Cheap Family-Friendly Activities to do in Perth
Welcome to the West Coast of Australia, where the capital city is actually closer to Asia than Canberra. Despite its rather isolated position away from the country’s more established areas, Perth offers a stunning array of sights and attractions – from breathtaking strips of coastline and sandy shores, to beautiful parklands, delectable cuisine and more.
For families looking to make the most of Perth without spending a fortune, we list some of the top affordable family-friendly activities available.
Spend the day at Kings Park
Perth is blessed with a sprawling parkland right next to its city-centre. Better yet, when you delve into the heart of Kings Park, it’s easy to convince yourself you’re in the middle of the bush and not amongst a thriving business hub.
Take the kids here for the day and let them run crazy among the many play areas available. Make sure to view the Synergy Parkland, with its dinosaur-themed playground, and the Rio Tinto Naturescape, which allows them to learn and engage with the natural environment.
Check out the animals at Perth Zoo
Once you’ve had enough of Kings Park, hop across Swan River to the Perth Zoo on the other side. More than 120 years old, this establishment is committed to conservation and contributing to the survival of species from around the globe. Adult entry is $31 and children entry starts at $15, meaning you can enjoy an entire day learning about beautiful animals without spending a fortune.
Explore Mettams Pool
Perth has an abundance of rugged and beautiful coastlines, meaning there’s no shortage of beaches and rocky pools to enjoy. Mettams Pool is a reef-ringed ocean oasis along the West Coast Drive strip. The kids will simply love clambering over the rocks and snorkelling close to the shoreline. Get yourself some fish and chips to eat on the sand and you’re set.
Putt away at Wembley Mini Golf
Always a family-friendly favourite, Wembley Mini Gold offers an 18-hole landscaped course that both adults and kids can enjoy. The sprawling outdoor space is actually a scaled-down version of the full-size golf course. It provides a fun opportunity for the kids to get involved as they navigate the sand traps, water features, bridges and streams.
