πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Children aged seven to twelve get the most from a full day, accessing both thrill rides and Kidz Kingdom. Weekday school-holiday visits see five-to-ten minute waits versus longer weekend queues. Online tickets offer meaningful savings over gate prices.

β€œIt had been years since Ia had been to rainbows end so when my son said he wanted to go for his birthday I was excited and nervous! The first positive is they ahd online deals running so I scored the tickets at a discounted rate! When we arrived there were 2 people on tickets and it did take a wee while to get into the park. Once we were though, we had an awesome time. The kids highlight was what I know as "the motion master" - they revisited that one a few times. It was a weekday in the school holidays ane the lines were not too long. The only long line we waited in was the number boats which was about 40nins. Everything else was a max of 5/10min wait. We really enjoyed the panning for rocks/gems by the gold rush, as well as the log flume! A fun day out - highly recommend a visit.”

β€œAbsolutely LOVED our day at Rainbows End today. I live on the Gold Coast (aka the theme park capital of the southern hemisphere) so I didn’t have high expectations! I was quickly mistaken - it’s been 20+ years since my last visit and I was impressed by not only the cleanliness and professionalism from the staff, I was also surprised at the variety of rides. My niece and nephew (9 and 7) also had a huge choice of different ride options and loved that there were a lot that we could all go on together as a family. I think ticket prices are very well in line with what’s on offer - the super pass purchased online was the way to go! Thank you Rainbows End for a fun filled day and we will be back πŸŒˆβ€
