direct.
More Information on DreamWorld Website

* Terms & Conditions Apply See Dreamworld Website

The closest places will be at Hope Island, Sanctuary Cove and Runaway Bay.

There is the Gold Coast Holiday Park which combines a Caravan Park and 4 star motel accommodation.

This is a popular choice with several different options for those who plan to do the theme parks as it is vey close to Wet n Wild, Movie World, Outback Spectacular, Dreamworld and Whitewater World.

Another option is Treasure Island Holiday Park at Runaway Bay.

If you stay out near the theme parks, remember you are not close to the beaches so make sure you think this through before committing to inland accommodation.
