The theme parks near Brisbane are actually located in the Gold Coast. There are 3 main theme parks:

Sea World @ Main Beach

(60kms, 40 to 60 mins by car, closest rail station Helensvale)

WhiteWater World @ Coomera

(55kms, 40 to 60 mins by car, closest rail station Coomera)

The best value deals are usually found in combo, multipark or multi-visit tickets or passes, especially when you want to visit more than one of the theme parks near Brisbane.

Many visitors from Brisbane select just one of the theme parks and visit for a day – and there are some great one day packages including transfers.

If you have the time and can travel to them easily visiting more than one of the theme parks, opens up lots of options for saving money. If you have the time to visit more than one of the theme parks then select one theme park passes or combo tickets.

A common question is: Can I buy a pass for all the Theme Parks?

Sadly, the answer is: No, you cannot buy a pass that gets you access to all 5.

However, there are combo passes to get you access to 2 or 3 of the theme parks for various lengths of time. Combinations that you can get a single pass to cover are:

MovieWorld, Sea World and Wet n Wild
OR…
Dreamworld and WhiteWater World combinations

General Notes:

Deals, Specials, Packages & Offers are available to Australian & overseas visitors (unless stated otherwise).

Pensioner prices are usually for Australia & New Zealand pensioners only and require id.

Children are 3 to 13 years. 14 and over require an adult ticket. Under 3s are free.

Some rides and activities within the theme parks are not suitable for everyone, some have weight and height restrictions – please check to avoid disappointment.

Some theme park attractions are pay per use, animal adventures are extra and must be booked separately.

Many of these deals not available at the theme park gates.

In fact, purchasing at the gates can often be much more expensive.

I recommend that you purchase passes online before your visit.

You will need to be able to print out your vouchers.

At the theme parks you can then use the express entry by scanning the barcode on the voucher.

Booking online, you will often save money rather than paying higher prices at the gate, faster entry AND there are no credit card fees or booking fees through our ticket desk.

On this page, I try to explain the different passes and options and give suggestions when to use each type.

If you get really confused you can always contact me directly to ask your specific question.

Disclaimer: Please note that prices of passes are approximate and can change without notice. Whilst I try to keep this page up to date sometimes these changes occur before I have time to update them or there are short term sales on certain tickets and passes. Please bear this in mind when purchasing – the links on this page will direct you to the current deals and offers.

Note: If you purchase directly from the theme park websites they may charge you booking fees and credit card fees on top of the price of the tickets and passes. Also check eligiblity for Pensioner and Student tickets before purchasing.

Individual One Day Admission Tickets to Theme Parks Near Brisbane

If you are planning to visit only one of the theme parks near Brisbane (or one from each group – see above) AND visit them only once, then individual tickets may be the most cost effective option for you.

Often the Village Roadshow Theme Parks (Sea World, Movie World and Wet n Wild) there is very little difference between the price of an individual ticket and the cheapest multi park option (see the Best of Box above for latest deals).

From time to time there are special short-term deals for single entry. When those are available you can find more details in the \”Best Of..\” Box at the top of this page.

Don\’t forget, if you plan to visit more than one or more than one time, then the combo passes such as 3 For 3 Pass, VIP Passes, 7 or 21 Day Holiday Fun Passes or 3, 7 or 21 Holiday World Pass are often much better value.

Here are the options for one day tickets to the theme parks near Brisbane which include transfers from Brisbane City Hotels:

The following combination (combo) deals are the most popular deals for visitors who stay in Brisbane or Gold Coast for several days, those who are driving themselves or those who want to visit at least two of the theme parks near Brisbane. Some are multi-park and some are both multi-park and multi-visit. It\’s best to decide what you want to do and which theme parks you want to visit and if you would like to visit more than once.

For visitors staying for a week or more or those visiting with their own car, or hiring a car, these options are great value. For those who need transport to the parks, you will need to consider the time to get to the parks, and the extra cost of transportation.

Wrapping Up About Theme Parks Near Brisbane

I\’ve tried to cover the most useful options for visitors to Brisbane. It does get confusing at times and because of that I am happy if you are confused, or need assistance for you to contact me directly to ask your specific question.

Below are just a few closing reminders when choosing theme park tickets.

Theme parks near Brisbane have certain terms and conditions to look out for. For example, age range of children is from 3 years to 13 years. Whilst, you may consider your 14 year old to be a child, at the theme parks you will need to purchase a full Adult ticket. So don\’t forget children aged 14 and over are Adults prices at the theme parks!

Pensioners are usually limited to those who are card holding Australian or New Zealand pensioners or meet other criteria which differ from park to park. Again, it pays to check the fine print.

When budgeting or planning your trip it is important to take these things into consideration and to check the terms and conditions of any theme park passes that you might purchase.

I hope that was all useful, however, if you are at all confused or need more assistance in planning your activities or itinerary, just contact me and I\’ll try to help you out.
