Gold Coast Father's Day Experiences for the Family
Skip another tie or mug this Father's Day and give Dad a day out the whole family can share, a splashy jet boat ride, a free fall in the wind tunnel, or a wander through classic muscle cars together. Here's how to plan a Gold Coast Father's Day the kids will remember too.
Gold Coast Arro Jetboating Experience from Main Beach
The Gold Coast Arro Jetboating Experience is a 45 minute high speed ride launching straight into the Broadwater action zone, with an exclusive viewing deck for family members who'd rather watch Dad take the spins and slides. Minimum age is 5 with a minimum height of 120cm, and anyone 15 or under must travel with an adult.
iFLY Indoor Skydiving Gold Coast
The iFLY Indoor Skydiving Gold Coast package gives Dad and the kids the free fall sensation of a real skydive inside a safe, controlled glass wind tunnel, with full training and an instructor for every flyer. Flyers can be as young as 3, and the Family and Friends package suits groups of 4 or more so everyone can take a turn.
Gold Coast Hinterland Treetop Challenge
The Gold Coast Hinterland Treetop Challenge at Tamborine Mountain packs over 120 obstacles and 13 ziplines across 8 courses, giving Dad and the older kids a proper adventure through the rainforest canopy. Minimum age is 8 with a required reach of 160cm and a maximum weight of 120kg.
Gold Coast Muscle Car Museum Experience
The Gold Coast Muscle Car Museum is home to a Mad Max Interceptor replica and classic Monaros, GTs and Chargers that any car loving Dad will appreciate, plus free pinball, arcade games and a Scalextric track for the kids. A family ticket covers 2 adults and up to 4 kids under 18, making it an easy, laid back way to spend the day together.
