Best Things to Do in Gold Coast, with kids

Go Ballooning--Gold Coast Hot Air Balloon is 63% Kids-Friendly

Children 3-12 may fly at full price and enjoy gentle scenery, yet burner noise, 4 am wake-up, lack of toilets or entertainment in basket, and no child discounts reduce overall family convenience.

Recommended visit duration: 1–2 hours

Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre is 63% Kids-Friendly

Children are admitted, can enter expos like Supanova and run on extensive lawns, and parents have a dedicated room, but there are no rides, playgrounds or daily programs to keep them engaged.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Gold Coast Skydive is 27% Kids-Friendly

Children up to 12 cannot skydive; they can only watch from Kirra Beach and there is no playground or child program, while aircraft noise and long waits risk boredom and discomfort.

Dracula's Cabaret is 8% Kids-Friendly

The venue enforces an MA15+ entry rule; children up to 12 are refused admission, so families with kids cannot enter under any circumstance.
