    I took some friends who live overseas to this show, they loved the singing, light show, animals, storyline and food, I did too and I'm a local! It was packed and there was next to no social distancing, the seats are really close to each other - think plane seat close, but that was the only complaint. It was a really fun night. We were suprised to see so many babies and young kids attending, can't really say it would have been the best show for them because it does get super loud in there, but its perfect for adults. I'd recommend it to anyone visiting the Gold Coast.

    Absolutely fantastic! Really great value for money. The show was really entertaining and a great storey. There was free live music and a bar while you wait for the show to start. The actual venue and arena were really well set up and you had a great view from everywhere. The riding skills of the performers were great and the horses beautiful. The food was actually really nice, I had the beef steak and it was the best I had while on my trip to the Gold Coast!

    The Australia Outback Spectacular is spectacular. We are here for my daughter's birthday, and she truly enjoys the horses. We have the show and dinner package. The food was good, but the beer was a bit flat. Outstanding experience, and the show was terrific. We will be back again when the new show is updated.

    Every now and then you experience something you’ll never forget. Tonight our entire family from 8 years old to 74 years old thoroughly enjoyed this experience. We cannot recommend this enough. The Heartland story was very interesting and an Aussie history lesson that made you proud to be Australian. The cinamatics were brilliantly used to support the main act with well trained horses, dogs and even cows! The actors had stunning voices and a close bond with their horses. The 3 course meal was surprisingly delicious too! Value for money galore! Highly recommend.

    Amazing night out. This is our third different show and it was AMAZING. The food was delicious and the drinks were great too. Such a professional and wonderful place for special occasions or just to see art of this kind. There is a beauty in watching the horses perform, it was wonderful. Everyone seemed to enjoy the show ☺️

    What an awesome night out. Great meal served while the show was running but didn't interrupt the viewing of the show at all. The show itself was spectacular. The animals were majestic and the storyline was relevant. Well worth a look 😊

    As the name suggest, this is an spectacular show. With 3 course meal you get a chance to get to know the history of Australia, aussie culture and lifestyle. Animal performance, laughter, love, magical stunts almost everything you look in a show. A nice way to spend your evening once you are done with theme parks in this area.

    Amazing show. Very well rehearsed and the animals are also super well trained. The storyline is a little bumpy at the start but once you understand it, it makes a lot of sense. The food was great but the drink selection was quite slim. Every seat has a good view and audience participation is also involved. The pre show entertainment and photo opportunities were nice and the staff and actors are welcoming and polite. Would definitely visit again if they bring out another show.

    An absolutely wonderful experience. All indoors, so you don't need to worry about the weather. A fantastic dinner and show package. You will need to check their website about prices, as I was there a year ago. Definitely worth going to.

    Food was really good, great service too. Entertainment was ok - for someone that doesn’t like theatre. Light show was awesome, best I’ve ever seen. The inclusion of political opinion in the show really left a sour taste, no one wants to pay to be entertained only to get politics rammed down your throat. I could just go to the local Greens political meeting for free if I wanted that.

    Lovely set up and good atmosphere even before show. Show itself bit slow and at times it is was hard to hear the actors due echoing. Food was much better quality than I expected - steak actually melted in mouth, drinks got re-filled quite few times too what was good :) Entree quiche was delicious and chocolate cake at the end was amazing! I think the photo packages should be sold after the show - i missed pretty what seemed important part in the show with them trying to sell the photos. Overall...lovely show to visit! Especially nice and warm place to hide out on rainy day :)

    Recommended show to watch after a trip to movie world or wet n wild. A three course dinner is included with the ticket and does not disrupt the show too much during service. The show itself was great with a good storyline and utilizing horses as part of the show.

    Shed a tear or two watching the show. Beautifully created and excellent visual display. Good quality food and excellent customer service. Even my 9 year old enjoyed every minute of the show and loved the food. 5 🌟 all along 😍❤️

    A good experience overall and a pleasant way to spend the evening. Food was reasonable and there was the option to buy alcoholic drinks, or have wine during the meal. Story could have been a little better and perhaps with some more action, but there were some good parts for sure. The singer in the foyer area was great and set a good atmosphere.

    It was a fantastic Friday night after movie world. Book in advance through KKDAY. Full house. The whole place was very cowboy style. Good service. Good show. Got to know more Aussie life back then!

    We had a great time at Outback Spectacular show. That was Saturday night and busy. We arrived around 6 pm for 730 show. Once you lined up at the entrance, they scanned ur ticket , gave u free cowboy hat 🤠 and then lined up again for photo shoot area. They will bring up your photos to you during the show time and you can buy it if you are happy with the pictures. The pack include 3 pictures in a unique folder packed with true Aussie stories and fun facts about show. There is a bar outside the arena area - where you can buy drinks before the show. There is a gift shop next to the waiting area before you enter the Arena. The door to Arena open at 7 for show time 730. There are staffs who help you to find your seats. Show was great and entertaining. Plenty of horse ridings 🏇, touching story about outback farmers who are struggling with severe drought. The visual and sound effects are spectacular. The music and performances are amazing. Food is yummy ( my beef was nice and juicy , my son enjoyed his chicken) and staffs are well trained and organized in serving food. Overall experience was fabulous. We are very happy with our visit and highly recommended.

    From the minute you walk in and get a cattlemans hat put on your head, you feel like you're in a big shed, all while the buzz of excitement is filling the room. If you love a drink at a traditional aussie bar, cattle dogs, horses, a good old fashioned love story, the struggle of life in the Aussie outback and delicious food, this is a must do. You will be in awe of the amazing show and how the food is still hot and yummy when it gets to you!!! This was our third visit. Each show has been different, and I've loved them all! So much talent and always leave with a smile.

    First time visit. However, my experience was with wheelchair access for work. It made entry, parking, and seating easy. It was a little busy to get through crowds, and most people were kind to make way for us. The show was great! Complimentary soft drinks, wine, beer, water, tea and coffee during the show, and 3 course meals that I enjoyed.

    It was such an amazing experience for my 50th birthday with my family. I loved the show. The atmosphere was great, and the food was amazing. Both the chicken and steak was very juicy and hot. The portion sizes were perfect. The service was very organised including the drinks, and the food. The staff was very nice. Thank you for such a fantastic night!!!! Highly recommend!!!!

    Was absolutely blown away - was expecting this to be a great experience but it truly exceeded expectations. Such a great show!! From meeting some of the horses and the dogs before the show, to the delicious 3 course meal to the show itself - it was an amazing experience! Will be back to see it again for sure

    A spectacular show for the whole family. Entertainment and food both excellent. Lighting and visual effects very life like. Wheel chair friendly. Good viewing from all angles of stadium.

  • 5/5 Joanne R. 10 months ago on Google
    Omg what a fantastic show. Loved every minute of it and of course being a horse lover, thought the horses deserved many treats for how well they performed during show. Also, having very low expectations as far as the food was concerned having been to many functions, the chicken and all the meals were amazing. My chicken was not all dry, my husband's steak was small but beautifully cooked and we all enjoyed the entree plus the dessert. 10 out of 10 to all of you involved in the show

    The Drovers Lounge Tickets are well worth it. We were treated with a 4 course meal and with the best seats in the house 😍 we also had a dedicated Drovers Lounge Attendant which looked after us with our beverages and food. Before the show we got a behind the scenes tour and were shown all the animals and after the show some of the crew and cast members came up to the lounge and chatted to us all. We received all our photos that had been taken of us and a lovely gift bag with some souvenirs. It was a great night out 🙂

    A good night out. Show was good, some parts of the acting weren’t so great. But storyline was good. Food was good, but not catered by any means for children. As a ‘family friendly’ venue, a children’s meal should be offered. Good variety of drinks from the bar. I wouldn’t be rushing back, but a good experience as a once off.

  • 5/5 Ian T. 7 months ago on Google
    Stunning The atmosphere was fantastic and the show was one of the best I've seen. It was a glimpse into the tough world of station farming. Who would have thought there would be a helicopter "flying" around inside as part of the show. Dinner was delicious and the desert wouldn't be out of place in a michelin star rated restaurant. Pay the extra and get top rail for the best view, free drink and free photo.

    6 Stars 🤩 if I could give 10 stars I would😁💜🤠🐎 Spectacular indeed - Live show, 3 course meal, family orientated, free cowboys hats, photos unlimited drinks Incredible!!!! ❤️💙🩵💛🧡🩷⭐

  • 4/5 Nicky K. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great night out, certainly a different experience. Loved the show (incl the Aussie songs) and the animals. A little misleading re availability of drinks during the show - wait staff circulated each section about 3 times with jugs of beer or chlorinated tap water, red/white wine, or lemonade. There were no other soft drink options. The 3 course meal was nice. Really loved the chocolate dessert.

  • 5/5 Bettina W. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve visited the Gold Coast multiple times, but this is my first visit at the Australian Outback Spectacular. If you’re interested in some entertainment with a 3-course meal, then you gotta go! The show incorporates an amazing, realistic light show that’s worth watching. The food was decent, portions were good. Though, the eye fillet steak was quite dry. Like the others have already said, it’s pretty good value for money. I’d recommend this place to anyone who haven’t been just for the experience

    The Outback Spectacular is a great show to go and see. It can be enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. It has great horsemanship, a good storyline, and really well presented graphics and lighting to enhance the performance. The food is fresh, well prepared and well proportioned. It is not a very disability friendly venue, though staff try very hard to assist. They have some spaces for manual wheelchairs with tables that roll out, but they cannot accommodate an electric wheelchair. The seats are very hard, so consider bringing a cushion if you have issues with this. It is a long distance from the disability parking to the entry and exit. There is a long wait between arrival and the start of the show (about an hour). Recommended if you have not got any access needs.

  • 5/5 Benjamin Z. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s no wonder why the show has a almost perfect 5 star rating, the enter experience is top notch. Worth every dollar , I would pay the same price for no food. The actors are great and the story telling us on point. My only thing would be to request the servers to be more careful when clearing the plates, I walked away with steak sauce on my back from the aggressive clearing happening behind me. The photo packages are a little aggressive at $60. If priced more appropriate around $45 - $50 I’m sure total sales would increase. Overall great experience highly recommended
