Currumbin is open from 8 am to 5 pm every day.

Sea World

Easily accessible from local resorts the likes of Avani Broadbeach Residences, Sea World is home to a myriad of Australian marine life including stingrays, polar bears, penguins and dolphins. It mostly caters to families with very young children but if your children love animals this place should definitely be on your list.
