Christmas events/activities in Gold Coast Australia for small kids/families?

As the title says....will be in the Gold Coast from 14 Dec onwards and am looking for Christmas activites and events for my 3 year old. Looking for Carols By Candlelight, Santa, Christmas lights etc





Doesn{t really matter where as we will be going from Southport to


Burleigh *and across to Robina








Am interested in any other small kid activities/events.





I know most people will say just relax on the beach or swim in the pool.....but although I am Australian we don`t live there - so I want to expose my daughter to as much Australian (western) culture as possible..and meet and talk with other Australian kids.

Reply: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.
