Summer has officially hit and we have the ultimate family-friendly school holiday destination to make the most of it! Head to the much-loved Paradise Centre in the heart of Surfers Paradise to check out some unmissable events and cracking deals. From shopping to prizes and entertainment, there’s something for the young and the young at heart. Summer in Paradise kicks off on December 18 until December 31 – spend $40 in centre at participating retailers for your chance to nab some awesome prizes – from Apple AirPods to Yeti coolers and Sunnylife pool rings to level up your summer in the sunshine. You can Spin & Win from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm daily.

For the daredevils among us, from December 27 to January 9 you can have a crack at the free inflatable wave rider! Your challenge? Stay on the board and keep your balance among the barrels. If you’re one of the lucky first 200 shakka lords to hit the waves, you’ll also nab a $10 Paradise Centre gift card.

From January 10–19 , we have word that there will be some pretty special roving entertainers wandering the centre. It’s impossible to predict whether you’ll run into them while gaming up a storm at Timezone, checking out the shops or competing with the fam at the brand-new Zone Bowling – but keep your eyes peeled.
