Opps.. not sure if too late to ask, where you get the 3 parks pass tickets online?

If you have time and intend to visit all three theme parks or even just 2 of the 3, it will be worth it.
Here is the link:

I only have time to visit one so I bought a day pass to Sea World. If not, this VIP would be ideal.

Thanks BigFoot. I did get the Combo pass deal very good pricing indeed.

We came back fm GC 3wks ago, nothing much at Sea World. Movie World is more fun for your kids.
Travelling on public transport is very convenient. You can pay cash for purchase GOcard and it is refundable for any balance value.

How old are your kids. Is movie world too kiddie for young teens.

My children are aged 13 & 14. We covered 3 worlds and they loved Movie World the best. They also like Paradise Country and Outback Spectacular..we paid adults @ kids price(on promotion)....just sharing =))

I am not upset, I am explaining my point.
Forget it, say more, then become thought to be argumentative just because I do not conform to general views. Sigh.........
And I don't conform to general views, so how?

Hi all, I agree that GC is a little of a bore for me. limited shopping and expensive due to strong aud and I wasn't into roller coasters and fun exciting rides.

But my children had great fun at the theme parks especially dream world and movie world as they haven't been to Orlando so could not compare.

Seafood was fresh catch and cheap too compared home. Driving was a breeze cos u will be driving back and forth along the Gold Coast highway and shopping for children toys are reasonably priced. Basically is a rather easy and relaxing holiday where children can enjoy and little hassle for parents.

Everybody travel differently n has different preferences. Read witha pinch of salt, then make your own decisions based on your own preferences/budget. The needs n preferences of your travel companions may be different as well.


Come la. Share your experiences n ask your questions. I’m sure the rest of us will benefit.

Chill.

Better to buy Theme parks tickets online or buy there better? You got promo when you bought there?

Just came back from GC. Had a great time with kids 9,8,5. Only went for sea world cos dont want kids to think that hols is all about theme parks. Went for other activities as well. Crabbing cruise was great! Kids enjoyed tropical fruit world too. Point danger had great scenery n kids also enjoyed the waves.overall agreat trip!
