Reviews of Dreamworld
Sophia Salama
Took my 7yr old grand daughter & she loved it. These rides are perfect for little ones with some for grown up kids. Kept us busy all day & we went on a Monday. For the kids rides, under 10min but for the bigger rides under 45 min. Food is very expensive though.

It's been over a decade since I've stepped foot into this theme park, and it's still as fun as I remember! We came here during school holidays and the carpark was already full by 11am. Opens at 10am. The express passes are worth it as you don't have to wait up to an hour for a ride. You'll thank me later!

Great day out. New rides and still plenty to do. Sadly though no characters for the little kids. Ice skating is a cool addition , but is an extra $15 a child to do.

The information I got is that this is the biggest park in Australia. Many games do not require a long queue to play. However, if we have experienced playing at Disney / Universal, it might feel a little old here. But the place here is quite fun, and regarding food and drinks, there is no need to worry. Parking is very large.

Family fun for everyone young and old! Great animals to see up close, yummy food options and so many things to do! The night food market from 5pm Sat was awesome!
