Review Comedy In The Basement - Gold Coast

HOTA will be one of our top five favourite spots to visit in Queensland! We came here for the Lego Brick-ionary exhibition and we only planned to stay for 30 to 60 minutes but ended up spending the whole afternoon in this tranquil gallery. The staff were super friendly and introduced many places for us to visit, such as the lawn, the stage, the lake etc. all the staff wore pink shirts and they all looked very smart! Really enjoyed visiting this place as it is very spacious and the floor to ceiling glass windows made this building look so unique. Parking is free for the first four hours so it was not a worry at all. We would highly recommend this place for any families who like to explore arts and the nature :)

Beautiful view from level 5, then 3 levels of free exhibits before lower level 'paid exhibits/activities. Coffee shops in the new building as well as near the cinema and box office. Beautiful gardens and walk around the lake. Not quite the same photos you'd get on a sunny day but worth the visit.

Great environment, child friendly art centre. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Modern style artwork, great views on Level 5 and food there too.

We visited HOTA for Lego brick exhibition. We bought tickets online which was easy but charged me to print the ticket at home which is strange. For lego experience, it was great. We have been to Lego land in Melbourne as well as in Japan but this is different. Here we have three stations where kids can create their own Legos. There are plenty of Lego displays ( Large and small) to inspire kids to become next generation Lego designers. Recommend to visit if you like Lego.

What an incredible venue. Easy to access and exit. The bathrooms are easy accessed and the venue is designed to have food trucks and bars at either ends. The sneaky sound system and ministry of sound event was absolutely incredible.

Nice collection of art (but I'm no art critic...I just enjoyed what I saw), small but growing. Interesting architecture inside and out too, great views, helpful staff, several galleries are open for free, right near the hopo ferry.

Such fun. The coffee shop has the best view of the Gold Coast I've ever seen...really interesting. And the sculptures outside are wonderful too.

Great location and easy to find. Plenty of parking available. The garden is very beautiful along the river. Modern architect with a small cafe. Plenty of open space for families and kids.
