- Bobcat18793Denver, CO225 contributionsWe weren’t sure we wanted to spend the money ($60 AUD for two adults, views only) but it was worth it. Stunning views from every angle! We went around 10:30am on a Saturday and it wasn’t too busy, more people coming down than going up the express elevator. Recommend!Written 11 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Flappers P35 contributionsMy daughter (12yo) was so excited for this ride. We went to check it out and Nicole at the service desk really sold us on it. She was so friendly supportive and gave us the low down of best times to come to avoid any queues as it is schoolies so night is busier. And I am so glad she did! My daughter and husband loved it. We had zero wait times, the dude sending them flying was hilarious and great with the customers too! Thrilling and fun, we will definately ride again!Written 25 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Darren DBrisbane, Australia275 contributionsMacintosh Island Park is a wonderful oasis of a park close to Main Beach, Narrowneck and Surfers Paradise. With plenty of shade amongst the trees, there is a lake, plenty of birdlife (such as peacocks), a play area, picnic tables, all in a peaceful and tranquil location just a short walk from the hustle and bustle of Main Beach and Surfers Paradise. A wonderful place to escape the crowds for an hour or two.Written 3 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Has a slingshot, vomitron and mini golf plus a few other things. Older kids when on the slingshot and really enjoyed it whilst younger ones liked the mini golf. The young lady, Moni, serving was very helpful and engaging. If you are into fast paced adrenaline rides, then this is a must visit.Written 18 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TommoMelbourne, Australia49,648 contributionsThis shopping centre has been fully renovated and is much improved from the past.
Its the largest and most well known mall in Surfers Paradise.
As a child I use to visit to play games ion the amusement centre.
There appears to have been an addition with some new tenants like El Camino Mexican, Thai Restaurant, and ice cream shops and more.
On the first floor where the eateries are located you get great views of Surfers Paradise Beach.Written 18 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
