Besides the Queens Gambit, what other queen side attack openings are
there?

For White or for Black. I am sure that there are a lot of openings,
but, which are the good ones.

Honestly, a queenside attack is just one of many possible themes in the
queen's gambit. Kingside attacks also play a regular role in that
opening.

Attacking the queenside is a standard theme for white in the Ruy Lopez.
It's very common for black in the sicilian.
