ABC Kids World, Children's amusement park in Gold Coast, Australia
Description
ABC Kids World was an amusement park on the Gold Coast designed for young children across eight separate attractions. The venue featured both outdoor play areas and indoor activity centers specifically built for the youngest visitors.
History
The park initially opened in 2005 as Wiggles World before being redesigned and rebranded. This 2015 transformation expanded its focus to feature a wider range of popular Australian children's television programs.
Culture
Children encountered characters from Australian television shows including Bananas in Pyjamas and Play School through daily performances. These figures were familiar to generations of young viewers and shaped their experience of the park.
Practical
Visitors could purchase express passes to reduce waiting times, and the facility offered accessibility features for guests with disabilities. Free parking was available and the grounds were easy to navigate, even with young children and strollers.
Did you know?
The site was built on the former grounds of a park called Gum Tree Gully, maintaining the original concept of nature-based recreation. Its location on the Gold Coast made it a popular day trip destination for families from across the state.
