The Concept

Recommended for Primary and Secondary school students

Students will not only experience the thrills and delights of the Gold Coast theme parks, but also participate in a variety of education programs designed to learn about environment, conservation and animal behaviours (Primary)  and assist students in career choices and tertiary study (Secondary). Thousands of students get hands-on every year through the extensive range of education programs available at the Gold Coast Theme Parks. Teachers can select from a range of self-guided education programs and classroom style talks, and tailor to suit the needs of their group.

This itinerary is based on return coach travel. Please contact us if you prefer return flights from your nearest capital city.
