Gumbuya World reopened in December 2017 following a multi-million dollar redevelopment. It is the vision of a group of Victorian entrepreneurs consisting of Gerry Ryan, Wal Pisciotta, Adam Campbell, Brett Murray, and Ray and Ron Weinzierl, who wanted to reimagine the tourist favourite they enjoyed with their families when they were younger, and create a legacy of fun and imagination for future generations.
Gumbuya World is located at 2705 Princes Highway, Tynong, 3813 Victoria.
