Carrara: Markets and Roller Skating

Carrara offers two clearly distinct leisure options to help you plan your trip: Carrara Markets brings together market stalls, shops and cafés, while Rollerama focuses on roller skating with DJ music and games. If you’re looking for a hotel in Carrara, these specific attractions can help you decide what you’d like to focus on during your stay.

Carrara Markets: Stalls, shops and cafés

Carrara Markets has more than 300 market stalls, shops and cafés with table service across 10 acres. For your planning, this brings several possible activities together in one destination: browsing market stalls, shopping and eating at a café. The table-service cafés offer a different experience from browsing stalls and shops. You can tailor your visit to whether you’re most interested in the market offerings, the shops or the cafés. The number of stalls and the area give an indication of the stated scale; these figures may change over time.

Carrara Markets lists free entry and free parking; check the operator’s current visitor information before travelling. The public transport journey takes two steps: take the G:link tram to Broadbeach South Station, then a Translink or Surfside bus to Carrara Markets. Check both legs for your travel day.

Family activities at Carrara Markets

Family activities at Carrara Markets include pony rides, a farm with baby animals, face painting and a bungee trampoline. The options can be grouped by interest: pony rides and the farm with baby animals offer animal encounters, while face painting and the bungee trampoline are other specific activities. This lets you discuss with your travel group before your visit which options might interest them. The activities on offer may change; check the latest details before visiting.

Rollerama and special celebrations

Rollerama is a fully covered roller-skating rink with DJ music and roller-skating games, and is described as fun for all ages. If you’re looking for a specific activity, roller skating with music and games offers a different focus from visiting market stalls, shops and cafés. Check the venue’s current information before visiting, as what’s on offer may change.

Rollerama also offers birthday parties and other special celebrations. If you’re considering a celebration, check booking availability directly with the venue. This lets you include the occasion as a separate item in your plans.

Which option suits your trip?

Across 10 acres, Carrara Markets brings together a variety of market, shopping and café options, as well as the family activities mentioned above. Rollerama, by contrast, focuses on roller skating in a fully covered rink. So if you’re choosing between the two, it comes down to a broader mix of offerings or one specific leisure activity. This distinction can help you decide how Carrara fits into your plans based on what you’d like to do during your stay.
