It’s the kind of place you’ll keep coming back to… Because seriously, it’ll take more than a day to play all the games! To make things even more enticing, Timezone Surfers Paradise is situated in the legendary Paradise Centre, just a hop away from the world-renowned beauty of Surfers Paradise Beach. Play, swim, surf, repeat! (We wouldn’t blame you if you decided to stay forever.) Perfect for friends, families, first (or 50^th!) dates, and even some friendly office rivalry – Timezone Surfers Paradise brings the epic!
