We enjoyed our time in Castaway Bay and returned a couple of times. The Battle Boats were a lot of fun - the kids went on the boats and enjoyed spraying other boats with their cannons, and I stayed on the edge and squirted the boats as they went past. We all played and climbed on the Sky Fortress - lots of fun, and a little challenging for those scared of heights. It's a big adventure playground and kids (and adults) could easily spend a lot of time exploring it. We put our names down for the Sky Climb (as only so many people can go on it at a time) and hung around the precinct until it was our time to climb - it was a pleasant wait, watching the Battle Boats and water play, and eating lunch at one of the many tables, climbing on the Sky Fortress when we wanted a bit of activity. There are food and drink venues and toilets there as well. The Sky Climb was fun although definitely more challenging - we all clipped in to harnesses and climbed up to the first level. From there it's possible to go in any direction you like and just do the activity at a level you are comfortable with. Some of the kids went up to the 2nd or 3rd level, some of us stayed down on the first level and walked across the balancing apparatus. It was a lot of fun and felt very safe.

We loved this little set up for our two and four year old. Finally some rides that suit them! We spent about 40 minutes there going in each of the smaller rides and the train ride and our children loved it. Plus it’s run by a vietnam vet and his wife and you can’t beat that! ????

Tops. Crikey!, expect a full range of emotions to play out inside thirty seconds. An eye bulging 4g launch followed by weightless certain death free fall toward the ground from 200ft, only to be saved by the bungy cables. Bit exy on the first go but return visits are well discounted. Buy the video, the contorted faces and screams will pull laughs for years.

My 14 and 12 year old and their two friends all loved their time at the Aqua park attached to the GC Wake park. (I had a great time too). It was a rainy day, but they loved it, they slipped, slid, jumped, climbed and swung. Afterwards we ate tasty hot food. The staff were friendly and efficient, the bathrooms were clean and tidy, parking was easy, and I would go back again.

After visiting Disney land in LA and universal studios in Orlando last year and experiences with the wait times that are extremely long To the point where it’s not fun waiting. We purchased a 3 day ticket at dreamworld and went there every day. The staff are super friendly and to tell the truth friendlier than the other 2 I mentioned. My family had so much fun what Gem of a place Dreamworld is Tiger island was magnificent And the tower of terror 2 is a Blast Noticed new rides opening soon will definitely return while passing though the Goldcoast On my next trip to Noosa.
