Wet'n'Wild Gold Coast

Last updated February 2026

Wet'n'Wild Gold Coast is a dedicated water park located at Oxenford on the northern Gold Coast, about 45 minutes south of Brisbane. The park features a large collection of water rides and attractions including wave pools, lazy rivers, tube slides, speed slides, and activity areas designed for younger children. It operates primarily during warmer months, with reduced operating days outside of peak season and school holidays. Entry prices are per person with no height minimum for the park overall, though individual rides carry their own height requirements. The park is part of the Village Roadshow Theme Parks group and combination passes with the other nearby parks are available. **What to Bring** Towels, sunscreen, and rashvests are essential given the amount of sun exposure across a full day. Thongs or sandals that can be worn to the rides are useful; lockers are available for hire on-site. A change of clothes for after the park makes the drive back more comfortable for younger children. **Best Age Range** The park works from around 3 years and up. The most intense slides are height-restricted and suit ages 10 and older. The dedicated children's areas with shallow pools and smaller water play features work well for ages 2–7. Teenagers and adults get the most from the high-throughput speed slides and wave pool. **Good to Know** The park does not operate year-round; check the website for opening dates before visiting, particularly outside school holidays. Outside food policies vary — confirm the current policy before packing a cooler bag. Lockers, towel hire, and food are all available on-site at standard attraction pricing. **Nearby** Dreamworld is approximately 5 minutes by car, and Warner Bros. Movie World is also within 10 minutes. The broader Oxenford and Coomera area has a range of fast food and family dining options near the park. **Tips From Other Parents** Arriving at opening time secures positions in the queue for the most popular slides before wait times build. Bringing your own towels and snacks reduces on-site costs significantly. Waterproof pouches for phones are useful — most slides prohibit devices but the wave pool area allows them.
