The city of Gold Coast in the state of Queensland in Australia is one of the most fun-filled places on Earth. Attracting millions of visitors each year, the city has a myriad of attractions and has a party atmosphere going on every day of the year. One of the main reasons that people visit the town is for the myriad of fabulous Gold Coast Theme Parks that can be found in and around the city.

The first of the theme parks that should be on your list to visit is Sea World. Situated right on the edge of the city close to the sea, visitors to Sea World will find a whole host of fun things to see and do. The park is mainly a marine aquarium with the aim of educating its visitors about conservation as well as rehabilitating injured or sick marine life. Sea World also has a number of exciting, large rides available in the park as well as many smaller rides for younger children.

One of the biggest attractions of this theme park is Shark Bay, a beautiful man-made lagoon that houses some of the most feared species of shark in the world. There is a touch pool and a spacious viewing area where visitors can get up-close-and-personal with some of the most majestic creatures found under the water. In terms of exciting rides, the Viking's Revenge Log Flume and the Sea Viper rollercoaster are some firm favourites.

For an experience that is slightly different and full of fun, try the Paradise Country Theme Park.
