Sea World

Getting around: On the Spit at Main Beach, reachable via the G:link light rail plus a connecting bus, or a direct drive with on-site parking.
Hours: Open most days, typically 10am–5pm; check current hours and show schedules before visiting.

A marine-life theme park combining animal shows (dolphins, seals) and rescue/rehabilitation work with a solid lineup of thrill rides, making it more varied than a standalone aquarium. It sits alongside Movie World and Dreamworld as one of the Gold Coast's three big theme parks, generally considered the pick for families interested in marine animals specifically.

Its location on the Spit also gives it water and skyline views that the other Gold Coast parks, set further inland, don't have.
