Centrally located at Carrara on the beautiful Gold Coast, only a stone’s throw from Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, Carrara Markets is the biggest permanent weekend marketplace in Australia. With over 400 stalls covering 10 acres it’s a treasure trove of the curious and the unusual. It’s also the original home of discount shopping when it comes to fresh produce, fashion, homewares, pots, plants, bric a brac, souvenirs, arts and crafts and just about everything else.

Carrara Markets is a popular family day out, with buskers, pony rides, jumping castle, bungy trampolines and face painters. A popular attraction for the family is a visit to Luke’s Reptile Kingdom. A breathtaking interactive show featuring dozens of Australia’s unique and unusual creatures including very rare species and the world’s most venomous snakes.

And now new to the markets is Carrara Mini Golf . With two amazingly themed 18 hole mini golf courses. Play outdoor among the ancient ruins of Asia. Play indoor with animated dinosaurs, swashbuckling pirates and mediaeval dragons. Kids pay free, with each paying adult.
