HOTA

Nestled within landscaped parklands and alongside a tranquil lake, HOTA (Home of the Arts) is the Gold Coast's world class arts precinct and cultural hub.

A must-visit for visitors of all ages, HOTA is the place to enjoy everything from live performances, lakeside strolls and stargazing to movie-watching and art viewing.

Within HOTA's stunning technicolour tower you'll find two arthouse cinemas, two traditional theatres, a multi-level  Art Gallery and a number of smaller venues used for art and performance.

You'll need plenty of time to explore HOTA's outdoor precinct, with sculptures and art pieces, the beautiful lake (which is open for swimming), a splendid Outdoor Stage that is its own work of art and an adventure trail that kids will love. You can even climb up onto the top of the stage's shell, where you'll enjoy some amazing views of Surfers Paradise.

If you happen to be visiting on a Sunday, you'll find the Bundall Farmers' Markets alongside the lake. Gold Coast locals travel from far and wide to these popular markets to pick up locally grown quality produce, artisan goods, handmade products and unique wares.

.No matter when you visit, you'll find plenty of fun things for the whole family to enjoy. HOTA is also a five minute drive from the heart of Surfers Paradise with its many attractions and wide variety of eateries.
