Australian Outback Spectacular for the Family
An evening with galloping stockhorses, daring stunt riders and a three course Aussie dinner makes the Australian Outback Spectacular one of the Gold Coast's most memorable family nights out. Here's what to expect, plus how to build it into a full day of Gold Coast fun.
Australian Outback Spectacular Heartland Dinner and Show
The Australian Outback Spectacular Heartland Dinner and Show brings outback rivalries to life in a live arena, with horse and quad head to head, a stockmen's relay challenge and a Pass The Hat crowd challenge between both sides of the arena. The 90 minute show includes a three course Australian BBQ dinner, drinks and a free stockman's hat to take home. Child tickets apply for ages 3 to 13, the venue is wheelchair friendly and parking is free.
Pair It With Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
Make a full day of it with Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary Tickets, where kids can hand feed kangaroos, watch the Rainbow Lorikeet feeding and catch daily shows across the wildlife park. Child tickets apply for ages 3 to 17, with infants under 2 free, and the sanctuary is wheelchair friendly with accessible pathways throughout.
Or Spend the Day at Dreamworld
The 1 Day Dreamworld Ticket covers a full day of rides and attractions for every age, from the family friendly Jungle Rush rollercoaster to Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland built specifically for small children. Daily Tiger Island talks and live entertainment round out the day before heading to the Outback Spectacular for dinner and the show that evening.
