2025 Coomera Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

Sydney to Gold Coast Round Trip: Six Days, Five Nights During the school holidays, flight tickets were too expensive, so we decided to drive ourselves. The main challenge was the 9-10 hour drive between the two destinations, so we planned a one-night stopover midway. For accommodations, we chose only two places to avoid wasting time on frequent check-ins and check-outs. As for meals, we kept it simple and convenient, so we won’t elaborate on that. Day 1: Departure and Stopover at Stoney Park Early in the morning, we set off from Sydney, heading north towards the Gold Coast. Given the long drive, we decided to rest for a night at Stoney Park. Unlike bustling cities, this place is full of natural charm. We spent a peaceful night at a cozy resort surrounded by nature. Day 2: Water Activities at Stoney Park and Arrival at Gold Coast The next morning, we jumped straight into the inflatable water park activities at Stoney Park. The lake was filled with inflatable slides, diving platforms, and balance beams, providing endless fun. Everyone had a blast, and the morning was well spent. Afterward, we continued our journey north, aiming for the Gold Coast. By evening, we arrived and visited the SkyPoint Observation Deck, where we enjoyed a panoramic view of the city and its stunning coastline. The sunset over the skyscrapers and ocean was like a breathtaking painting. That night, we stayed at Ruby by Serain, a centrally located apartment with excellent facilities and views. Day 3: A Full Day at Dreamworld On the third day, we headed to one of Gold Coast’s famous theme parks, Dreamworld. It features cartoon-themed areas perfect for younger kids, and we even watched a tiger show. Though we were exhausted by the end of the day, we felt incredibly fulfilled. After dinner, we returned to Ruby by Serain to relax and enjoy the night view from the balcony. Day 4: A Day at WhiteWater World On the fourth day, we chose to visit WhiteWater World, the water park next to Dreamworld! The park offered a variety of water slides, from the leisurely lazy river to adrenaline-pumping vertical slides. We tried almost every attraction. The kids loved the water maze, while the adults enjoyed the relaxing floating pool. We returned to Ruby by Serain in the evening. Day 5: Aquaduck Experience and Departure from Gold Coast On the fifth morning, we took a ride on the famous Gold Coast "Aquaduck," an amphibious vehicle that operates on both land and water. The guide provided entertaining commentary about the city and coastal scenery. When the vehicle drove straight into the water, everyone was thrilled, as if entering a magical world. In the afternoon, we began our journey back, arriving at Stoney Park by evening for another night’s rest. Day 6: More Water Activities at Stoney Park and Return to Sydney On the final day of our trip, we enjoyed more water activities at Stoney Park. This time, we took a more relaxed approach, canoeing and snorkeling by the lake, while the kids remained enthusiastic about the inflatable facilities. After lunch, we packed up and headed back to Sydney. ～～～～ Stoney Holiday Park & Aqua Park (Accommodation & Water Sports) 📍Address: 16 Hacks Ferry Road, Telegraph Point NSW 2441, Australia ～～～～ Ruby Gold Coast by Serain (Accommodation) 📍Address: 9 Norfolk Avenue, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217, Australia ～～～～ Dreamworld & WhiteWater World Theme Parks 📍Address: 1 Dreamworld Parkway, Coomera QLD 4209, Australia 💰Cost per person: You can purchase combo tickets in advance, or if you plan to visit twice within a year, consider getting an annual pass.

Who misses going on a fun trip? I am one of those people who haven't been to an amusement park for a long time, and now Dream World has opened again. So I would like to take everyone to see Dream World amusement park in the 2022 updated version. What interesting rides are there? What are the photo spots? What angles are beautiful? It feels like we have been transported to another world. Everything is beautiful. #VisitAmusementPark #Rides

Who misses going on a fun trip? I am one of those who have not been to an amusement park for a long time. Now that Dream World has reopened, I would like to take everyone to see the Dream World amusement park in its 2022 update. What interesting rides are there? What beautiful and cool photo spots are there? 🎡 Water Fun A large water playground for children to enjoy with many rides, including slides, water tunnels, and giant water tanks that pour water down. The colors are bright and inviting. 🎄 Photopia is a super cute wonderland with a hobbit house, a knight's castle, colorful candy houses, and a flower corner where we can take pictures. Walking into this corner, it feels like we have been transported to another world. Everything is beautiful. 🌻 Giant house The front area is lined with sunflowers, and there is a spot where we can stand in the middle of the sunflower garden. 🎢 Sky Coaster is so much fun. The thrill is 7/10. It feels like we are floating in the air. When we are at the top, we can see the whole amusement park. 🌪 Hurricane This ride is also scary. It feels like we are doing somersaults in mid-air. Spinning back and forth at a height of more than 20 meters ☄️ Thunder Bird seems like a non-scary ride, but it is actually secretly scary. Walk a little further and you will find the Grand Canyon ride. This ride will get wet. Don't forget to wear a raincoat. It's a lot of fun. You can ride it with a gang of friends. 💥 Tornado is 10/10 for the thrill. It's so much fun. It's like our head is pointing down to the ground. Our body is being swung in the air. It's so aimless. When we go down, we all stagger. ☃️ Snow Town Let's take a break from the scary rides. The ticket we bought can only enter the Snow Town once. It's very cold inside. The temperature is -5 degrees. It is recommended to wear long pants because this point only provides socks, coats and boots to borrow. There is snow here and cute photo spots with bears, deer and snow houses all over the place. There is also a snow slide for us to play. The parade is every Saturday-Sunday at 3:00 p.m. and you can take a picture with the mascot. And in the area around the amusement park, there are many beautiful photo zones. Opening hours: Open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (6:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays) #Trendy #Amusement park #Amusement park #dreamworld2022 #Bangkok travel #Amusement park tour #Dreamworld

Thinking of a fun filled holiday to bring your kids or to to with friends? Head to Dreamworld in Gold Coast Australia! Normally when you buy tickets for dreamworld it comes with the white water world just next door to dreamworld which is located at Dreamworld Pkwy, Coomera QLD 4209. Dreamworld world is 2 in 1 theme park where it feature a themepark with roller coasters, water raft rides and also a zoo all together! Although dreamworld is much older as compared to movie world but in terms of size, dream world is the biggest theme park in Australia with over 40 over rides and it has a huge parking and in my opinion it feels more family orientated kind of theme park. Also, dreamworld opens the park even after hours, which allows some thrill rides and children rides to operate as well! I have always prefer dreamworld to movie world despite the fact it is an older park! #passionpassport #goldcoast #australia #themepark #fun #exciting #kidsfun #awesomepic

Dreamworld on the Gold Coast of Queensland is one of Australia's biggest theme parks. It is dedicated to the movies of DreamWorks such as Shrek and Madagascar. It is located in Coomera, just an hour or two south of Brisbane. You can drive yourself or get a train to Coomera and hop on the shuttle bus. Actually this park is only part theme park, with interesting rides, especially for kids. It is also part zoo and part open air museum. In the zoo area you will see lots of Australian native wildlife such as kangaroos and koalas. In addition there are lots of displays on traditional aboriginal life in Australia as well as dance shows. The park is open every day from 10:00 to 17:00. An adult ticket will set you back around 99 Australian dollars. Address: Dreamworld Parkway, Coomera Queensland 4209

Dreamworld is Australia’s biggest theme park, with a good balance of both ride and animal attractions. The rides have different degrees of thrill levels. There is also a focus on creating awareness on animal conservation while we got up close and personal with a whole bunch of animals around the park. The highlight of the afternoon for me was the Tiger Presentation at Tiger Island. It was super cool to see the tigers doing their thing – climbing trees, leaping through the air and diving into water – and to learn about what’s happening to tigers around the world. A ticket to Dreamworld also grants you access to WhiteWater World, a water park with its own set of rides and slides. Two theme parks for the price of one, so remember to bring your swimsuit along! My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #tripmoments #themepark #animals #goldcoast #australia

#summervacay Dreamworld is a full-on adrenaline rush and family fun zone all in one. I tackled the Big 9 thrill rides—The Giant Drop was pure terror in the best way! The park also has a wildlife section where I saw koalas, crocodiles, and even a tiger presentation. There’s a DreamWorks area for the kids, which was adorable. Lines were pretty manageable when I went mid-week. It’s definitely a full-day experience and totally worth it if you love theme parks.

such a beautiful trip through Europe

Hope Island is generally considered a good suburb on the Gold Coast, known for its peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere and access to amenities and recreational activities. It offers a resort-style living experience with well-maintained estates, green spaces, and proximity to major attractions

📍Address: Koala Trail 🕰️Business hours: 6:00-18:00 💰Average Consumption: Free There are hundreds of wild kangaroos for you to see. We arrived at 17:00 in the evening. Many kangaroos were eating grass and resting on the lawn. The sunset was really beautiful. It is said that the chance of seeing a koala is not high, but luckily we saw one 🥰 Koalas are all in the trees, so if you want to find them, you have to look up carefully. The park will close after 18:00, so you must leave before this time Wild kangaroos are on guard, try not to get too close~~

#Free on your birthday🍰🍰 Usually there are rides but I didn't take a picture of them🧚🏻♀️
