About JoyPlanet Park

Creating Magical Moments Since 2021

Our Story

JoyPlanet Park was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to create a place where families could escape the ordinary and immerse themselves in extraordinary experiences. Founded in 2018 by a group of entertainment industry veterans and theme park enthusiasts, our journey began with a dream to transform Brisbane's entertainment landscape.

After three years of meticulous planning, innovative design, and passionate construction, JoyPlanet Park officially opened its gates in 2021. What started as 50 acres of undeveloped land has blossomed into Australia's most beloved family entertainment destination, featuring over 40 world-class attractions, six themed zones, and countless memories waiting to be made.

Our founders believed that amusement parks should be more than just collections of rides—they should be immersive experiences that transport visitors to different worlds, spark imagination, and create lasting bonds between families and friends. This philosophy continues to guide every decision we make, from attraction design to guest service excellence.

Today, JoyPlanet Park welcomes over 2 million visitors annually from across Australia and around the globe. We've received numerous industry awards, including the Queensland Tourism Excellence Award and the Green Entertainment Venue certification, recognizing our commitment to both exceptional guest experiences and environmental sustainability.

"JoyPlanet Park exceeded all our expectations! We brought our three kids ranging from 5 to 13 years old, and there was something perfect for each of them. The VR Dimension Coaster was mind-blowing, and the staff went above and beyond to make our visit special. The park is impeccably clean, well-organized, and the attention to safety is evident everywhere. We've been to theme parks around the world, and this ranks among the very best. Already planning our return visit!"

"As someone who travels frequently for business, I brought my family to Brisbane specifically to visit JoyPlanet Park, and it was worth every kilometer! The innovation in their attractions is remarkable—the Interactive Adventure Quest had us competing for hours. What impressed me most was the seamless integration of technology without losing that classic theme park charm. The food options were surprisingly excellent, and the park's commitment to sustainability is admirable. Highly recommend to any family!"

"We're annual pass holders and visit JoyPlanet Park at least twice a month! Every visit brings something new to discover. My daughter absolutely loves the STEM workshops—she's learned so much about physics and engineering while having fun. The seasonal events are always spectacular, and the staff remembers us by name, which makes us feel like part of the JoyPlanet family. Brisbane is fortunate to have such an incredible venue. It's not just a theme park; it's a community hub where memories are made!"
