    QLD holiday, opinions please :)

    So we are planning on taking a family holiday in oct this year. DD1 will be 5, DD2 almost 3, and DD3 will be 8mths.
    We were thinking about staying at seaworld, or at least taking them to seaworld, maybe dreamworld as well.

    But we're wondering whether they will be too young to really enjoy them. What are your opinions? Would you take them? What else could we do to entertain them? Alternatives? Right now we are sitting on the fence as to what to do.

    Thanks in advance

    Woo hoo for holidays, how exciting! I don't live in QLD so don't know of any alternatives...but I would take my boys if we could so I don't think your girls would be too young. A friend of mine is taking her 3 year old and 1 year old next week actually

    I went a little over a year ago to both Seaworld and Dreamworld and my kids loved it..

    We went with a friend so kids ages were DD 3 Friends DD 1.5 and DS 1.. All had a great time at both..

    We are in QLD but nearly 2 hrs drive from the theme parks.. We are thinking of going and staying at Seaworld for a weekend getaway. Our kids are nearly 5 and 3.

    Google Paradise country! They have a baby animal nursery, billy tea and damper, dog show, kangaroos you can feed and koalas, there's more but I cant remember. We went last term with playgroup and DS had a ball!
    I REALLY want to take him to Sea world too...

    ETA- DS even got to squeeze a cows teat!

    Paradise Resort is awesome definately worth googling that one too!

    We live only 35 mins from the Theme Parks and haven't been to Sea World for a few years now but i believe it has been done up and is great for all ages, i think you'd probably get more value at Sea World just going by your little ones ages.

    Have a great holiday!
