Unleash your Inner Child on the Gold Coast

Let’s be honest guys, no one loves anything more than a weekend full of being a big kid, and the Gold Coast brings us the best big kid party playground in Australia.

We’ve done some research and spotted multiple things to add to the ultimate hit list. Follow our tips for the best action packed adventures for you to release your inner child on the Goldie this Summer!

The Big Wedgie!

No, its not what you think, we’re talking about the fun stuff, not your big brother showing your mum how durable your Bonds undies are. The Big Wedgie is a MASSIVE inflatable waterslide in the Broadwater Parklands. This monster has taken home the ‘World’s Tallest Stand-alone Inflatable Waterslide’ accolades, with the paperwork to prove it! Towering at a whopping 18.2 metres tall and 82 metres long, it even has four lanes to race your mates … be warned, wedgies may appear so choose your undies wisely. Hence the name.

GC Wake Park 

3-time World Wake Boarding Champion, Daniel Watkins, is the brain behind this big kid amusement park giving you a hands on experience of wake boarding. From beginners to experts, there is something for everyone at GC Wake Park to learn how to glide across the top of the water effortlessly like the pro’s. From wake boarding, skiing, kneeboarding or just relaxing by the lake, this is one activity you will want to get a good nights sleep for.

Ifly

So I’ll let you in on a secret, I’m terrified of heights. Yes, I work in a high-rise hotel and I’m terrified of heights, makes total sense right?

Ifly gives you a real skydiving experience without the whole jumping out of a plane part. Qualified instructors will guide you into the art of flying and, once you’re a pro, you could be doing flips of all kinds, or just embracing your inner “I’m flying, Jack” moment from Titanic.

Book all your big kid actives with our QT Concierge team today, they have all the best hook ups on the GC!
