Top 44 things to do and attractions in Cockburn

Heaps to do and see, for all ages. We were they from opening and took snacks to save money for a souvenirs / matching bracelets. Lots has improved since this place opened. Fond memories for everyone.

Definitely come to Adventure world during the weekdays between morning to afternoon, there is less rush and you’ll make your money’s worth by coming. Sure is one of the most expensive parts of Perth, but utilising your season pass will pay off the fun. Perhaps one of my favourite rides was the abyss, the dynamic and the thrill gave an excitement which made me go on for six times. Food on the other hand was satisfactory, I ordered cheese pizza which was quite expensive considering how small it was, it came out quite burnt. Luckily, the lady was nice and gave me another pizza but it was still burnt. But I’m not a fussy eater so I ate the pizza anyway. Overall Adventure world is costly but it is a nice place with a nice environment and SpongeBob like song choices. It’s a family fun environment and has great ride options however they should add a lot more rides. The cost is way too much so you should get the season pass. Overall four star rating

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Went to Adventure World on a Monday — highly recommend if you enjoy not standing in queues. Rides were basically “walk in, scream, repeat.” 👶We took a 4-year-old and a 1.5-year-old. Baby got her standard two rides (the VIP baby package, apparently), then spent the rest of the day supervising other people’s fun. 🩷Our 4-year-old, however, treated the place like her personal theme park and went on her favourite rides three or four times without a single wait. 🍕The park itself? Beautiful. Clean. Lots to do if your kids are big enough. 🙃**A few staff members had that “please don’t talk to me” customer-service energy, but nothing tragic.** If you’re planning a visit: weekdays = peaceful, minimal queues, maximum energy left at the end of the day. Kids will be thrilled; parents will survive. Overall, worth it.

Took 5 grandchildren there durning the school holidays. They had a ball. I hardly saw them I got to sit in the shade and relax with a wine while they played and had rides etc.

We’ve been Adventure World season pass holders for two years now - mainly because it’s right next to our son’s ice hockey training at Cockburn Ice Arena, so it’s been a convenient place to unwind after games. Last year, we went four or five times and had some great experiences with friendly and proactive staff. However, our recent visit (Sat 18 Oct) was disappointing. The park was crowded (as it often is), and we waited around 40 minutes for just one ride. It’s a consistent issue - if you’re there for only 2 hours, you’re lucky to experience three or four rides. What made this visit particularly unpleasant was an incident on the pedal ride (the one where you cycle around the park) at 16 55 pm on Sat 18 Oct (giving you the exact time so you can find out who was working on the ride then - 2 young ladies - and provide them with adequate training). A group of teenagers behind me repeatedly bumped into my carriage, even after I asked them to stop. It eventually caused me to be pushed into a staff member at the unloading area, who initially thought it was my fault. Although the situation was later understood, it was disappointing that one of the attendants chose to turn it into a joke rather than handle it seriously (her exact words to the teenagers were: so, are you gonna pay me money to forgive you for your behaviour?) It didn’t feel professional or safe at all, and there was no: so sorry you had to go through this - zero empathy (instead I was accused of bumping into the attendant on purpose). Adventure World has a lot going for it - beautiful grounds, fun rides, and family-friendly facilities - but staff training really needs improvement. Team members should be better equipped to handle guest behaviour, have difficult conversations respectfully, and maintain a sense of authority without escalating situations. We always bring our own food because the food lines are long and prices are quite high when the park is crowded. Unfortunately, after this experience, we’re reconsidering renewing our season pass next year.

I would recommend this park for families with young children or teenagers. However, the weight restrictions did impact our visit, as we were only able to go on a few of the waterslides. We now realise this information is noted on the website, but it would be helpful if it were made more prominent. The monorail has also changed to allow only one adult at a time, which made the experience feel a little underwhelming after waiting in the queue. We brought our own food and drinks to save money, which worked well, and the locker system was excellent. The rides were fun but limited and we thought it would be great to have small TV screens displaying ride photos to help keep guests entertained while waiting in line. Overall, we would definitely recommend the park to visitors under 90kg, as they’ll get the most out of the experience.

Adventure World is a fantastic theme park that offers a great mix of thrilling rides, exciting water slides, and a fun atmosphere. I recently visited the park and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. One of the highlights of my visit was the incredible selection of rides. The Abyss roller coaster was an absolute adrenaline rush, with its steep drops and fast twists. I also enjoyed the Kraken, a unique water slide that sends you plummeting down a near-vertical drop. For those looking for something a bit more relaxed, the park also offers a variety of family-friendly rides. The water park section of Adventure World is equally impressive. The Kahuna Falls is a massive water playground with multiple slides and water features, perfect for cooling off on a hot day. The Lagoon is a huge pool that's great for swimming and relaxing. In addition to the rides and water slides, I was also impressed with the cleanliness of the park. The grounds were well-maintained, and the facilities were spotless. This made for a more enjoyable experience overall. I also had the chance to attend one of Adventure World's night time events. The atmosphere was electric, with music, lights, and special entertainment. It was a truly memorable experience. Overall, I highly recommend Adventure World to anyone looking for a fun-filled day out. With its thrilling rides, exciting water slides, clean environment, and amazing night time events, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

This beach has clear water and soft sand, and you can even go snorkeling to explore the remains of an old shipwreck. The water is calm and shallow enough to swim around the wreck. There are freshwater showers on shore, but keep in mind that the public restroom — where you can change — seems to be the only one, and it’s not located near the shipwreck site.

Always love going to Coogee Maritime Trail, always see lots of different sea life. Great place for snorkeling/scuba diving.

Wonderful spot to snorkel. The wreck is in great condition and in fairly shallow water, suitable for beginner to expert snorkelers. Visibility is perfect most of the time. The actual trail goes deeper and deeper and shows you great marine life. Every now and then there's a stinger, so watch out for those. There are no facilities and the nearest public shower is a 10 minute walk or 5 minute drive south.

Lovely little swimming and snorkelling spot. The Omeo wreck is only metres from the beach and great for kids and first time snorkelers. Plenty of fish to see but can get very busy with restricted visibility from all the sand being churned up. The snorkeling “trail” is a little overgrown and indistinct but we had fun swimming around looking for it. A few hundred metres down the beach is a netted off swimming area with floating pontoon. Was very popular with lap swimmers. Note parking is minimal be prepared to park in the streets and walk a bit to the beach.

Great location with an awesome beach and snorkeling spot.

Clear blue crystal, perfect for diving and swimming.

Good easy dive. If diving go early as some of the snorkelers get a bit pissy with divers.

We took the 4 PM guided tour at Fremantle Prison and found it genuinely interesting. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, and the historical insights were well presented. It’s definitely worth visiting if you’re curious about Western Australia’s convict past and prison architecture. However, we were quite disappointed by the lack of clear information beforehand. We had called in advance and were told that the site was only accessible via guided tours, and that there was no walk-through museum. Based on that, we scheduled our visit around the tour. Unfortunately, after the tour ended, we discovered that there is in fact a museum area at the front of the prison. No one mentioned this to us on the phone or when we arrived, which was frustrating. By the time we finished the tour, those areas had already been closed off, so we missed them entirely. It’s a real shame, because we would have planned our visit differently had we known. Clearer communication would have made a big difference.

Visited yesterday and got to see and learn some more history of this great town of ours.. Was very interesting listening to the stories of early pioneers and convicts that shaped our city. Walking through the prison was thought provoking, certainly was tough on the occupants throughout the years.

We visited the Fremantle prison today (Tuesday) around 12.15pm and was luckily told there was a Behind the Bars tour at 12.30pm. There are other tours that goes on at different times and the Tunnel tours. We only opted for the one tour where we only had 6 other people in this tour group. Our tour guide was James. He was very humorous and engaging. James made the tour fun and interesting. Thank you James for making us giggle! Had a great time learning about the history of the prison and the life of a prisoner. Would definitely want to the other tours another time when I visit Perth again!!! NOTE it was not busy on this tour Ticket price: AUD 24pp Duration of tour: 1 hour and 15 mins

Fremantle Prison was a super interesting visit with well-informed, engaging guides. I only toured the prison itself and was really pleased I went — lots of history and context. The tour might run a bit long for younger kids, but it’s excellent for adults and older teens.

I didn’t realise how incredible this place was until I got there! The visit was truly impressive,full of atmosphere, history, and emotion. Walking through the old cells and hearing about the early days of Western Australia gave me a real sense of what life was like back then. A must visit if you want to experience the true heritage of WA.

Highly recommend the Wednesday night Prison Torchlight Tour! Our guide was truly outstanding; their storytelling was superb, making the history feel incredibly real and interesting. It was a perfectly timed about 1.5-hour tour and was very reasonably priced. A fantastic night out that's excellent value for money. (Just a heads-up: parking will cost about $7 extra.)

I was surprised at how large the detention facility was. The guide was very thorough in explaining things. You can also borrow audio guides in other languages ​​for free. You cannot tour the facility unless you make a reservation for the tour. I recommend making a reservation by phone.

It is such a good place to bring your kids for weekends entertainment and fun. It's free for all. The playground has a good number of playground equipment and amenities. Kids seem to love the net-house style bridge. There is wildlife around the lake - a lot of birds. But lake looks really dry on the sides except in its centre.

Great enclosed playground for all ages kids, loads of climbing things, slides, swings, sand and water play, you name it. Plenty of bbq plates and seating area too. Ours favourite has to be the flying fox!

I really love Bibra Lake Regional Playground! It’s such a peaceful place with so many fun things for kids to explore. There’s always a nice breeze from the lake and it feels relaxing just to sit and watch the children play. My kids especially love the flying fox😂 Highly recommend it to any family in Perth! 🫰🏻

Wonderful place to bring the kids! Impressive playground suitable for kids of varying ages. We spent a memorable afternoon having a picnic lunch with family and our grandson enjoying himself thoroughly.

Has to be one of the best playgrounds ever, huge with loads of activity and challenging play equipment for all ages.

The playground is huge and awesome.. You can easily spend a few hours here with your children.. Great for picnics too!

Bibra Lake Regional Playground is a beautiful place for both cycling and walking along the lake. The views across the water are stunning, making every walk feel refreshing and relaxing. The playground offers a wide range of facilities and is thoughtfully designed and well maintained, which makes it ideal for children of different ages. There are convenient public amenities available, including BBQ areas, toilets, and picnic tables, which makes it perfect for family gatherings. The area is also rich in bird life, and you can often see a huge flock of black swans gracefully swimming on the lake. An amazing spot to enjoy nature, have fun with family, and spend an active day outdoors

Please make the basketball courts 24 hours, getting a casual shoot around in is a hassle on the weekends due to how many people there are and every weekday afternoon the courts are taken up for planned events/sports. You’ll be the only high end 24hr indoor basketball centre, and I’d be willing to pay a membership for it 👍 I just wanna hoop early in the morning around 4-5am

The customer service is pleasant enough behind counter for pool entry, HOWEVER over the last 5 years visiting this place for hydrotherapy, most times we go into the disabled toilets it looks like this, and this is the cleaners, not customers doing this. Disgusting. How is a person when disabled meant to access the toilet? Even if the access was there, the lack of hygiene or lack of respect for their work as a cleaner, is evident. Please fix this. Also to maintenance ...How hard is it to buy a shower head from Bunnings that works? Not hard at all. The amount of money this place makes it's not much to spend. Step up your game and show done respect. Thank you.

So you work hard all week and the only thing you want on Saturday morning is to go for a swim and steam room. No. It's not possible. Cockburn Arc won't let you. This is because out of 8 lines in the indoor pool, 6 are closed and you are not allowed to swim there. Yeah, swimming classes only and a giant inflatable water caste. I guess it pays more to have swimming classes. Only 2 lanes are open to to us. 1 is reserved for playing and 1 is either for walking or slow swimming. So, again if you want to swim, you can't. Anyway, after enquiring about the situation at the information desk, I was told, "I understand you, you can go to swim on lane number 6" only to be kicked out by a swimming instructor 5 minutes later. The staff said, why don't you go outside to swim? Well, is June and is winter, that's why, you know? So I asked the guy at the information desk if I could please talk with his supervisor. Well.... guess what? The supervisor was on break!! Sure... silly me! So, when I asked when they will return to their break, the answer was " well I m not sure.. just hang around..." Yeah, sure..... Ah did I mention that, despite the City of Cockburn sinking millions of dollars for the redevelopment of the centre, and I am a City of Cockburn ratepayer, in addition to being unable to swim on a Saturday morning for a lack of available swimming lanes, the SPA was out for approximately 3 months this year and the steam room is still unavailable... Do you think they gave a discount for it? No. You pay the same rate but you receive half the service. Nice isn't?! When I enquired about this in the past I was told that if I didn't like it I could either cancel or suspend the membership. This is what you call a 5 star service!!!!! Well done everyone, your service and management skills are outstanding!!!

Been a member for a couple weeks now focusing on using the gym. They are in the middle of renovations and are due to close for almost two weeks so that would have been nice to know before signing up, but maybe I'm just looking for excuses to delay joining the gym. The facilities overall are pretty good and I'm excited to see how the new floor turns out. Changing rooms are good, membership fee is reasonable and you can put membership on hold for 12 weeks per year. The equipment is in good condition and the giant window let in a lot of wonderful natural light. The wristband tag for lockers and entry is good and there are wipe dispensers everywhere. But with all those wipe dispensers, requires staff who actually check them. Frequently I see them empty. A lot of the machines aren't even plugged in and the technogym integration is incredibly frustrating. So much that I don't use it. There are also a very limited number of machines and some only one of, hopefully the balance will improve. The layout is also a bit of a challenge. Overall I like it, looking forward to them refining some rough edges in the future.

I have rejoined after some time away.The new gym set up is fantastic with lots of new machines and everything you could want. Unfortunately though, there does not seem to be the same commitment to hygiene that used to be here. Lots of people now are getting around with no towel, and not wiping machines down either. I have noticed there are less staff on the floor when I go (mid-afternoon) and they seem more interested in chatting than working.

Desk staff on Saturday at 5pm 18/10 at the entrance were unhelpful and rude. I have been a gym member for almost a decade, and never encountered such rude ignorant staff. Quality of the gym has gone down over the years, but fees just keep going up. Overcrowded, not maintained properly, unclean, disorganised, courts always overcrowded with constant events taking over. No wonder 50% of people there use the courts without paying. Rude staff get anal about suspension dates with loyal paying members like me but allow non-paying non-members to just get in and use the courts without paying. Go do your actual job on the non-paying non-members and be respectful of your actual loyal members.

Have been coming here to do physio for 3+ years, and hadn't had any problems. Until getting stopped today and told they've changed the policy and the physio needs to buy a day pass now - unless they're from an affiliate organisation, of course. I've been going to the same physio company since I was 10 years old, and now they're saying it's $400 every 3 months for the privilege of being able to have someone come in and help me maintain the ability to walk. And too bad, because they had a tiny little notice on the front desk, way off to the side of the kiosks that you just buzz through to go inside - and not on the 40 screens inside the gym, where they're advertising more important things, like their new personal trainers and the extra add-ons you can pay for on top of the price of your membership. Thanks guy

Great location. Being relatively new the facility is in great condition. The ice is perfect, at least in relation to its competition, the ablutions are clean, the cafe is fairly priced and the staff are very friendly. There is a self serve DJ set up which is a great feature. This is a great location to bring your date, or kids for a great night out.

We love coming to Cockburn Ice Arena. The facilities are always clean, well looked after, and it’s such a welcoming environment. Our family attends skating lessons and competitions, and every experience has been positive. The coaches and staff are professional, supportive, and really create a great atmosphere for learning and enjoying skating. It’s clear how much effort goes into keeping everything running smoothly. Such a fantastic place for skaters of all levels. Highly recommend

Lots of fun for those with a bit if experience with oce skating. For those first timers, i recommend getting some tups or hints from someone because theres all types of skaters there - some fast that tend to stay around the middle but some hang around the wall and may not always watch out for the beginners. Last night (Friday evening) was a little crowded for a special event but not too bad. The arena is cold inside, so wear warm clothes. The Frostbite Cafe and 401 cabin is warm and great to have a bite to eat qnd something to drink. (Get in before 8:45pm and you'll be able to have something to eat and drink there.) Cabin 401 was so welcoming, nice and made so many adjustments for us. They had great customer service and the food and drinks wwre good. Our steak was large and cooked well with a really good serve of chips and large salad. It was delicious. I can't thank them enough for going out of their way for us. Thank you!! The staff at the skate hire kiosk were really helpful and seemed friendly and knowledgeable. Overall a great experience for us. The only thing I noticed that could perhaps improve was the customer service on the front desk and at frostbite Cafe and maybe check in on the beginners on the ice a bit more, but it was quite busy and late so I dont blame the staff for being tired! I dont know how they keep up with all the kids and adults alike. The games were fun for those who knew how to skate. Thanks for the good work everyone in making it fun and reasonably safe enough.

Awesome place to come for a night out doing something fun and active. Being so close to Cabin 401 gives a close and delicious dinner option for before as well. The cafe is great for a snack while skating too.

really good ice compared to the rink in malaga, and they have a warm cafeteria as well. skates might hurt your feet so make sure to buy the premium ones if you want a better experience. and wear warm clothing, like a down jacket, and warm pants, cuz it’s really cold.

It was a very quiet Monday, which is actually nice, but it takes a while until we get a staff member to let us in. The ice was smooth and the rink was spacious. It's recommended to check the time on the website before you go there because one session is 2 hours. The only regret is that we did't get the comfy skates so hubby got blisters, but I was alright. Overall we're happy with the experience .

Amazing! We travel a long distance just to attend the incredible classes here. The coaches acknowledge skill and appreciate the effort of their students. The atmosphere is so happy all the time, everyone enjoys it here. Never returning to any other ice rinks - so worth the travel!

Pretty nice place to walk around! The market’s split into two parts — one side has more products and goods, the other side is the food and wet market. The goods are mostly the usual market items, but still fun to browse. The food section is the highlight — lively atmosphere, good smells everywhere, and lots to try. Worth a visit if you’re in Fremantle!

Pretty small and not the most amazing of markets I’ve been to. There’s some food on the other section that was interesting like Burek and Tibetan but I think if you’re really tight on time you can skip this place. Only the coffee beans store I saw was truly unique. The market also has started having pop mart and labubus popping up, making it more commercial than i thought. Interestingly the urinals are pretty cool, first time I’ve seen them like this.

A must visit if in Perth. Open on weekends, this place is bursting with art, toys, food, culture, homemade craft, fun, and exudes a great family vibe. Drop by, grab a souvenir, some grub and a some lovely fruit to make your weekend perfect.

If it's your first time visiting, this iconic market must be on your list! It's a small market with local artisans. Could be crowded if you come around lunch time on a sunday. We rounded it twice, once to have an overview & the second time to buy what we wanted. The honey cake was a standout imo. It was so so good! Maybe just have a slice.. or two! We also tried Lola's giant spring roll (crispy pork) which was also good and very filling. A bit on the oily side but the vinegar and sweet chili sauce makes up for it. Perfect tasty snack!

A must-visit in Perth – full of life and local charm! Fremantle Markets is one of the best places to experience the real Perth vibe. The atmosphere is vibrant and colourful, with buskers playing music, the smell of amazing street food, and people from all over the world wandering through the old heritage halls. I loved the mix of handmade crafts, vintage clothes, Aboriginal art, fresh produce and international food stalls — there’s something new around every corner. The building itself is beautiful and full of history, which makes the visit even more special. It gets busy on weekends, but that’s part of the fun — the energy is incredible. Everyone’s friendly, the food is fresh, and the music gives it a great local feel. If you’re visiting Perth, you can’t miss Fremantle Markets. Go during the day to catch the live buskers and soak in the atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone who loves local culture, food, and good vibes!

-Nice place to visit for FREE. with a lively local vibe and lots of interesting stalls. However, it’s more of a one-time experience, once is enough. -Kindly note the trading days of this place. -There’s a toilet available, but seating areas are quite limited, so it can be tricky to find a spot to sit and eat. -Surprisingly, there weren’t as many yummy food stalls as expected. -Overall, a fun stop while in Fremantle, but not something I’d return to often.

What a bustling place this is. Full of independent and food stalls it was packed when we visited and this was only a Sunday in early Spring. It’s an historic old building worth a walk through and a browse. It was the vibrancy that struck me. Almost as manic as a Turkish Bazaar.

This is a world class museum that has been refurbished not long ago. I planned to stay there for half a day, but ended up spending a whole day there. I am glad that I visited the museum before starting my WA tour. The exhibits and the related explanation provide very comprehensive background information on the sites that I was going to visit. This made the tour so much more interesting. There is an admission fee of $15.

Great space and area to stay around for the day. The museum does a great job at utilizing architectural techniques that transforms the space into a flowing environment demonstrating and showcasing stunning and awe inspiring pieces perfectly staged within the building. Very fun for middle aged children with plenty of things to do

Loved this place Awsome day out just a short train trip from Perth city and 2x markets and restaurants close walking distance. Ferries available and large Ferris Wheel near by.

We had our Wedding here. If you’re after a beautiful, unique & aircon indoor space I would highly recommend this venue. We loved our special day so much.

If you're going to see the submarine during school holidays, book in advance. The website is terrible and hard to find booking button, so just be aware. Easiest to just google "HMAS Ovens Tour" and click first link that cones up. I had mum over from melb, and she had specific questions which the manager helped us out. He was amazing, so big thanks to the staff there. Syd who gave the submarine tour was also amazing, ex submariner who knew everything in detail. Fantastic opportunity, must do. Few tight spots and stairs though for oldies.

Very beautiful museum with lots to explore. It is a romantic place to get wedding as well.

Interesting museum if you are into all thing maritime. Entry charge + additional charge for submarine tour. No caravan parking, even parking car challenging on a Sunday! Fremantle definitely worth a walk around before or after museum.

The museum is free admission but visitors can donate to the museum. It contains histories about so many ships that got stranded along the WA and Fremantle coastline. Interesting facts and stories, it also has a Batavia shipwreck on display. The museum shop is nice as well.

A very worthwhile visit for a small donation, this museum has some very interesting history and artefacts of shipping. A fabulous book and gift shop. Get there early and snag a carpark out front and then lunch at one of the several restaurants.

Lovely exhibit. Its amazing how much care in their restoration efforts they put into all of the displays. The front desk was super helpful and made sure to let me know that admission to the museum was free. You are free to donate to the WA shipwrecks museum and it is not blatant or forced. I enjoyed the hull of a wooden ship and how you can see it from 2 levels.

COOLEST MUSEUM EVER!!! You can see an actual (partial) shipwreck with interesting commentary from different prospectives and it’s so interesting to just navigate it on your own. I loved it. Oh, and best parti is— it’s free!

It's not a terribly big museum, but it houses some pretty big broken pieces of exhibits from various ship wrecks. There are quite a few old cannons as well as small artefacts on display. The anchor that is about 2-storey high is impressive. It's worth visiting if one is in the area. Admission is free.

This place was fabulous to visit. It's free entry so no one can complain about that. So much interesting stuff to discover and see. My son loved all the models of the boats.

Fabulous museum about WA shipwreck history. Fantastic displays and recovered items. Spent about an hour and a half in their, but could be longer if you like to read everything.

This is the oldest public building in WA, built in 1830 and was originally a goal. It is free to enter but a donation is expected and they use it to maintain the building. Inside there are volunteers who will answer any questions and were helpful and friendly. You can even take that tacky photo with your head in stocks. At 1.00pm they fire the cannon and lower the time ball so worth visiting around that time. It doesn’t take long when visiting, but definitely add to your list when visiting Fremantle.

Historically significant building and if you get there at 1pm, they shoot the cannon! You can sign up inside the Round House to be the one to shoot it. The view is breathtaking!

Very windy during our weekday visit but interesting and well worth the stop.

Absolutely delightful place to visit. There are lots of facts about navigation, and I even got yo fire the cannon. Made my day🤩

Pretty cool place to visit. Do try to be there at 1pm to watch the time ball and canon. A bit of a minor workout to get to the top. About 60 steps, but definitely rewarding views.

Fremantle (commonly called “Freo” by locals) is a vibrant port city near Perth, Western Australia. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, rich history, and thriving café culture, it combines colonial-era architecture, artistic creativity, and stunning coastal views, making it one of the best places to visit near Perth. Overall, Fremantle is a charming destination with a unique mix of history, great food, and coastal beauty. Whether you’re visiting for a day or staying longer, it’s a must-see spot in Western Australia!

A great place to see some history of early wa times. It would have been a hard life in those times.

The Platter was a value for Money, it included Lobster and Oyster.. for $140, the drinks however wasn't priced before hand and it costs 6.60 each. You need to be present at the table when food has arrived otherwise the seagulls will devour it.

Nice place to chill out and have family fun. Kids get to play at playground. There's a ferris wheel. Seafood restaurants are nice. Nice view of the ocean. If you feel up to it you could take a dip in the water. We ate at kailis. You order at the counter and collect the food when ready. Food was good. I ordered from one counter and didn't realise that there were other options at the other end of the restaurant. Suggest you walk around first to see the options.

A great spot to unwind. Family-friendly with nearby playgrounds and a lively market within walking distance. Highly recommend coming on weekends.

There is so much to see and do on Fremantle’s Harbour Front. From brewery’s and restaurants. There are fabulous statues along the way including the Bon Scott statue, so keep a look out for them. There is also the I ❤️ Fremantle sign, so grab a selfie. If visiting the area, do go down and check the area out.

Be careful. The birds will eat your food!

A nice fishing harbour. Lots of restaurants and cafes. A beautiful place to visit for seafood.

Beautiful place full of live at night. Worth a visit.

Optus Stadium is widely known as one of the most modern and beautifully designed sporting venues in Australia 🏟️✨. Set along the Swan River in Perth, it stands out for its stunning architecture, open layout, and the way it blends the stadium atmosphere with scenic surroundings. Even from what you read and see, it’s clear that the planners focused heavily on comfort, crowd flow, and creating a proper world-class experience for sports and entertainment fans. Inside, the seating design is often praised for offering great views from almost every angle 👀👌🏻. The stadium is built to host cricket, AFL, concerts, and large-scale events, and the lighting system and acoustics are known to be top-tier. People often mention how smooth entry and exit are, with good connectivity, walking paths, and public transport options 🚆🚌. Food courts and amenities are modern, clean, and well spread out, making it easier to handle big crowds without chaos. Overall, even without visiting, it’s easy to see why Optus Stadium is considered one of the best multi-purpose venues in the region — a visually iconic place with strong facilities, great event management, and an impressive atmosphere from what everyone describes ✨👏🏻.

We had the stadium tour and Terri was a very nice guide. The stadium was beautiful and I hope I could come back with one day to see how it could accommodate 60000 people and host a big game. The tour allowed us to visit many sections including the vip lounge, changing room, media room, etc.

A truly fantastic stadium that gets the basics right. While the architecture and atmosphere are modern and impressive, it’s the facilities that stand out. Great variety of food, heaps of amenities/toilets, and very easy access in and out of the precinct. It sets the standard for what a modern stadium should be.

Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, is a widely praised world-class, multi-purpose venue known for its innovative "fans-first" design, state-of-the-art facilities, and scenic location on the Burswood Peninsula. Opened in 2018, it has received numerous awards, including the "Most Beautiful Sports Facility in the World" in the 2019 Prix Versailles international architecture awards.

Last minute booking to tour the stadium. Was well worth it! Tour guide was brilliant and i learnt so much. Would recommend it highly!

An excellent time spent together with friends and acquaintances, this weekend at Optus Stadium, where the derby of the season took place. The atmosphere was electric, with Fremantle Dockers facing off against West Coast Eagles in a thrilling Western Derby match. The stadium was buzzing with excitement as fans from both teams cheered on their favorites. The Dockers' recent form has been impressive, therefore they won, with a predicted margin of 60 points The event also featured a special launch of a limited-edition pie, the Slow Cooked Beef and Beer Pie, crafted specifically for local footy fans. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, with thrilling action on the field and great company off it.

Optus Stadium is a world class venue in beautiful sunny Perth WA. There’s a fantastic view from all seats with plenty of leg space and a drink holder. The atmosphere is electric and the staff are friendly and helpful. Plenty of food outlets throughout the venue on all levels. The lighting at night is spectacular as are the views of parks and the swan river outside the venue. Public Transport is free on AFL game days and is an outstanding service ! Absolutely the best Australia has to offer & cannot speak highly enough about Optus ! Great job to all involved 👌🔥👌

Really stunning view. Directly see the sunset. The beach is super clean with many seagulls

Its ok beach, get really busy at peak hours and in summer. Lots of swimmers and school swimming happens during the week. Not dog friendly. One big positive is the installation of security cameras, due to recent attacks.

First time at this part of Coogee ..beautiful scenery, enjoying the fresh sea breeze, woollies handy for snacks to eat, will be back to take it all in again.

The beach was amazing and giving good vibes. We were there enjoying sunset, sharing some good laughters and jokes and watching people as they went by. Today's beach was calm and transquil still. I was impressed by the big leveling jetty there. Really like the place!

Coogee Beach is a coastal haven. The pristine shoreline, inviting waters, and vibrant atmosphere create an ideal seaside retreat. Whether you're strolling along the scenic coast or enjoying water activities, it's a perfect destination for relaxation and fun. A coastal gem that captivates with its beauty and charm. Has a park with BBQ area and playground for children. Toilets and showers are available. Good place for have a bath as well.

Spent the day here eating picnic, playing Frisbee and having a swim.... The place was clean (apart from a couple of potty mouths) easy to park and a very short walk to the beach, toilets were clean and well stocked.

Such a beautiful beach in Perth .... A beautiful place to jump inside the water and have fun with friends . It also has a park and a lawn to rest

I have been to this wonderful establishment numerous times with both my friends and family. The time and talent gone into each glow room is extraordinary 🤌🏻✨ the artist really found a way to confuse and warp the mind with optical illusions and their realistic talent. It honestly does not get enough hype for how good it is and how long each individual room would have taken to create. Hats 🎩 off to its marvellous creator 👑🌹✨ This place is definitely worth visiting. I think there's 18 or 20 holes? Each one has its own little spin for you, some literally 😉😛 They also offer a grand section of munchies and drinks. The place has some other awesome features such as karaoke 🎤, virtual reality escape rooms and more ☺️ I would highly recommend this place for a date with your partner, day out with the kids or even just to escape with your friends. The only thing I had trouble with was the feeling of the glasses over my glasses 😂 but that's normal. Also peep at the Alice in wonderland themed art on the way to the bathrooms, I'm in love.

Had the best time playing golf at glowing rooms! Definitely recommend as a perfect date activity or just to have some fun with mates! The staff are so friendly and fun and love that you can have a drink while playing! The artwork is super cool too and the artist is incredibly talented! Kudos to his hard work!

Four of us went 2nd time there. We enjoyed it again. Only downside they might consider concession discount for card holders .

Absolutely fantastic. The staff were so friendly and the artistry of the golf room was absolutely mind blowing. The golf was so much fun. Would definitely recommend this to anyone. 🙏🙏 Had the absolute best time! Fantastic tunes and drinks too. Great for a giggle and a good bit of fun

The neon 3D art in the Glow Rooms is INCREDIBLE! Photos truly don’t do it justice. An awesome mini golfing experience that I would definitely recommend. Just don’t forget your ID if you want to enjoy an alcoholic drink because they will check (my bad!).

A super cool place with thoughtful design! Besides mini golf, you can also enjoy karaoke and table tennis. They offer simple meals, ice cream, and drinks—all prepared with care. It’s a perfect spot for family outings or gatherings with friends.

The artwork is amazing. Had lots of fun playing mini golf with my friend, would definitely love to come back for a rematch. It would be handy if the edges/outside of each of the 18 lanes? were painted with luminous paint so they are more visible (I tripped over one and broke my toe on Saturday). I love that you can order drinks/cocktails while you're playing and get them delivered in there (not why I tripped, I was driving 😀). Would be a great place for a birthday party. Quite busy and loud, but that adds to the fun atmosphere. I had no problem wearing the 3D glasses over my usual spectacles but my friend found it a bit bulky/heavy so contacts might work better for some. The ladies working there were upbeat and fun. A bit disappointed they don't have the VR escape room option anymore, as it's still on the website. But well worth a visit for the golfing anyway.

A pretty good place to soak in the views and while your time away. My kids had a great time with this and were wanting a 2nd round. Costs us 54 total for 2A 2C and coming at 530pm was a good choice. Lovely sunset view. I guess it's even nicer if we come at 630pm. Great amazing views

How amazing is this Ferris wheel, the best time to come is sunset or evening. Always play good tunes when you go around. I could just sit outside and watch it go around all night. Very safe and recently refurbished, will visit again.

We did this as a bit of fun while holidaying. $15 for an adult with a stop at the top and you get 5 full rounds. Gorgeous views of Freo and will say if you're afraid of heights it's quite high with clear plastic all around you. I found it quite comfortable after an initial moment of anxiety. Worth it for the views and memories.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful. A little Romantic idea for date night.❣️. *It's very Cheap. *You can request your own Gondola / Cabin / basket / Pod , whatever you want to call it. *Beautiful after dark, with all the city lights.

A fun ride even for those who have phobia with heights and speeds! The rides were enjoyable, and the view of the boats and Indian Ocean behind were amazing!

Great experience to get on the Ferris wheel if you’re at Fremantle area. You’ll get 5-6 rounds with each ride and there’s even a family package for tourists. You’ll be able to get super shots on top throughout the day with the blue sky as the background. Best time to go is during evening time before the sun sets. A must visit for everyone who’s in Fremantle! If it’s built higher I’ll give it a 5.

A wheel that goes very slow. It didn't realistically worth the $$ that we pay for. Views from the top is nice. Support staff who book people in was helpful and pleasant on the day we visited. Cabin's are safe.

Kings Park and Botanic Garden is a vast park in Perth with an adjoining botanical garden. I visited Perth mainly to see the wildflowers in spring, which are famous here. During my three days in Perth, I came to Kings Park all three days. Although the weather wasn’t great for the first two days, the final day was sunny and bright, and I was able to see many plants shining beautifully in the sunlight. The park is very large, and walking around the entire area requires some stamina, but the Botanic Garden section is a comfortable size to explore on foot. I realized that many of the “wildflowers” here are actually well-maintained and cultivated under the management of the garden — not truly wild in the sense of untouched nature. It was a bit unexpected, but I appreciated the care and effort put into preserving and showcasing so many native plants in one place. Since the park sits on a hill, the view of the city is also beautiful. It’s a relaxing place for both tourists and locals alike. You can easily reach Kings Park by taking the free Perth BLUE CAT bus, which is very convenient for visitors since the regular bus system requires a transport card or exact cash.

Amazing old trees with many different varieties and every corner well maintained. Very long track all around with lovely view points on the city and south perth. Lots of historic monuments with descriptions, even for many trees! Like the huge Eucalyptus tree planted by the Queen 75 yrs ago! It's a huge magnificent one with a trunk of I guess more than +1500mm of diameter. I recommend having a walk through this lovely park.

This place is a blessing in Perth. So close to the city and extremely accessible. Would be a great day out for a picnic or a nice stroll. Plenty of parking or take a free public transport from the city. Enjoy the native flora and fauna while you have your picnic or social catch up in the park or one of the restaurants.

We walked around the park for 4 hours and still didn't cover half of it. The look outs, tree top walk, the gardens, the walks are all amazing. Perth really has outdone itself and this place is definitely a gift to the locals and visitors.

A must visit when in Perth, with a hilltop view of the city and nice walks along the trails. A couple of highlights include the glass bridge, the memorial and the water gardens. There’s also a fancy cafe serving delicious food and iced coffee and a gift shop and information center, which is a good place to cool down after walking the trails.

King Park is huge! The botanical garden is organized well, showing the plant life sorted by the different areas of Western Australia. It is amazing that the botanical garden is so big and well maintained. Be aware there is a lot of walking and some steep hills and areas in the park. Be sure to landmark your car or exit though, it easy to lose your bearings.

It’s a well known park with lots of flowers and biodiversity. It’s quite popular with families and couples and felt relatively safe when I went. It was the perfect picnic spot and a great place to watch the sunset. However, this time of year there were a lot of flies and be careful of the magpies and ducks trying to steal food! :D

A very informative and interesting place to visit. We did the mint tour, shout out to our guides Nicole and Dakota, they were very knowledgeable, professional and engaging. We loved the interactive activities but the highlight was definitely the 1 tonne coin. Worth a visit.

The tour was fantastic, seeing Sophie pouring molten gold to form an ingot was something I'll remember for a long time. among the other highlights was the giant 1 tonne $,1000,000 gold coin, with a current value of $214,000 000, and the chance to lift a 2.4 kilo gold bar if you're in Perth a tour of the mint truly is a must

I came here to pick up my gold ⚱️I didn’t expect it to be this pretty! The place is beautiful and full of history. I love how the gold bars have the kangaroo design on them, it’s so cute and uniquely Australian!! 🦘😍 The staff were also very friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely keep ordering my gold here! ✨

$25 fee is well worth. You xan see a 1 tone gold coin, the 7th biggest gold nugget in the world, you have feel the weight of a 12.4kg gold bar, a show to make a gold bar, and a coin souvenir. Absolutely awesome. You can buy a personalized silver coin for $99.

We really loved the tour. There is not much too see if you don’t pay to join the guided tour, which is about 22 dollars or so, but it’s money well spent, and you will get the chance to see the 1 tonne $,1000,000 gold coin! My parents enjoyed the show (the tour guide will melt the gold in front of you) as well :)

A wonderful tour particularly with showing how the Gold Bar was made. A good place for tourists of all ages to go too.

Great place to visit. They have a large range of coins/bullion/jewellery for purchasing, the tour was fantastic and the staff were friendly. The toir sold out so im so thankful i pre booked online i would highly recommend this to anyone

Beautiful seaside microbrewery perfect for family & kids! Wonderful service by Ciro the pizza chef whom gave my little one some pizza dough to play with! Great pizza and beers! Awesome experience and if you are lucky, you can spot some dolphins swimming around in the sea too!

We visited quite a few breweries around Western Australia and our favourite is the Hazy Lager from Little Creatures. The atmosphere is relaxing. Besides the beers, we also enjoyed the mussels. The portion is decent for two and the taste is amazing.

Came here with my sister. It was super busy. Lots of people but we managed to snag a table upstairs. We didn't tour the brewery only stopped for a glass of vino as Little Creatures was recommended to us. Did not disappoint. Recommended

I visited both Little Creatures Brewery, Fremantle and Gage Roads Freo Brewery. Unfortunately, the day I visited Little Creatures Brewery was overcast and chilly, which made the terrace seating virtually impossible to enjoy. As a result, my overall satisfaction was higher at Gage Roads Freo Brewery, but Little Creatures Brewery, Fremantle is still a thoroughly enjoyable venue. The high-ceilinged pub area, which includes an open kitchen, was a great spot. I enjoyed an excellent tap beer, along with a pizza recommended by the staff, for dinner. They also sell canned beers and merchandise if you are looking for souvenirs. While it took a little while, I was able to order and happily drink a total of three different beers—I chose the smallest size for each. I can only imagine my experience would have been even better on a sunny day, so I felt a bit unlucky with the weather. Nonetheless, this is a brewery well worth visiting.

First time visiting a brewery, it is pretty impressive. If you like to enjoy the view, go up to the second floor. Did the beer tasting tray, i would recommend the bigger tray, it is more worthwhile. Little creatures beer in general is not bad. I just felt the merchandises were too expensive. Even if i wanted to buy as a souvenir, i would think twice.

Used to come here alk the time as a kid with my family! Amazing environment and super kind staff! However i ordered the cheeseburger and it came a little soggy and was super drenched by the time i had taken 2 bites. Other than that the burger tasted great, the pizza was amazing, and the fries were perfect!!

Great spot for dinner and drinks. We went Saturday night and couldn't fault anything. Both our pizzas were delicious, chips were also a must! Beers and drinks were very good (brewed in-house, which is always a bonus). We really enjoyed the music and atmosphere. It did seem like a shorter menu than usual (I believe a few more options would be better). Overall staff were friendly and we will definitely be back!

It is a great place especially for young children. Big and spacious all around. Huge grasslands for them to run around to expend their energy. There’s also a cafe and a playground for children of different ages to rest and enjoy A wide variety of animals, animal enclosures were all well designed to provide the best viewing experience knowing that animals don’t stay put at one place, there are different angles in enclosures for viewing

Would have been 5 stars HOWEVER it was a very rude shock to find that the drinks vending machine that advertised 600ml drinks as being $5 has actually also charged me a $3 service fee PER DRINK. Drinks should be advertised as $8 if it's going to cost me $8. Outrageous vending machine charge aside, we had an absolutely wonderful day at the perth zoo. There is way too much glass/perspex. This stuff is so hard to see and photograph through😭😭. There were a number of animals we were unable to see but that's how zoos are. It's a beautiful zoo to walk around, the grounds are well established, well maintained and absolutely gorgeous. The paths are pretty easy to follow and animal placement makes sense. I love the rainforest - where the deep dark wood is at the moment - so so pretty. My son loved the suspension bridge. He also loved the playground and the gruffalo trail. The new monkey towers/ropes near the main grass area is fantastic and i bet the monkeys love it too. The reptile house is incredible. The nocturnal house however - it was soooo hard to see anything at all. It was just too dark. We've been to a lot, unfortunately perth, yours is a miss - hopefully it's in the pipeline to be updated like your reptile house obviously has been. Lunch was pricey and tbh not fantastic. I don't know why zoos can't make good food!?!?! And $7 for a golden gaytime🤯🤯. But at least there hasn't been a $3 service fee chucked on that one - yet. Every staff member we came in contact with was brilliant. I'm really happy you still give out paper maps too - so so so much easier than telling us to look on our phone, in the sun, when you can't see the screen. Also, kids like having the map. We were at the zoo from 10am-4:30pm. Saw everything but the Australian animals (we went to a wildlife park yesterday so figured we could safely skip that bit to save time) and had a thoroughly wonderful time. That charge has left a sour taste in my mouth though.

Kids thoroughly enjoyed it! Solid day out, lots to see and you really never know what's around the corner. Clean and tidy, great facilities! Feeding the animals and talks given by the staff made an interesting, educational trip worth while! Thank you Perth Zoo

Spent almost a full day there. Kids love it as animals got pretty up close. Actually think it's better than many other zoos as you're literally next to the animal, such as the penguins. Gibbons were the best and highlight of the day, swinging all over the park for our viewing pleasures. There's also a sheltered quiet area for resting while you sit there and watch the Gibbons rest play and do their thing. Toilets were clean and lots of water refill sections. And the massive playground just next to the cafe was a bonus where you could watch the kids while eating.. and lots of birds to chase for kids. Just make sure you don't step on their poop or get chased/swopped by them if you're having food. Love the zoorasic enclosure too, kids can try to paleontologist while parents rest.

Great well-kept, wide variety of animals, reptiles and birds. Would be amazing if there were more opportunities for interactions like animal feeding. The cafe and play area is always busy. The current dinosaur display is pretty cool!

Perth zoo has Great areas like the cafe and surrounding areas, dinosaurs, reptiles & penguin enclosure. But pretty much every other enclosure was dated, unmaintained, poorly designed for veiwing ( nocturnal house is the worst )the actual animal and hadn't changed since my last visit 11years ago. Other community funded zoos like Rockhampton Qld put it to shame and their free entry! I'll be back a few more times this year to enjoy the zoo and hopefully see some of the animals that were off display or invisible.

Great visit! Parking was easy, no queue at the entrance, and the zoo was clean and well-maintained. Plenty of spacious areas for a picnic. Overall a lovely day out!

We had such a lovely time at Elizabeth Quay today. The kids first had fun at the Island Playground, exploring, climbing, and playing to their hearts’ content. After that, they cooled off and splashed around at the Water Playground, which was the perfect way to enjoy the warm day. We then took a nice stroll along the quay, soaking in the beautiful city skyline and peaceful river views. It was such a refreshing outing – full of fun for the kids and relaxation for us.

A stunning waterfront development on Perths Swan River this quay is encased by bars, restaurants and apartments. It’s not overly large but does give a nice backdrop to the city skyline. Nice just to sit and people watch or to enjoy a drink or too. Nicely done.

It is highly recommended to visit Elizabeth Quay in the late afternoon when the orange sunlight reflects beautifully off the glass buildings, and also at night when the city lights illuminate the skyline. The view is stunning. There are many food stalls, and I can relax while enjoying the evening atmosphere by the edge of the Swan River.

This place is a haven for personal relaxation, offering a sense of calm and tranquility that truly helps me unwind. With its stunning and serene scenery, it's a perfect backdrop for quiet reflection. For those who enjoy being active outdoors, it's well-suited for running, biking, or just a gentle walk. Do note that most shops and restaurants in the area close their doors around 6 PM.

Lovely Quayside. Modern and clean. Several coffee shops, restaurants and bars. All good quality with extensive menus. Also come here to book tickets to Rottnest island and fabulous day out to a beautiful island with the cutest animal the Quokka. All outlets on the pier open early about 7.30/8.00am. high recommended for a relaxing beverage either a cold beer or a wide selection of beers

Beautiful waterfront. Quite a few restaurants and cafes. Still some areas under development but worth a visit. Lovely walking track and bridge along the water

Elizabeth Quay is a scenic harbourfront with modern office towers, dining spots, and plenty of space for a leisurely walk. From here, you can catch the ferry to South Perth in just 10 minutes, making it a great half-day experience when combined with a riverside stroll or meal. Walking across the Elizabeth Quay Bridge and then hopping on the ferry offers some of the best views of the city and river. The ideal times to visit are early morning before lunch or in the late afternoon towards dinner. Do note the area is open and unsheltered, so it can feel quite hot during the day.

Scitech is simply superb for kids of all ages! My children had a great time exploring, and even toddlers would find plenty to enjoy. The interactive activities are both fun and educational. We especially loved the chemistry experiment – the way it was presented and explained was excellent. The planets show was also fascinating and very informative. Highly recommend for a family day out!

Scitech in West Perth is a fantastic destination for families and science enthusiasts alike. The interactive exhibits cover a wide range of scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, and technology. The planetarium offers immersive shows that captivate audiences of all ages. While some exhibits could benefit from updates, the overall experience is both educational and entertaining. It's a great place to spark curiosity and inspire learning in a fun environment.

We love visiting Scitech as there is much to see and learn. As a Homeschooling family we have opted for a yearly membership and will now visit weekly.

Great variety of shows and activities for toddlers. And the membership is good value. We’ll be back. Would be good is they could seperate school incursions from all coming into the toddlers / young children area at once as it’s a bit intense for the little kids.

Was disappointed. I went years ago, in the 90s and it was awesome, but today it was like just kindy stuff and a few buttons to push where nothing exciting happened. Miss 7 year old wanted to leave after 10 minutes of trying to find something interesting. The planetarium was ok, but was hoping for something fun and exciting to watch. The solar system theme was interesting but it went on too long and rather repetitive. Sorry.

I haven’t been to scitech for almost a year. The shows are still great and I always enjoy funny interactions of the show in Science theatre.

Thought this might be a good stop for an hour or two, but ended up staying 3-4 hours! This place has a huge amount to explore for the kids, prompting lots of scientific questions and teaching them new things outside their normal curriculum. The planetarium show (only 10 minutes) was absolutely brilliant for all ages, and both our kids learned a lot from this short show, and enjoyed it thoroughly! Activities were broad, and included building cars to race down a ramp, controlling robots, or going in a small wind tunnel! A few options for parking, and recommended to get 2-3+ hours if possible.

My Feelings at Sunday Morning Mass at the Cathedral in Western Australia On Sunday morning, I went to Mass at the big church in Western Australia. The church is very beautiful and quiet. When I walked in, I felt very peaceful. The light came through the windows, and I heard the bell ring. People sat quietly and prayed. The Mass was very special. The priest spoke clearly and slowly. Everyone stood, sat, and knelt at the right time. I liked how people prayed together. The music was very nice. The choir sang very well. Their voices were soft and beautiful. The songs helped me feel close to God. I felt calm and happy. After the Mass, I went home with peace in my heart. I thanked God for this Sunday. It was a good and holy morning.

I visited whilst a friend was having surgery- it was so peaceful & comforting. So beautiful. Whilst there, I lit a candle in remembrance of my Mum. Wheelchair/ pram / walker accessible.

Very good ambience and peaceful environment. The cathedral is open during the day and visitors can spend quality time inside the church. Architecture is unique and definitely one of the well maintained churches in Perth.

Attended the candlelight: featuring Mozart, Bach and timeless composers inside this beautiful cathedral. Only an hour long with no break or intermission. Very relaxing indeed

Candlelight concert at St Mary’s Cathedral was visually and acoustically mesmerising. Classical music played beautifully letting the spirit soak up the magic. Highly recommend

Candlelight at Saint Mary’s Cathedral was the perfect venue to listen Mozart, Bach and many others. Fever Candlelight, set the mood with hundreds of candles creating the perfect atmosphere.

I attend catechism classes and Sunday Mass at St Mary’s Cathedral, and every visit is a wonderful experience. The priests are incredibly kind, welcoming, and always make you feel at ease. There’s such a peaceful atmosphere in the cathedral — it truly feels like a place where you can reflect, learn, and connect spiritually. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a genuine and uplifting church community in Perth.

Looks like a giant metal noodle and feels like a leg workout you didn’t sign up for. Climb to the top and you’ll see trees. Lots of trees. That’s pretty much it. There’s also a water tap on the ground nearby, which feels like a reward for surviving the stairs. 10/10 for cardio, 5/10 for excitement.

I enjoyed sunset on the top of the tower and it was absolutely stunning. If you are afraid of height, don't recommend to go up as it gets slightly shaken by wind and other people going up and down, other than that, 100% recommend to experience :)

I think there are 101 steps and the height gives quite an extensive view in most directions. Enjoyed the challenge of the walk up and down and was worth the visit. Beautiful day helped as quite exposed from the open design. Engineering wonderful too.

DNA Tower is one of the well-known landmarks within Kings Park and Botanic Garden. The spiral structure is interesting, and climbing it can be fun. However, the view from the top is rather limited — the city skyline is quite distant, and the opposite side mainly overlooks open fields. In fact, the tower might look more impressive from the outside than from the top. It’s a pleasant stop if you have extra time, but not a must-visit spot. Worth seeing once, as long as you keep your expectations modest.

It’s been a whilst since I have been here and wow didn’t disappoint. Adequate parking and relatively good views. Sadly as time has gone along the trees have grown and blocked some of the views it would be fair to say in 50 years or so there will be no views.

It’s a great place to explore. I really enjoyed the view from the top—especially the long path stretching out in front of it.

A quirky tower in Kings Park. I climbed the 101 stairs (yes I counted) as a personal goal. Great views over the park and city from the top.

Took the time to visit Boola Bardip Museum and by chance they had a special exhibit of the Qin terracotta warriors. It was a very well presented exhibit with a very beautiful, very serene visual representation of the proposed afterlife of the emperor. Following that the museum was very informative with the specifics of WA and the geology of the area and the mineral rich land it occupies. If you have the time it is worth a visit.

Went to the terracotta warriors exhibition and it was fabulous. Highly recommend. It is mainly self guided with a small video at the beginning but the entire exhibition was stunning. We also paid extra to have access to entire museum and there was some beautiful exhibits about Australian people and wildlife. The museum was done up recently and it is very beautiful taking parts of old architecture and letting it peak through into the new. Spent $37 dollars each for terracotta and entire museum and spent the entire day there with no restrictions. We paced ourselves and enjoyed each exhibit without any issues. Also easily gotten to from transportation the Perth underground is a 5 minute walk and there is plenty other things to do in the area.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the Terracotta Warriors exhibition at WA Museum was way more impressive than I imagined. Seeing these ancient warriors up close was mind-blowing — the details and history behind them are just incredible. The exhibition is laid out really well, with lots of interesting info and interactive displays that make the whole experience come alive. It’s not too crowded, photos are allowed, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. If you’re in Perth, this is definitely something you shouldn’t miss — I left feeling like I’d just travelled back in time to ancient China!

Great museum with plenty of interactive parts to keep the kids entertained throughout. We were luckily enough to visit when the Teracota Warriers were on display which was amazing to learn about and see. We really enjoyed our visit.

Took the grandchildren to see the Terracotta Warriors exhibition. What a sight to see these 2000 yr. old soldiers and horses plus lots of other artefacts. I recommend going to see it for yourself. I've only included a few photos so as not to spoil it for you. And it was really well run by very helpful staff. Also has a gift shop.

WA Museum Boola Bardip is an incredible cultural and educational destination in the heart of Perth. The exhibits are beautifully curated, interactive, and thoughtfully tell the stories of Western Australia’s history, people, and natural environment. The modern design and spacious layout make it easy and enjoyable to explore, with something fascinating for all ages. A must-visit attraction that truly showcases the spirit of WA!

Recently saw the Terracotta Warriors and have seen several different exhibitions over the years. You can tell they take pride in thier work. Always a great day at the museum, and my kids love it too.

Beautiful building a location, with some beautiful artworks but lacking some information and very small. Nice to visit if you’re in the area but wouldn’t make a special trip for it

The buildings are beautiful and very photographic. The building was once an insane asylum with the plaque on the outside near the road which looks like no one goes often. At the time of visit the exhibition was very small and I didn’t appreciate it, but others may. The gift shop had some really cool stuff in it and the staff were really friendly. When chatting to them they were telling us about past events which sounded like fun so the score may reflect on the day we visited. You don’t need my time to visit and it is free to enter.

It’s a free and fun visit for younger children. A few arts are quite good and creative, but most are just average for our taste. There are definitely good artists out there worth displaying and shared.

A thoroughly enjoyable visit. The Huxleys exhibit was provocative, colourful and engaging. We also enjoyed live music and a stroll around the beautiful grounds. The building itself is worth a visit. Free entry. Friendly staff. What more could you ask for?

Gallery was closed for installations. But the artists' shop was brilliant. Beautiful work! Also the 'Plated' cafe was delightful with the shaded courtyard. We had a wonderful tasty feta, pumpkin and spinach muffin with iced coffee and a chai latte. All were excellent. Despite not seeing into the gallery, the old building and atmosphere was worth a visit.

Lovely place. Exterior is very beautiful like a piece of history in modern times. Interior was well maintained and furnished. The art show was good. Sitting at the court yard with a nice hot long back and the sun shining on your face during Spring is an amazing feeling :)

Totally lovely place. Offer kids art courses and yum food. Bring extra cash for the art shop as goods are pricy. Great space for kiss. Gallery is free. Bring your own picnic and go for a walk around the property. Great place of peace.

I walked all the way to Wadjemup Lighthouse from the port on Rottnest Island. I didn't use a bicycle, only trekking. It takes a bit of time to get here, but the path was pleasant and well-suited for a trek. As a prominent landmark on the island, the lighthouse was a clear goal and destination for my walk. I was quite tired from the walk, so I took a moment to rest on a bench. The cool breeze was very refreshing. Since the lighthouse is located on high ground, you look down towards the port, and the scenery is also excellent.

it was such a tiring ride on bike but deffo worth every sweat! the view was astonishing, please don’t forget to wear your sunscreen and REAPPLY! wear hats and polar sunglasses as well, it was a bit cold and windy when we visited but the UX index was 9 🤣

This is a fantastic structure to visit and especially do the guided tour and climb the stairs case. The Mercury bath alone at the top is worth seeing just to see how the massive lens and apparatus floats to allow it to rotate easily. The view of the entire island can be seen out on the walkway. Well worth the visit, ride your bike up the driveway if you can!!

Amazing views of Rottnest. We weren't able to climb it on our trip but looked amazing and look forward to doing this in the future. Coffee can nearby with lots of drink/snacks when needed

The lighthouse was a 5 minute walk from the bus stop. Lovely views of the island from the carpark next to the lighthouse. Shame you had to pay $24 for a family to go into the lighthouse.

Beautiful operational lighthouse and well worth doing the free tour with the volunteer guides. We visited in August which is the low season, so very easy and no crowds.

I was completely captivated by the lighthouse tour on Rottnest Island! Beyond learning about the lighthouse’s fascinating history, I also discovered so many intriguing stories about the island and its adorable quokkas. The panoramic views from the top were simply breathtaking, and the tour guides made every moment memorable. If you’re looking for an adventure that blends incredible scenery with local legends, don’t miss this tour—it’s an absolute must-do!

This is a mega cool space to spend some hours! You can learn a lot about the nature and animals as there are signs all around. The playground spaces are very fun and natural. It is great to have some water to play with too. Everything is well kept. There are toilets 🚻 but no bins. You also can't have picnics inside. Open 9am-4pm Tuesday to Sunday

Beautiful park just next to the city centre. Jogged here, so there was a steep slope uphill. Enjoy commanding views of the Swan River and the city. Beautifully manicured garden throughout. There are many points to take wefies with the skyline in the background. You can picnic on the lawn. A must go for visitors to Perth. Thumbs up!

I love the place myself, my kid enjoyed it, he loved the nature skills. Luckily, I brought extra clothing for my kid, he got wet playing on the water.

A great place for families to explore nature and play with an adventure setting just in the heart of Perth. It's free entry and plenty of parking.

Beautiful park with play area, climb structure and lots of birds just for the kids to enjoy their free time in the day. Weather was great in September, not crowded even with the school visits.

Took my 3yrs old grandson here. The Natursecape suited him much more than structured playgrounds. Climbing over boulders and up irregular climbing frames challenged and inspired him. I had to clamber along behind him to ensure his safety but his joy at the adventure made it all worthwhile. It’s a cleverly designed adventure space that has something for all aged kids. It’s well shaded and the running water makes for a calm place to sit and enjoy all the space has to offer.

What a fabulous place! My grandchildren absolutely loved it. They're 3 and 1 and had a great time playing in the water and exploring the park. Naturescape is a very apt name. I can't wait to take them back when they're older, when they'll be able to access even more of the park's facilities.

Lovely beach on Rottnest. Worth the walk or ride

Great spot. You don’t really see much of the rest of the island from there so you can feel like you’re escaping everybody else. Plus there’s a cool sand dune you can climb.

Beautiful and only 20 mins to get to by bike from Thompson Bay

Beautiful, quiet, little piece of paradise

Not too far out, great for a dip.

Most amazing and beautiful beach I've ever been to. Sand is really nice and there is a small sand dune. Water is beautiful and good deepth for snorkeling but very nice for swimming

Perfect secluded place to swim and snorkel. Amazing sandy beach where you relax or do some sliding.

Vibrant and inviting. A hive of activity with a feel good buzz, the vibe can get electric. Awesome restaurants, bars and entertainment. Have a photo with Uncle while you're there too, can't miss him standing tall and proud watching over everyone

This was an amazing and memorable moment the night our 120 children affected by cancer was displayed proudly at Yagan Square. Seeing my beautiful angel, Leon whom we devastatingly lost on the 07/11/2024. Forever in my heart & mind sweetheart, untill we meet again I n heaven.

A lively and modern spot in the heart of Perth! It’s a great place to walk around, relax, or meet friends. There are cafés, food options, and nice open areas to sit. The design is interesting and connects well with the city’s culture. It can get a bit busy sometimes, but overall it’s a great place to visit and enjoy the city atmosphere.

The most vibrant place of CBD. People take a pause while rushing for life. Perth station is just a nearby place. Perth busport just beside. This is the heart of all communications.

Good place in the heart of Perth. ECU building is nearly completed!

What a great place to visit, very well done and such a great vibe.

We stumbled upon this spot by chance and were pleasantly surprised. The area features a modern building design filled with a variety of restaurants and bars. We decided to stop for a beer and really enjoyed the vibe. It’s definitely worth visiting for a stroll and some great photo opportunities!

A library located in the city centre of Perth. The architecture is incredible, and the design is very aesthetic, with lots of cool spots to take aesthetic photos. There are plenty of book options from variety of categories to choose from. The library also has 5 floors, with variety of spots you prefer to read books or do some work. However, the place might not be fully cool and it can be slightly hot. But overall, this is a must-visit, especially with its nice architecture.

When visiting new cities we generally pop in to the state libraries to see their collections and you can really find some amazing hidden gems, not so for the City of Perth Library as it is just a library. So if you are looking for somewhere quiet and to get a book to read, this is your place.

City of Perth library have great facilities for families. We mainly visit level 4, the children’s level. They have a great variety of children’s/teens books, with lots of space to sit and read. They also have a little outdoor area with a lovely tree and views of the river. There are also toilets with baby change tables.

Beautiful library, I really like that they have a dedicated space for young people, where older people can visit but are asked not to stay. The artwork is lovely and the architecture too! it’s very easy to navigate.

Stopped by for a short visit to see the interesting architecture and wow, I wished I had some time to really find a space to sit down and enjoy the area. It's very spacious and each level has a unique space to explore, be it a small space with trees or little rooms and study nooks.

I have an interview and I dont have a job. Apparently,I have to pay for their meeting rooms just to attend interview and it is quite expensive. While, student's study rooms are free and all of them were empty. But, I dont fit in their age criteria. How this adding value to a local workforce? On top! They dont have free wifi. You have to rely on perth free wifi with just 2gb limit which is normally available for tourists to find maps as 2gb is very less.

great exterior, and amazing interior - i love this library, not just for the books (obviously) but the atmosphere inside. quiet calm and serene, and not as noisy as some other libraries. pretty good collection of books (of the genres i read) are available - and their new books section is very good. love their "book bags", which is a collection of books in a bag you can grab to "surprise" you. and they have a really good collection of graphic novels you can read or flip through to pass the time. friendly and very helpful staff here too. their app though, at first glance, looks "amateurish" - but it's actually pretty good, functionally.

Rich history of the evolution of the fire service in Perth. Good for educational visits

Amazing place to visit, volunteer staff where friendly and knowledgeable. My 2year old loved the fire engines and dressing up in the uniform. Worth a trip.

It's a family-friendly and very informative place to visit. It's free entry with exhibition and activity. The fire engine is there for you and the children to explore. You can even put on the gears. Children love it so much. Thanks to all the volunteers.

We randomly stopped as we were visiting the area and man, we were not disappointed. The building is beautiful inside and out and our guide Randall was the very best 😊 We were told lots of fascinating history but also funny stories about the fire fighters. Can't wait for my son to be old enough to bring him there, dress up and hop on the truck for a great picture. Also and for working parents, the place is open the first and third Saturday of every month 👌🏽

Such an amazing place! took our son for his birthday (3rd) and his little brother. They absolutely loved it and we did it too! the place is so interesting and the staff went the extra mile to make sure he was having an unforgettable time. Thanks to Suzette and the crew 😀 we should be back soon

Great place to take whoever loves fire engines! The educational exhibition helps us understand the historical natural hazards and the efforts of rescue authorities. Kids were extremely happy at climbing up a real fire trucks in a helmet and costume!

Really great place to learn about fire engines. There is a fire truck for adults and kids to sit in and experience dressing up like one too. It is a small place and can go round the whole place in 30 min. There is a play area for kids to read and colour in. The whole place is run by volunteers and they do a fantastic job.

This is literally my weekend must go park :) Very family friendly, there’s a couple of BBQ areas, kids playgrounds, a small basketball court, nice tracks for walking/running/cycling around the lake. People also often walk dogs at park. And even better, there’s a big ladder for everyone to climb, leading to a beautiful ocean view at the top.

i love parks, and this might be the best in Perth. beautiful natural setting, great playground, nice toilets, drink fountains, pathways, amazing!

Amazing spot for a walk. Family could have a barbecue here, and the kids have plenty of playgrounds to play in. Highly recommend this place. Before the summer dries up all the water.

A couple of playgrounds around the lake, toilets, easy parking, large grass areas and a variety of walking/running tracks with great ocean views.

I had no idea how good Manning Park was! It's like a small King's Park tucked away in Spearwood/Hamilton Hill. Beautiful lake, lawns, walking paths, climb to a lookout that sees out over Cockburn sound the hills and beyond. Definitely going back

I spent almost 6-7 hrs in this park almost 3/4 days a week with my daughter. Such a lovely place with Azelia Ley Homestead Museum. Best and clean, Play ground with clean rest rooms. The trail and look out is awesome… Dogs are allowed on leash and all are friendly. Good for picnic, with BBQ area and picnic table.

Lovely Park. Great for big and small, dig and Yoga lovers. The Lake is 1.6km long so nice for a short with smaller kids or dog. The top of the stairs offer a great view over coogee beach and the lake. Tons of BBQ, drink fountains, toilets and playgrounds as well as a basketball hoop and space yo kick a footie. Lots of parking. CAREFUL there is absolutely no light so if you want run or climb I'm the dark bring a head light.

Hidden gem in WA. Great place to look back in time and read what life was like in the early days.

Interesting place nice to see the old homestead , great to show children.

Lovely spot! Although some old guy who works there, followed us around and didn't talk to us at all. It made my kids feel uncomfortable. Besides that, it was a great day to explore and then have a picnic.

Beautiful buildings displaying a great collection of local history in superb surroundings

Wow! A very interesting museum with many artefacts. I’d highly recommend this place for school excursions!!

Enjoyable day visit.interesting on history of area

Very good range of items on display that show Cockburns beginngs.

Bloody good trek up the stairs, cool spot if you want to get in a bit of exercise and the views at the top are amazing!

I used to incorporate leg day at Manning Stairs into my training. Don't do it at night as you can't see and fall over. Enjoy and push it hard at your own pace. Great place to train hard.

There a few benches for rest points along the stairs. Tell us how many stair cases from the bottom start to the highest points. Take care! (2025-10)

Great sunset hiking track with views from the top overlooking the old Fremantle power station and amazing sunsets

Great space for a bit of morning exploring. The stairs are a great warm up and the surrounding area has heaps of casual walking routes to explore. The view from the top is nice, looking out to port Coogee and the sea.

Great spot for a late afternoon jog or some early morning fitness routines. The stairs are challenging and serve as a great method of high intensity training. The views up top are stunning - sweeping over Coogee Beach and the Indian Ocean. Watch out for snakes in the summer months.

Nicely constructed limestone steps visually beautiful park and steps, beaut for outdoor exercise :)

As a part of my Sperm Donation Australia tour, stopped by here in my ride around the island. Got to say this was a beautiful spot and enjoyed checking out the surrounding views.

This beautiful beach is the 1st stop of my cycling trip at Rottnest island. The water was great and I badly wanted to go for a swim. But I didn't go for a swim because I had only one day at Rottnest and so I wanted to explore the whole island.

Amazing place. The rain didn't stop us from having fun

Nice stop to have a break whilst bike riding around Rottnest Island.

Snorkelled here to see the shipwreck. The water was abit choppy with lots of seaweed. Visibility was poor but might be just due to time of day. If u have limited time snorkelling, i would head straight to little salmon bay instead.

Fellas make sure to have a visit here and do not forget to bring one or two beer with you since drinking one sitting and enjoying the outstanding view is really something! Lol I and my friend did't expect to spend like more than an hour here. Such an unexpectedly beautiful place which catches your whole attention😍 와 진짜 예상못하게 너무 예쁘고 좋았어요 맥주 두캔씩 사왔는데 뷰도 예쁘고 맥주 마시기 진짜 좋았어요 한참 앉아있다 갔어요😆

We did a day trip only, booked a charter boat to go over also hired bikes to ride around the island, the bikes were bought over from the mainland on the boat all done through the charter company, electric bikes would have been the go, there are also places to park your bikes when you are at the shops/Cafe

Peaceful and totally unspoilt

What an amazing little gem hidden away in Mt Hawthorn. This little cottage is filled with history, intrigue, and just a bloody good story. Love it!

Really special to be able to visit this place! Make sure you do you research to find out what days they are open, as the Cottage only opens to public a few times a year. We happened to drive past on Purple Poppy Day and attended a touching ceremony honoring the animals that have served in wars past and present.

Informative tour by Ann descendant of Private Porter the first occupant. Of special interest to our group as our great- grandfather and great-grandmother were there providing their services on the day it was built in 35-degree heat.

Very humbling and honoured now knowing the History of Anzac House. Thank you

Visited on an open day. Informative talk presented and cup of tea and biscuit for gold coin donation.

Restored by the Vietnam veterans and some their history Also a tribute to the people who built these houses for WW1 veterans.

Beautiful ANZAC Day sunset ceremony - last in Australia (mainland at least).

Nice beach and conveniently located for sunset or afternoon sun, but not a very spacious beach front during high tourism and had a fair amount of washed up seaweed which always smells a bit potent. Nevertheless, it’s a nice easy walk from the main section of Fremantle or the train station, so it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re already checking out the Round House and other museums near by.

Easy to access with toilets, restaurants and other amenities close by. When we visited in April there was an amazing selection of art and sculptures on the beach.

Easy to access if u are in Fremantle cbd but it's very small beach. Perfect spot to take pictures but not for relax because it's crowded

Nice, simple and close to the city. You can relax during the week but it’s a little busy during the weekends. Great sunset views!!!

Really nice spot to chill out by the water. The beach is clean, the water’s clear, and it’s a great place to watch the sunset. There are some good places to eat nearby too. It does get a bit busy on weekends, but still a great place to hang out.

"This place is perfect for a beach stroll, especially to watch the beautiful sunset. The nearby restaurants are also great, enjoying seafood and fine wine while overlooking the sea."

Beautiful beach, feels like Fiji! Water is crystal clear blue, so calm, and not many people! ©DanaCully2025

It's got the potential to be a pretty awesome park, but it is pretty abysmally taken care of by the council. There's trees everywhere, which is awesome, and one of the few redeeming factors. Real shadey, and stays relatively cool. It's just a sand pit in the dog area though. Ironically, there's plenty of grass everywhere outside, so the whole 'on leash' area is where 80% or people go. Which is pretty understandable, given the actual area they're meant to be is a dust bowl. So much of a dust bowl, there's an entire tree that's collapsed and been sitting there for almost a month, a bunch of grass trees that are literally crumbling apart from there being no moisture, and actual paved brick work and tree roots beginning to show through everywhere with all the sand that's getting blown away in the breeze. And a multimillion dollar dust bowl across the road now, thanks to the golf course that used to be there being sold for property development naturally (apparently there's a "lovely green space" close by, it's on the brochure don't ya know). Genuinely dodgy park. Wouldn't visit until either the council actually puts some effort in, you're able to deal with dirty sand in everything, or you're not concerned about getting done in by a tree at some point in your life. Otherwise, yeah. There's a playground I guess.

Loved the park. Two separate areas allowed me to let the dogs run around, dragging their leashes. Lots of good sniffy places. My main objection is that there is not enough signage for the entry. I missed the turnoff and ended up driving for what seemed like miles as there was nowhere to turn around. Finally got to a roundabout where I then had to drive again for miles to turn into the carpark. Could be better.

Great place among the gum trees for taking your dog for some recreation. There are enclosed areas with double gates for them to be off leash.

It was our first introduction to a dog park for our puppy. We met some nice doggies. Equipment was nice too. It was quite dirty, bits and pieces of rubbish. I liked the devision of small dog park and big dog park.

good dog park. secure. shaded so is cool. a few agility obstacles. no grass as natural bush setting. lots to sniff and explore

Epic little park in th middle of our suburb, love the nature play, especially the challenging rocks and logs etc. plus some cool levels. Our daughter will love this for years to come.

The first enclosure on your left is for small dogs, the second on the right for all dogs. Its a good place to take your dog to mix with others, but it would be better with more grass and more than one drinking bowl per enclosure. That's why it's only a 4/5.

Great place for dogs 'Off the leash Park'. Don't forget to go to the toilet before you leave home. Another great family venue with no public toilets. It is such a shame. It's so nice you could spend a whole day there with all your family (dog/s included)🐕. Have a go at Frisbee ⛳️ golf, take turns on the flying fox there are two one is a hanging disk and the a chair perfect for all chilren who need support. There's a play area that is fenced in, also sand based area with a wooden climbing, l think it's a fort? I'm told during the week between 5pm-6pm it's like parents and puppy dog time. It's a great social interaction time for our four legged family members and their parents. This is not a planned thing.... it's, just an accidental happening when like minded people are in proximity of each other. Sounds great I'll have to check it out. My little dog needs a bit of socialising.

Ok park for easy walk. Wheelchair accessible and plenty of seating and bbq. Very dog friendly. Shame about the cars parking right next to the walking paths and not on the car park. I don't understand why folk go to a park and don't want to walk a few metres.

Great family park with a BBQ area , enclosed playground for the little ones, open space to run , and a flying fox for the big and little ones. Only thing missing is a toilet block.

Awesome park for events thanks to city of Cockburn for hosting the fur run for dogs .

Great outdoor place. Bbq , play grounds, basketball hoop, and lots of green.

To be aware of is that there is no toilet block here.. I don't mind that though. Great place to walk the dog. Circuit to work on on - lead walking, lovely shade, playgrounds and expanses of grass for off lead too. The all important poop bin and bags is conveniently by the carpark. There's an always clean looking bbq that I've never seen anyone using but do tend to go early or around dusk. Also a picnic table x 1 and benches dotted around...I believe playground facilities are to be added to soon as well although I think they're pretty good now!

Nice park with two lovely playground, one fenced for smaller children. The longest double flying fox around! Several fenced off nature reserves. Lots of dogs. No public toilets, so make sure your kids go, before you take them there.....
