We usually buy the tickets on the Gold Coast at the info kiosk in Cavill Ave.
There are lots of discount counters offering cheaper tickets around town, but I get them from the information kiosk.
We used to stay at Turtle Beach Resort the kids loved it.
We stay at the Mykonos apartments so we can still take the kids to a couple of the theme parks.
I was in Surfers Paradise during August and on the back of the supermarket coupons was a $45 adult pass to Dreamworld.
If you buy a Dreamworld ticket inside, there is a little office you can go to, you pay $10 so you can come back.
You could get unlimited entry to Dreamworld and Whitewater World with an annual pass for $99 on sale.
Dreamworld and White Water World were our all time favourites, crowds were good.
I found sea world a huge disappointment, and Dreamworld / Movieworld were ok.
I have been doing some jet skiing a lot more fun than the theme parks.
If you want to find things to do go to mariners cove; it's just after the roundabout on Seaworld drive.
At Seaworld ticketing office plenty of brochures on things to do.
I bought my tickets online I don't think it makes a difference, you can get them anywhere really, in Surfers Paradise.
Take the surf side bus It is cheaper to get tickets from the bus driver.
