Gumbuya World Fair: A Family Fun Extravaganza These School Holidays

Gumbuya World is a unique amusement park that combines water, wildlife, and theme park attractions across 430 acres of beautiful bushland. The park is divided into four main areas: Oasis Springs, Wildlife Trail, Oz Adventure, and Outback Explorers.

Wildlife Trail

Feathered, furry or fanged, there are more than 50 species of amazing animals waiting to meet you on the Wildlife Trail. Catch a free Ranger Talk to learn more about these incredible creatures and, for a truly unforgettable experience, book an Animal Close Encounter to get up close and personal with koalas, dingos, pythons and more!

Oz Adventure

You don’t need to get wet to go for a ride. There’s a world of fun under the gums when you spin out at Oz Adventure thrill-ride zone, including the two biggest rollercoasters in Victoria. From Project Zero with 5G forces to the suspended family rollercoaster TNT, you will get your adrenaline pumping!

Outback Explorers

A whole world of adventure for smaller thrill-seekers! Packed with pirate ships, giant berries, big-rig trucks and a kid's playground, the Outback Explorers family precinct ensures all the action is just the right size.

Oasis Springs

Whether you’re taking the plunge on epic water slides, soaking in the rays with a drift along the 300-metre Lazy River, or getting deliriously drenched on Typhoon Island, Oasis Springs is bursting with fantastic fun. Relax in the heated family wave pool or catch the perfect wave at Surf’s Up. To add a splash of style to your day, book a luxury cabana! Oasis Springs officially opens in November for the summer season,  however there will be Paddle Boats running in the Lazy River these school holidays and bonus water attractions on selected dates!

Gumbuya World Fair

The very first Gumbuya World Fair is a family fun extravaganza happening these school holidays, with a ton of attractions and activities and a vibrant festival atmosphere.

Bringing the city and the country together, Gumbuya World is blending the best of both worlds with its beloved pheasant and paddle boats alongside thrilling roller coasters, rides, and wildlife. Plus there will be live music, an animal farm, vibrant face painting, traditional carnival games, heaps of show bags, market stalls and tasty treats.

Every Saturday of the school holidays the fun fair vibes will continue into the night with the Twilight Fair Sessions from 2 pm - 7 pm.
