#Get hands on in HOTA's Children's Gallery
A curious, pop up island for you to explore.
TROPIC ARCADIA is an unexpected, new travel destination for families! Tongan-Polynesian artist Samuel Tupou has created a curious, pop-up island for you to explore. Discover his colourful patterns inspired by tapa (bark cloth) designs set amongst a surreal, tropical landscape that is part memory, part imagination, part arcade game.
Visit HOTA’s Children’s Gallery and collect your map to start your expedition. There is so much to do and discover as you journey throughout TROPIC ARCADIA. Through the layered art of Samuel Tupou, families will be transported into a multi-dimensional realm of fun and adventure.
#Bring your floaties
Evandale Lake is one of the Gold Coast’s best kept secrets. Spend the day in the beautiful Gold Coast weather - take a dip, enjoy the kids playground, have a picnic or BBQ!
