This one is for the dino lovers!! We haven't had m This one is for the dino lovers!! We haven't had many new parks on the Gold Coast recently, so we headed a little over the border to @logancity.council and found Riverdale Park in Meadowbrook, just a short drive down the Logan Motorway and well worth the trip! Packed with dinosaur themed climbing structures, huge play towers and plenty of dino details, the kids will love this park. My boys loved it here and we easily spent 1.5hrs playing. Toilets are just steps away too! The Parklands are huge, with heaps of green space, bbqs, picnic tables, exercise equipment and a lake. We visited on a week day so it was quiet, but I'd expect it gets busy on weekends with parties because this is an ideal spot. If you're heading north to @exploreloganqld, absolutely add this one to your list. Very easy access and heaps of parking.

It's perfect for groups of all sizes & occasions. We were treated to a range of gyoza and seasonal greens to get us started, then tasted the most delicious cauliflower karrage, Beef tataki and rice, and finished it all off with lamb ribs and miso corn ribs. You’ll leave feeling like a sumo wrestler, the food is that good! We absolutely loved sampling the range of sake and plum wine inspired cocktails too. @harajukugyoza is open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week at @theoasisbroadbeach. [Invited]
Do your kids love slides? Then this playground is Do your kids love slides? Then this playground is for them!! We revisited Deodar Park in Burleigh Waters the other day and it still packs a punch! Shade covered, this small playground packs a lot in, with activities at every turn suitable for a range of ages. Climbing opportunities, a flying fox, interactive panels, swings, a see saw, balance rope and tunnels – the kids will have so much fun. There is a large grassed area beside which allows for dogs off leash, as well as a basket ball court. Alongside the playground is a fenced BMX pump track – during the week this is perfect for little ones to have a go, but on weekends it does get very busy and is more suited to older children who are more confident riders. The park has a few picnic tables and a drinking fountain, but unfortunately there are no toilet facilities.

Looking for a fun and different rainy day or schoo Looking for a fun and different rainy day or school holiday activity? Slide on your glasses and step into the future of wildlife adventures at @hologramzoo_surfersparadise! Located at Surfers Paradise, here you can choose from three different holographic Wildlife Tours in Asia, Africa or Australia. For the dino lovers, there is also a Dinosaur Discovery tour you can do! At @hologramzoo_surfersparadise, all of the animals are made out of laser light. They look real and act alive, but you can put your hand straight through them. You’ll walk through different screens and interact with holographic animals while learning about their behaviours and habitats. If you’ve got little ones be sure to ask staff about any potential jump scares, just in case! Each wildlife tour takes about 30 minutes to do, and then you can spend some time snapping pictures in the greenscreen photobooth at the end of your visit. Make sure to add the @hologramzoo_surfersparadise to your school holiday bucket list, or keep it up your sleeve for the next rainy weekend! [Invited]
The playground at Pat Fagan Park at Rainbow Bay ha The playground at Pat Fagan Park at Rainbow Bay has now opened! Replacing the swings that have been there for many years, this vibrant new playground is inspired by our surf lifesavers and designed to let the kids act out their surf lifesaving dreams! With a three storey Surf Rescue Tower, dune buggy and a surf shop, there is plenty here to play with. While the mega slide might be a bit much for the little ones, there is also a small slide, swings, and the tower is easily accessible with a staircase as well as rock climbing wall and net tunnel. The old swings haven't been completely lost - a new set of swings with basket and parent & child swing are also great additions. A couple of things to be mindful of: the playground has astroturf under foot. Today on a sunny (almost) winter's day, it was tolerable to walk on barefoot. I will be curious to see how this goes in the peak of summer, and whether it becomes too hot - so be aware! Also, this park is located right on Marine Parade (at the intersection with Ward Street). It does feel a bit too close for comfort, and the only divider is a sandstone block retaining wall (I've captured a bit of this in my reel). I'd really like to see a fence along the roadside of the playground, just to ensure the safety of everyone. Hopefully this might be a future addition if feedback from the community is the same. The always popular question, yes, there are toilets! About a 100m walk you'll find a full toilet block. Also, pack the swimmers and hit up the beach while you're there. Street parking is available, but limited, especially on weekends.
