Theme Park Combo Pass
If you’re planning to visit more than one of the theme parks, consider purchasing a theme park combo pass. A VIP Magic Pass will get you three for the price of one for $109.99, while a Super Pass awards you 28 days of unlimited fun at Movie World, Sea World and Wet’n’Wild. For the extra keen, there is a Discovery Passport that grants you 12 months’ unlimited entry to the Big 3 for $149.99.
When not to visit
The Goldie doesn’t really have an off season, but some dates are certainly busier than others. Steer clear of the crowds and avoid planning your holiday during Schoolies Week (late November to early December), when high school leavers fill the hotels, beaches and streets with revelry. The Magic Millions weekend in early January is also particularly frenzied.
