Rainy Day Activity Ideas for the Gold Coast
2

• It's a simple fact that rain happens even on
  the beautiful Gold Coast and even while youre on
  holiday. However, theres no need to let a little
  rain ruin your holiday plans. When theres rain
  outside, theres still plenty to do on the Gold
  Coast.

3

• For example, you could stretch your muscles
  with some indoor rock climbing, experience the
  thrill of being a race car driver, partake in the
  arts, take in a movie, or just have some good
  old-fashioned family fun.

4

• The Gold Coast has some of the best beaches,
  greenery, landmarks and wildlife in the world,
  but that doesnt mean it doesnt have some great
  indoor sites as well. So, if youre planning to
  take a holiday and dont have a backup plan for
  those rainy days, just check out the list below.

Go Climbing! Indoor Rock Climbing

• Who says you must be outdoors to rock climb?
  No one! Because, rock climbing is actually a
  well-known, fun and respectable indoor activity.
  And, thanks to the Paramount Adventure Centre,
  you can climb mountains without going outside.

6

• The centre offers 850 metres of rock climbing
  walls for both novice and advanced climbers.
  Plus, instructors are there to ensure you remain
  safe (with safety harnesses and helmets), get the
  guidance you need and have as much fun as
  possible.

7
The Thrill of Racing

• Having a simulated racing experience is a
  great way to get some excitement on a dreary,
  rainy day. It doesnt matter if youre a novice,
  moderately experienced or advanced driver, you
  can pick your course, your car and drive to your
  hearts content (sort of like a real race car
  driver).

8

• Driving centres typically have staff on hand
  to help you choose the best car for your comfort
  and skill level, and walk you through any safety
  procedures. Drivers are usually given three
  rounds practice, qualifying and final round.

9
Partake in the Arts

• The arts are alive, well and apparently
  abundant on the Gold Coast. When the rain has you
  down, an artistic atmosphere might be just what
  you need to boost your spirits. All youll have
  to do is check out a Gold Coast art facility
  particularly, the Arts Centre Gold Coast.

10

• The Arts Centre Gold Coast offers two cinemas,
  an Arts Theatre, a café and a comedy club (The
  Basement). This means you can catch a movie,
  enjoy an art exhibit with a cup of coffee or a
  nice pastry in your hand or be entertained by
  some knee-slapping jokes.

11

• Not to mention its fun for the entire family,
  as theres a youth program with performing arts
  and art exhibits for kids.

12
Old-fashioned Family Fun

• Theres plenty for the family to do on the
  Gold Coastinside or outside. For example, you
  could take your family bowling, play inside
  miniature golf, go-kart racing, go to the arcade,
  play Dodgems, Laser Tag and other games, hang out
  at a cool museum or haunted house, see a movie or
  safely explore nature by visiting the wildlife
  sanctuary.

13

• Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the
  most popular Gold Coast tourist attractions. Its
  dedicated to preserving Australias natural,
  historic and indigenous culture and wildlife.
  Native animals are kept in their natural
  rainforest and bushland environments, which is
  beneficial for them and exciting for visitors.

14

• Youll get to enjoy the sight of animals in
  their natural habitat without having to be in the
  natural habitat yourself. Besides that, you can
  zipline through the trees, feed the crocodiles,
  learn about the aboriginal culture through dance
  and storytelling, go on a Segway safari or cuddle
  a koala.

15

• There are so many activities there, just like
  there are so many other Gold Coast activities
  rain or shine.
