Wow, all that time on the Gold Coast, aren't you lucky? Well, with a three year old in toe, I would suggest you look through the local papers when you get there and find out where Santa is going to be . He will be everywhere so don't worry you wont miss out I,m sure. Many of the BIG shopping centres will have Santa's on hand for photo's. Then you can head to Fox Movie World where it takes a whole day to get arond the place, besides the Giant Wet and Wild next door. Seaworld will be the place for the little one, all the shows and heaps to do for the kids besides all the rides. Plenty of interaction with people dressed in sea creature costumes.Don't forget, it's going to be HOT,HOT,HOT, so don't forget to slip,slop,slap and have a great holiday. There are just too many attractions to mention here, so check out Gold Coast Attractions on Google.
