Family friendly

Perfect place to take the family to see and learn all about the sea animals. Once you have done that, there are plenty of rides for all sizes. They put on a great boat and water ski show which is a must-see. The dolphin show and seal show are a must also.

If the weather is warm, (doesn't matter if it is raining, still go) take the kids and family to ride all the water slides "Wet n Wild" have on to offer. If extreme rides are not what you are after, head to the wave pool or "calypso bay" for a calm river ride. On the way out finish the day off with a ice cream.

Great range of different restaurants for breakfast lunch or dinner. Beautiful beach for a walk, swimming or a surf. The nightlife is also great for nights without the kids for a cocktail or head over to the casino for a show and dinner.

If you want to check out the Gold Coast waterways, then a fun way to see it is on an Aqua Duck. A bus that is also a boat. The kids will love it.

Scared of heights, but do you want to see the view? Head to Sky-point Observation Deck where you get a 360 view 77 stories up of the Gold Coast. On a perfect day, you can see the buildings in Brisbane. It is also worth a quick ride up on the elevated which gets you up there in 42.7 seconds.

While you are on the Gold Coast, it is worth checking out Mt Tamborine. Our beautiful hinterland has so much to offer from stunning views, rainforest walks and for the daredevil in you, "the rainforest skywalk". Suspended up in the trees is a 1.5km walk. With spectacular views of the surrounding hinterland, this stable steel structure will let you explore the rainforest from above, or you can venture down and follow the signs and paths to nearby rock pools, waterfalls, a butterfly lookout and local history enclosure.

Neighbourhoods

Great open space with one of the best beaches Queensland has to offer. The day starts off with morning walkers, runners and cyclists. Head out for a morning coffee and sunrise over the ocean. Head back in the afternoon and evening for the nightlife of the many restaurants and bars to choose from. Broad Beach is a very family-friendly location to holiday.

Trams are very easy to hop on and hop off

Trams will get from Broadbeach out the front of Pacific Fair all the way up the coast to Southport then to Helensvale. Easy to hop on and hop off with plenty of stops along the way and regular trams. If you are flying in from Brisbane, you can catch the train to Helensvale, get off then jump onto a tram which can take you pretty close if not to your accommodation.
