Dreamworld is located on the Gold Coast of Australia, and the park is divided into multiple themed areas, covering a variety of experiences such as thrilling rides, wildlife encounters, and children's play areas. Riverside Town is one of the park's newer themed areas, set against a jungle adventure storyline. Its centerpiece attraction, the Jungle Rush roller coaster, features a unique tilting triple-turn design, weaving through ancient temples and jungle scenery; Murrissippi Motors is a sightseeing drive suitable for the whole family, passing ancient ruins and hidden treasures along the way. Main Street is the heart of the park, home to attractions such as the Steel Taipan roller coaster, the high-altitude flying ride Dreamworld Flyer, and the immersive flying experience Sky Voyager. Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland is designed especially for children, themed around classic characters from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's children's channel, and features rides such as The Wiggles Big Red Boat roller coaster and the Bananas in Pyjamas carousel, with regular live performances at the Dreamworld Theatre. Tiger Island is home to Sumatran tigers and Bengal tigers, where visitors can observe the tigers almost face to face through close-up viewing passages and watch them swim gracefully underwater from the splash pool. The WILD wildlife world area, created in partnership with Australian Geographic, is the park's native animal exhibit area, where visitors can hold koalas, touch dingoes, and observe crocodiles up close, and also experience "Our Country," a panoramic film experience that presents Australia's natural scenery with an ultra-large screen and surround sound. The ocean cruise area is themed around Gold Coast surfing culture and features thrilling rides such as The Gold Coaster roller coaster and King Claw.

Gold Coast Sea World is a long-established marine theme park in Australia, located in the northern part of the Gold Coast. It combines marine animal exhibits, animal shows, and mechanical rides within a single park, so visitors can see animals and watch performances as well as enjoy thrilling attractions. Seeing animals is the main draw here: the penguin exhibit is home to king penguins and gentoo penguins, and through the viewing glass set against an icy landscape, visitors can watch them waddle about or dive into the water; Polar Bear Shores recreates the rocky shores and pools of an Arctic summer and is a rare place in Australia to see polar bears in person; in Shark Bay, sharks and rays swim in schools, and at the adjacent Ray Reef visitors can touch rays by hand; at Seal Harbor, Australian sea lions and fur seals either lie on the shore basking in the sun or chase and play in the water. The park hosts multiple dolphin shows and educational sea lion presentations every day, so it is recommended to confirm the day's time slots upon entry before planning the order of your visit, and remember to secure seats early before popular shows begin. Visitors bringing children should not miss Nickelodeon Land, where animated characters from SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, Dora the Explorer, and PAW Patrol meet and take photos with visitors; those who enjoy thrills can take on the wooden roller coaster Leviathan, the motorbike-style roller coaster Jet Rescue, and the Storm Coaster, which ends with a big splash. △ Meet your favorite animated characters △ Get close to marine life △ Experience thrilling rides

Surrounded by lush greenery, the park is home to hundreds of koalas lazily lounging in eucalyptus trees, a truly adorable sight. The open lawns offer opportunities to feed gentle kangaroos up close and learn about other Australian native animals such as platypuses and wombats. The performances are well-organized and informative, combining educational content with conservation efforts. The clean and comfortable environment makes for a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a leisurely stroll and an immersive experience of Australian wildlife.

No tickets are needed; simply scan the QR code to enter the park, which is significantly cheaper than buying tickets on the official website. Most rides have no queues, making for an extremely enjoyable experience. Even the most popular roller coasters only have queues of about 20 minutes. Transportation is convenient; take the Surfers Paradise light rail to the northernmost station and then transfer to a bus; the entire journey takes only one hour.

The rides and attractions are good. However, most of the rides got only one staff operating the process. Even though not many people were queuing (maybe around 30), we had to wait for at least 30 mins or more. Therefore we didn’t have enough time to play.

Be sure to catch:Sheep Shearing: Watch a skilled shearer demonstrate this classic Australian farm task. It's often a highlight, and you might even get to feel the wool .

The winery has a beautiful scenery, participated in the wine tasting guide, which was led by Chinese staff. The tour includes visiting wine cellars and factories. During the tour, the history of wine making and the winemaker's studio were also introduced. After the tour, the winemaker returned to the market to taste six different styles of wine and learned a lot of knowledge about wine appreciation. The meal was in Tuscan Terrace, the Italian restaurant in the winery. The weather was good that day, so we ate out of doors. The environment was good and the food was delicious.

It was so much fun, much better than Tokyo DisneySea! The lines for the rides were shorter, and there were shows and interactions with manta rays. It's a shame we arrived a bit late in the morning and missed out on so many rides. The only downside was that the daily operating hours were too short. It's perfect for the whole family (the worst part is that adults aren't allowed to ride the carousel because they're tall; they can only ride in small cars, ugh).

Climbing the Story Bridge is a unique memory for children in Brisbane. Traveling is a great way to broaden children's horizons. During the journey, children can develop self-care skills, the ability to respond in emergencies, and the ability to empathize with fellow travelers.
