Hi We are travelling in the June holiday with my two teenager boys. We have 3 free days, beside the usual attraction is there any other places we can go? We are going to the usual place like movieworld, crab cruise, harbour town outlet, seaworld theme park, abalone world and winery.

This is the first time I saw abalone world in GC. Will be interested to give it a try. Can you please share more details.

Thanks in advance

i do know they are different company but not sure are they subsidiaries of the other.

With 3.5 days, you got to consider the theme parks to go. water theme parks think you can forget about it since it be cold. So left those warner bros, seaworld, paradise country. Each theme park is about a day.

I use this for info

ah yes Harbourtown. We go there on 2 separate days. lol. heard they got more factory outlets now compared to when I went there.

I prefer movieworld than dreamworld. Dreamworld is all about rides. Movieworld have more warner bros stuff for your 4yo. paradise country is near the other theme parks.

think 17 Jun you can also go harbourtown if you can finish the hotel area early.

which hotel you staying? I stayed near hard rock cafe. walk over a few streets can get a bus to all the theme parks and harbourtown. convenient.
