Finally, it’s possible to have kid-free time on family holidays with these fantastic kids clubs on the Gold Coast. Parents need not feel guilty as award-winning facilities with carefully planned activities and new friends have kids raring to go. See our top picks for the ultimate kids clubs across Australia’s favourite playground below.
We guarantee the kids will not want to leave the recently refurbished Paradise Resort once they discover the lagoon pool and spa, two water parks (slides included), cannons, giant tipping bucket, laser tag, indoor jungle gym, games arcade and ice rink.
Most accommodation packages include a complimentary four-hour session per child (per day) to the Zone 4 Kids Club, so parents can enjoy uninterrupted time together, inside or outside the Surfers Paradise resort. Additional sessions are available for around $40 per child.
The kids club offers seven themed play spaces for kids aged 3-12 years. Pirate treasure hunts, face painting, Olympic challenges and go-kart races are some of the activities on offer. For the little ones, aged 0-2 years, a separate crèche offers infant play that includes a Bubs Disco and Wiggly Safari. Definitely one of the best kids clubs on the Gold Coast!

The club is open every day from 5.30pm to 9.30pm. Full evening Kids Club sessions include dinner and activities. Parents can enjoy Lobby Bar cocktail specials, the 50 metre lagoon pool and 12 seater heated spa or take a well-deserved date night outside of the resort.
