Wet'n'Wild Gold Coast
$$Australia's biggest waterpark, wave pool, speed slides, and lazy river on the Gold Coast
Cool off at Australia's largest and most iconic waterpark on the Gold Coast. Wet'n'Wild has massive water slides (including the Kamikaze and Tornado), a giant wave pool, the calming Lazy River, and Buccaneer Bay for younger kids. The Aqua Loop is a near-vertical body slide that drops you through a trapdoor. Open seasonally with peak operation in the warmer months (September to April), though some attractions operate year-round with heated water.
