Cheap Things on Gold Coast for Children to do and save parents money.
Cheap things on Gold Coast for children to do is one of the first questions guests ask us. When they stay at Moorings on Cavill they want Super Cheap Things on Gold Coast for Children on holidays.
We have the best Surfers Paradise Family Accommodation and have 5 great places where the children can do cheap things on the Gold Coast.
What guest do not know are the locals tips and tricks for an affordable day out with the children . See our favourites!
- Bubble Soccer at the AIR Factory.
You’ll need to head to Burleigh Waters, an approx. 25 minute drive from your Surfers Paradise Accommodation. It will take longer via public transport, make sure you plan ahead by seeing our tips on transportation. The beauty of Bubble Soccer is how hilarious and ridiculous it is – it’s a Gold Coast activity that will leave your family laughing for years to come. You won’t even be worried about winning, you’ll be too busy focusing on remaining upright.
If you’re doubting the hilarity of this, definitely jump on to Youtube and check it out!!!
The Moorings on Cavill team definitely recommend getting the session filmed for a good old family keepsake. Show us when you get back (we want to laugh too!). For more info jump on Bubble Soccer or call us at for more information.
- Bounce Inc
This one is for the 3 year olds to the adults. This is possibly the most energy required activity you will ever encounter on the Gold Coast. Bounce Inc is a massive warehouse of approx. 1 million trampolines – give or take a few hundred thousand. Whether the littlies or us uncoordinated adults)just want to bounce and stumble around. Watch some ridiculously talented people do insane tricks, Bounce Inc is the place to be.
It’s a cheap (as little as $11 pp) and short 25 minute trip from your Surfers Paradise Accommodation. If you don’t have a car, don’t stress, check out our Transportation page to find out how to get there. Take part in the After Dark Parties, slam dunk some baskets and literally just let the kids bounce off the walls. Check out the highlights reel for some of the epic Bounce Inc moments
- Aqua Splash/ Mini Splash
Aqua Splash is adventure on the water just down the road from your Gold Coast Apartment in Surfers Paradise as it is located at Broadwater Parklands. The mini-splash zone is for the tiny tots, 1 year old and up, meaning this is a family activity that everyone can enjoy! Although there are plenty of cheap things on the Gold Coast to see and do , Moorings on Cavill believes that family days are the best days. This is why Aqua Splash makes our top 5 list.
Aqua Splash is currently closed until September, which is probably for the best because falling into the water in Winter is not fun for anyone. BUT when it re-opens, no pre-purchased tickets required!! What really is great is that tickets are super cheap, ranging from $5 – $15 per person depending on age. It won’t break the bank for the family holiday but it will definitely be worth it! Another one of the cheap things on Gold Coast for children.
Broadwater Parklands is a treasure trove of activities, there is always something happening all year round so make sure you keep an eye on our Events page to make sure you don’t miss something amazing during your visit. There is even a Giant Pillow for the kids to jump on to burn out any energy they may have left.
- Tamborine Mountain
You will see the Hinterland from your Surfers Paradise apartment at Moorings on Cavill but we strongly recommend you don’t just settle for the view – go and be a part of it! Tamborine Mountain has enough going on that you will be able to fill an entire day and probably still not see it all. It has Glow worm caves, Sky walks, Markets, the Gallery walk, wineries – the list is endless, although our Things for children on Gold Coast has included most of it this is one of the cheap things on Gold Coast for children.
There is no public transport to get up to the mountain but we have had guests vouch that it is absolutely worth hiring a car for the day. Moorings on Cavill can assist you with car hire arrangement at Reception> Please see our advice on Transportation. It is about a 50 minute drive from Surfers Paradise however a day like this doesn’t have to be expensive; pack a lunch, get a car and go.
If you’re after a more actioned packed day with many cheap things on Gold Coast for children , Thunderbird Park is also located at Tamborine Mountain. This has mini golf, tree top challenges, laser skirmish and skywalks.
- Paradise Country
This little gem is the Gold Coast Theme park that is most forgotten about cheap things on the Gold Coast. It hasn’t got all the heights and thrills that the main theme parks do. This has all things Australian and cuddly! A farm day experience is guaranteed to be a hit with the young kids or any adult that’s been in the city way too long. Located just behind Movieworld, you can organise a direct transfer there and back through Moorings on Cavill Reception. As an added bonus of staying at Moorings on Cavill, you will also have access to discounted tickets either through our website. Contact reception during your stay for things on Gold Coast for children or make sure you check this out here.
We would absolutely vote this as one of the best and overlooked family day out experiences. You’ll get great photos, memories and experiences for everyone to enjoy. There are no height restrictions or massive lines!
