WHAT'S ON AT THE FAIR 👇

UNLIMITED ROLLER COASTERS, RIDES & WILDLIFE

Feel the G-forces as our mighty beast The Rebel launches you into a heartstopping orbit that swings you two ways at once or head over to the thrilling family coaster that will keep you coming back for more, TNT! If the big thrill rides aren't your thing, you might prefer to cruise around the theme park on Ray's Express Train or race around Desert Derby in the dodgem cars!

There's also over 70+ species of wildlife to meet, from cuddly koalas to slithering snakes and marmoset monkeys to little penguins! Oh my!
‍

GUMBUYA PADDLE BOATS

The OG Gumbuya Park Paddle Boats are back again... with a twist! Paddle down our 300m Lazy River where you'll soak up the nostalgic 80s & 90s vibes!

FAIR FUN

Enjoy all of your favourites from face painting, Gumbo's carnival games and even show bags! There's prizes to be won and so much fun to be had!

GET TO KNOW THE GUMBUYA HISTORY

Gumbuya World Theme Park was previously Gumbuya Park and opened in 1978 over an old pheasant farm! Local legend Bruno Crestani crafted the 16.8-metre-long, 7.6-metre-tall golden pheasant, Big Bruno, in 1981 over the span of 3 months! Big Bruno is a local favourite and can be seen from the motorway as you drive past!

Remebering Bruno Crestani 🕊️
Bruno Crestani's passed away on 26 July 2025. He leaves behind a legacy you can quite literally see and stand beside. He’ll always be part of Gumbuya World Theme Park and in the hearts of everyone who passes by or stops to admire the bird.
