Theme Park Passes and Ticket Options

I often get asked about the different passes and options and it is quite complex. For more information check out Theme Park Passes and Tickets for a run down on the different options.

There are five main theme parks on the Gold Coast, however there are 3 other major attractions of note:

  1. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, an Australian wildlife park with shows, demonstrations and the opportunity to feed and cuddle some native Australian animals, in Currumbin Gold Coast. Yanguwah Show and Wildnight Adventure at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is highly recommended, you get to see the animals at night, the kids and adults will love it. Well worth a visit if you have time.

  2. Australian Outback Spectacular, a dinner show dramatically showcasing Australian Outback life, in Oxenford Gold Coast between MovieWorld and Wet n Wild.

  3. Paradise Country, in Oxenford Gold Coast, behind MovieWorld and Australian Outback Spectacular.

On the rest of this page, you'll get an overview of these theme parks and attractions. It's a tough decision: Which one to visit first!

I have grouped the Gold Coast theme parks so you can see the relationship and then see how you can save money by buying multiple park or visit passes for each group.

Don't forget to check out Gold Coast theme park map to see where they are all located - often a great way to help work out where to stay!

DreamWorld & WhiteWater World

Why do I put these two theme parks together? Well, they are related and they are next door to each other!

DreamWorld Gold Coast is a very large theme parkl. As well as rides, attractions and the extreme thrill rides, it is famous for its tigers!

WhiteWater World is a new addition and is a water park situated adjacent to DreamWorld. There are some similar rides to Wet n Wild, but it is a smaller water park overall.

Passes can be purchased for either a day entry into each of the parks or a World Pass that enables you to go into both DreamWorld and WhiteWater World for either a day or two days. They also have a family deal and Holiday Pass for visitors which is great value if you want to go to both parks and visit more than once. Unlimited entry for 21 days to both Worlds. Check them out through the link below.

Buy tickets and passes directly from DreamWorld website.

MovieWorld, Sea World & Wet n Wild Water Park

Warner Brothers Movie World, Sea World and Wet n Wild are all owned by the same group, so if you are planning on visiting more than one of these three Gold Coast theme parks, it is well worth checking out the passes and options.

At MovieWorld you will find fun rides and attractions based around movie themes and characters. The kids love this theme park and it is suitable all year round.

SeaWorld is particularly popular with the younger children, but has something for everyone. The rides aren't quite as thrilling as Movie World or Dreamworld, but you can enjoy watching dolphins, sharks, polar bears and lots more.

Wet n Wild is a huge water fun park, which definitely caters for all ages. Buccaneer Bay is great for the younger children and a good place to base yourself whilst the older thrill seekers head to rides with names like Kamikaze and Black Hole! Water is heated in winter and the park is not that busy at during the cooler (by cooler I mean cooler for us soft Gold Coasters) months!

You can purchase individual theme park tickets or family passes for each theme park, or passes that cover multiple parks.

New Super Theme Park Pass for Gold Coast theme parks.Super Pass is the best value for visitors wanting to go to all 3 theme parks. It gives you unlimited entry for 28 days to 3 Gold Coast Theme parks - Warner Bros. Movie World, Sea World and Wet n Wild Water World all year round. Visit any of the three theme parks, any day as many times as you like for 28 days. This is a great pass for those visiting for just a short time, but wanting to enjoy all the parks. Adult, Pensioner (Australia and NZ only) and Child (3 to 13 years inclusive) passes available.

Escape PassEscape Pass is BACK! It offers unlimited entry to 2 parks of choice over 14 days. Visit any combination of 2 theme parks from Sea World, Warner Bros. Movie World or Wet n Wild Water World. Ticket pricing is same for adults, pensioners and children. Good value if you only want to go to two out of the three theme parks. Best value for adults wanting to go to both Sea World and Movie World would save just under $60* per adult with this pass. You will have to nominate which two parks you want to visit when you buy, so make sure you know what you want.

From time to time we do have other deals, please check deals box at the top of this page for the latest deals. The sorts of deals you would get include the National VIP Passes, however, they are only on sale for limited windows during the year, so if you want one you will need to buy them early.

The Old Fun Pass (no longer offered) used to give you a single day entry to each of the Gold Coast theme parks: Sea World, Warner Bros. Movie World and Wet n Wild Water World over 5 days.
