Nature Day Out🌞
Exploring Perth with kids? Absolutely, this city knows how to keep little ones (and adults!) smiling 🌞🦘 Here’s my top picks from Whiteman, Crawley, and Rottnest Island – packed with animal encounters, iconic photo ops, and pure outdoor fun.
Must-See Places:
Caversham Wildlife Park, Whiteman Park, Whiteman Drive East, Whiteman WA 6068 (Open daily 09:00–16:30, tickets around AUD 165) – Get up close to kangaroos, koalas, and wombats in a super chill, friendly setting. Perfect for young explorers!
Blue Boat House, 1 Kings Park Ave, Crawley WA 6009 – Snap that legendary Insta-worthy pic by the river at this modern landmark, especially stunning on sunny days. Ideal kid-friendly spot for a quick stop and play by the water.
Rottnest Island, WA 6161 (Open all day, ferry access, admission around AUD 400) – Mix bike rides (rent a blue helmet for the full island vibe!), salt lakes, quokka searches, and endless sunny outdoor scenery. Kids love the freedom, adults love the views!
Getting Around: Self-Drive is always the best! Rentals are cheap and easy too.
Food: Grab snacks before heading to Caversham (limited shops inside). Rottnest’s main village has casual bites, or pack a picnic for those nature stops!
Extra Tips: Perth is sunshine central, so bring hats, sunscreen, water bottles and let everyone roam. The city’s laid-back style means you can go at your own pace—soak in river sunsets or watch kangaroos at play, stress-free!
