Have a ball and score big these school holidays at Paradise Centre

Are you a self-proclaimed MVP at shooting hoops? If you have a competitive nature that won’t quit, then rally a team and head to Paradise Centre in Surfers Paradise for hours of slam dunkin’ fun these school holidays.


Fancy yourself a sharpshooter? Spend $20 or more in a single transaction at Paradise Centre (at participating retailers), and bring your receipt to the basketball court from 1:00–4:00 pm daily where you can shoot hoops for some incredible prizes like Paradise Centre gift cards, free sessions from MANIAX Axe ThrowingWahlburgers and Freak VR gift cards, merch and more, with a total value of over $20,000.*

Not just your average shopping precinct, Paradise Centre is a game-filled wonderland where kids can have fun, and grown-ups can have fun like kids again. From Thursday April 4 to Sunday April 7, a beachside basketball court will be set up for anyone who wants to shoot hoops like Lebron. 

If you want to learn from the experts, there will be pro demos and dunkers on the court from 1:00–5:00 pm daily and free play basketball time from 4:00–5:00 pm daily.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, you can take a timeout to feast on mouthwatering ribs from TGI Fridays, signature burgers from Wahlburgers and alley-oop on sweet Krispy Kreme donuts.

The fun doesn’t stop there – there’s plenty of entertainment on the cards including DJ tunes from 1:00–5:00 pm. Those looking to show off some moves can bust it with the hip-hop show at 3:20 pm.

Plus, don’t miss the chance to get your photo taken with Paradise Centre’s very cute cheerleaders, Beau the Budgie, Chip the Seagull, and Lucy the Lorikeet who will be roaming the centre from April 4–7. Oh, and if you throw up a cheeky ‘gram, remember to tag @paradisecentre and #paradisecentreqld. Hop to it!
