Padlock’d Escape Rooms

Adulting is hard. If it’s been a while since you’ve smiled so hard your cheeks hurt, then a day at a theme park, an attraction or an animal encounter might be just what the doctor ordered. So let the nostalgia kick in and head to a place oozing with world renowned ‘kid cred’.

On the Gold Coast, iconic worlds built entirely for those who dare to imagine rise from the sand and sea. Only here can you be shaking hands with your favourite superhero one minute and sliding and splashing your way to wedgies and wrinkly fingers the next. Snack on fairy floss the size of your head, then try your darndest to keep it down with a spine-tingling rollercoaster ride (challenge accepted!). Flanked by sea and fringed by hinterland, ours is a nose-twitching, wing-beating and tailsplashing haven for a menagerie of creatures that will have you channelling your inner wildlife warrior in no time.

Of course, it’s not all about us adults. Your kids will love making their own memories too and will be buzzing about their visit long after they pass out on the backseat of the car on the way home. What’s not to like?

After all that daytime adventure, you may just want to relax in your room listening to the waves wash upon the shore. Or experience the Gold Coast nightlife as the city’s bars, clubs, restaurants and attractions draw locals and visitors out into the sparkling night. It’s big-city nightlife 365 nights a year, but if you want something more there is always a touring international act or football game or music festival or the like happening so you can join the carnival when events arrives in town. It’s easy to see why a Gold Coast holiday is the popular choice. Families, couples, business delegates and solo travelers will all find an experience to suit their needs and budget on the Gold Coast. We all love the big theme parks and sunny beaches, but many people forget about all of the other attractions that makes the Gold Coast such a well-rounded and varied holiday destination. Today, underrated Gold Coast attractions such as winery tours, walking trails, Broadwater cruises and mountain drives are just as popular as the theme parks and beaches.
