Gold Coast Attractions
The most cost effective way to visit the parks is to pre-book one of the passes shown on this page. If you plan to visit all of the parks, then the hire of a Gold Coast car might be a good option, especially for family groups where there will be considerable outlay for park transfer costs. |
