The big names like Australia Zoo and Sea Life Mooloolaba aren't the only family-friendly attractions in this Queensland hotspot.

Inland from the beautiful beaches, this amusement park is a fun alternative to sand and surf. You'll find everything here from water-play parks to mini golf courses; roller coasters to ferris wheels; a horror-themed maze and an adventure "illusionarium". The grown-ups will appreciate a visit to The Pub, a family-friendly local with daily food specials, live music and an on-site bottle shop. The park also has regular special events — coming up are August Tiny Tots, with special toddler-friendly activities; and a Halloween "FestEvil" — two spooky-themed weekends with mazes, entertainment, live music, a disco, and trick or treating.
