Southport Sharks: Family Friendly Dining on the Gold Coast

Everything kid-friendly you need to know about Southport Sharks Club, including kids’ eat free, kids’ play zones, and kids’ shows!

Southport Sharks offers a premium kids dining experience that won’t leave your wallet gasping for air! Have you seen what’s on offer?

Southport Sharks Club Kids’ Zone

We’ve all been there! Desperate for a decent feed that won’t break the bank but wary of dining out in a place where kids just aren’t welcome. Where you get judgemental stares for the fact that your kids are just being kids. We’ve already compiled a list of some of our favourite child-friendly restaurants on the Gold Coast but we wanted to give one a shout-out all of its own…

Stress no more, families! Southport Sharks is the place where you can take your tribe and be assured that everyone’s going to leave smiling instead of stressed.

What’s on for families at Southport Sharks Club?

Wobbygongs Kids Fun Zone is a huge play area located near the reception point of the Southport Sharks Club. There’s a rock climbing wall, activity area, mini basketball court, PlayStations and two little mini movie theatres screening kids’ films and TV shows.

It’s totally secure, totally safe and totally cool. The kids can burn off some energy before the meals arrive which, as any seasoned parent knows, will make for a far easier and more enjoyable meal.

The Wobbygongs Kids Fun Zone is open seven days a week!

  • Monday 5pm – 8:30pm
  • Tuesday to Friday 5pm to 9pm
  • Saturday 12pm to 9pm
  • Sunday 12pm to 8:30pm

If you’re a member it’s $3.50 per hour but if not, you’re looking at $5.50. Prices are one dollar more expensive on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and on public holidays.

Did somebody say free food?

Kids eat for free at Southport Sharks every Saturday morning from their buffet breakfast and every Monday night from their buffet dinner. If attached to a full-price paying adult, kids aged 12 and under eat free on these days! Whoop whoop! Sometimes some conditions apply so call ahead if you’re planning on an early feast.

Half-price dinner and a show!

Southport Sharks is currently offering a free kids show every Sunday, during which kids can eat half-price at the Frenzy’s Dinner Buffet.

The show is free to attend for members and non-members.
