Which Gold Coast (Australia) theme park is best for preschoolers?

See I would actually say Dreamworld, but I haven't been to Seaworld in quite a few years. But either of the two would be great for you and your daughter. Dreamworld has lots of native australian animals to see and you can pat the kangaroos and have a photo taken with a koala. Also there are HEAPS of rides for the little ones. There is Nickelodeon Central and Wiggles World which have a lot of rides and attractions to suit little kids. There is also a train which travels through the park and a paddle steamer also. Whichever park you choose I'm sure you will have a great day.

I would say Movieworld or Seaworld. Dreamworld is mostly full of thrill rides, and not as child orientated as movieworld and seaworld in relation to kids rides, kids shops, kids shows, characters dressed up for kids (especially movieworld). I would recommend both movieworld or seaworld, they are both great fun for the kids. Wet n wild is fun but I wouldn't take a 3 year old, only because most of the rides are pair rides and you need to be a certain height.

My friend recently took his 7 year old and 3 year old girls to the Gold Coast for the 3 yr olds birthday. They had a terrible year, losing their mother in a hit and run amongst other things so he wanted some fun for the girls. He took them to Movie World and the 3 year old loved it. There are the looney tune rides for her and her sister and the shows she loved as well. She is still talking about it a month later. Be warned it will be expensive because she will want that stuffed toy.

Sea World is probably the best as it's more family oriented. In addition to some gentler rides for younger kids, there are the animals, aquariums, monorail, tourist train, cable-car, plus the shows. The dolphin and seal show is must and should keep her entertained, and the water-ski show might be interesting.
