The HOTA Gallery is located in the HOTA Precinct at Surfers Paradise and is the largest art gallery outside of a capital city in Australia! While the HOTA Gallery may be designed to cater for international art exhibitions, families haven’t been forgotten.
The Children’s Gallery at HOTA Gallery lets little artists get hands on – you won’t find any “do not touch” signs here! The Children’s Gallery will change every few months, each time offering a variety of interactive exhibits that complement the main galleries. After visiting the Children’s Gallery, take a stroll through the other free Galleries where you’ll find a few installations that are interactive and the kids will love.
Be sure to ride the lift to the top floor and take in the Gold Coast skyline view! Fabulous 270 degree views await and there is even a guide you can use to work out what all the buildings are. If you’re looking for a bite to eat, there are a number of restaurants and cafes at the Gallery, or you can head over to the Performing Arts building and visit the Lawn Bar for casual dining.
Why not make a day of your visit and check out the rest of the HOTA Precinct – visit Evandale Lake for a swim, play in the playground, explore the Outdoor Stage and its rooftop gardens and walk over the Blue Bridge to Chevron Island. There is heaps to do on a family day out at HOTA!
