Child's Life In The Gold Coast

By Miguel Gonzales

The Gold Coast is the perfect vacation spot for any family especially if you are an active family. Australia's Gold Coast is, home to a huge assortment of Theme Parks, animal sanctuaries, family cruises, tours and outdoor excitement.

If your family is adrenalin junkies then check out Dream World, which is home to the Cyclone Rollercaoster, Giant Drop and Tower of Terror. Or maybe Adrenalin Park featuring bungy jumping and the sling shot.

Perhaps your family is more inclined to enjoy water activities? Well there is something for you too. You may want to experience White Water World filled with every imaginable way to get wet and have fun doing it. Or how about Wet-N-Wild the place to be for water slides and wave pools.

Animals are always a good source of entertainment for kids and their parents so why not visit some parks and sanctuaries filled with animals and creature facts. Make your vacation a learning time for your kids. There is Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, David Fleay Wildlife Park, Sea World, Paradise Country and of course a trip to Australia wouldn't be complete without Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo. Paradise Country offers your child a chance to experience farming life. They get to feed animals, milk cows and find out what it's like to live on an active farm.

If you're an adventurous family, that's loves the outdoors such as camping, hiking, fishing and horses there are some fantastic places to go see. If you want to experience something similar to The Buffalo Bill Wild West show then check out Australian Outback Spectacular. The families who are big movie watchers may want to head over to the Warner Bros. Movie World.

For the families not interested in theme parks or those who want something different after the parks there are other fun filled things to do and try. You can take the kids and let them Build a Bear. They can design, build and stuff their very own bears and other animals. Or head to the Carrara Markets the oldest permanent markets in the area. These markets host not only shopping for the parents, but a carnival like experience for the kids with games, crafts, face painting and even a few rides.

If you are having a birthday in the family while on vacation hit the best party stop in town at Drax's for Kids. Instead of inflatable castles and clowns you get Dracula himself every Saturday for matinee performances. After Dracula has gone on his way, why not head on over to the local Haunted House and let the kids get their hearts pumping and the goose bumps popping.

For the more creative kids out there, they may enjoy a trip through Infinity. Infinity is just hopping with maze filled adventures for your little brainiac to figure out. There is of course miniature golf, go-carting, gaming world's, wax museum's and family geared cruises with whale watching and jet ski lessons. By the way don't forget the beaches. What kid doesn't want to swim in an ocean at least once right?

The action and excitement never ending the Gold Coast for everyone young and old.
