Surfers Paradise
You definitely have to check out the Surfers Paradise. Let this be your introduction to the Gold Coast.

You will be able to do kite surfing here as well. Also 2018 shall see Commonwealth Games taking place right here on Surfers Paradise. Intrigued?!
Sea World
It might sound like a thing children would love. But trust us its farther from truth. University students will enjoy this just as much, watching the dolphins dance to music and the young polar bear Henry is the one to look out for. There is sea lion fish detective show too which is a must watch.
Warner Bros. Movie World
It’s a Disney Land with another twist. Meet Batman here along with his sidekick Robin. You can also find the cast of Looney Toons here. Enough to take you down the memory lane? Now when you are done, there are plenty of terrifying and daring rides that you must take to seal the day off.
Wet ‘N’ Wild
Now if you are one of those adrenaline junkies then Wet ‘N’ Wild should be on your list. Imagine extreme water rides and what’s best it is all year-round. They are nice enough to have heated water so that you do not lose out on the fun in winters. Oh! and our Inside Tip: Since its owned by the same company that owns Movieworld and Seaworld you can get a 3 Park deal.
Currumbin Zoo
Gold Coast is not only for extreme sports and activities, spend a day in leisure with your friends at the Currumbin Zoo. You will witness so many diverse wildlife in their natural habitat. Get a selfie with a Koala or play with a Kangaroo. The variety that can be found at this zoo is unique to this continent. So we recommend you do not miss the chance.
Broadbeach Water.
Want to rub your shoulders with the likes of Justin Beiber and Snoop Dogg. Ah! we see you smiling there. Well then Broadbeach Water is the place for you. Imagine Surfers Paradise with an amped up surrounding. The place features great night life, fine dinning and clubs. This can become your go-to weekend spot after a tiring week at University, if you may please.
Mt. Tamborine.
Imagine wine tasting, long walks and waterfalls in your backdrop. All this only 45mins inland drive. Head over to Mt Tamborine to enjoy a relaxing day with your friends. Gain knowledge about wine and inhale the beauty that Gold Coast has to offer.
