Accommodation
There is a long list of options when it comes to choosing somewhere to stay on the Gold Coast. There are some fantastic resorts that have great activities and family friendly options which not only keep the kids entertained, but also allow for the parents to get some well earned rest and recuperation. If resorts aren't quite what you are looking for, there are many fantastic self-contained apartments available for short term rental. By choosing an apartment, you will usually have a full kitchen to cook in (should you wish to save some money), a decent sized living area and full bedrooms so everyone has their own space.
Activities and Entertainment
If it's theme parks you want, the Gold Coast is the best place to go in Australia! Warner Brothers is your family's chance to experience that little bit of Hollywood on Australian soil, while Sea World is perfect for those who love everything to do with aquatic wildlife. Speaking of water, Wet'n'Wild and White Water World are the places to go for a family who loves a bit of adrenalin or simply playing in the water. For a theme park with a bit of everything, Dreamworld offers a variety of shows, attractions and rides for every age group.
Aside from theme parks, there is a abundance of activities that the family can do together while visiting the Gold Coast. There are numerous wildlife sanctuaries dotted around the Gold Coast and they provide great interaction with some incredible creatures and is always very educational for the children of the family (and even the adults!)
Travel Agents
There are a great range of travel agents around that have access to some of the best deals on the market when it comes to vacations to the Gold Coast. But some of the even better deals can be found on the web. There are now many speciality sites that cater specifically to family holidays so that you can rest assured that your getaway will be age appropriate and will provide a lifetime of memories for both you and your family.
Always remember that the prices for vacations will be higher in school holiday time because of demand. So, be sure to plan your trip will in advance and always shop around to secure the best deal!
