Exploring Perth with the fam before our little guy turns two was a blast! 🤩 From iconic harbors to wildlife encounters, let’s dive into our must-see family adventure around sunny WA:
Top Spots to Visit Around Perth:
1. Blue Boat House (1 Kings Park Ave, Crawley WA 6009) – Snap that insta-worthy pic with Perth’s famous floating boathouse! Early morning light = best photos, especially with toddlers before crowds build up.
2. The Aquarium Of Western Australia (91 Southside Drive, Hillarys) – Huge tanks and touch pools will have kids (and grown-ups) amazed. Check hours: Most of the year 09:00–16:00, but Dec/Jan stretch to 17:00. Pro tip: Arrive right at opening for calmer vibes!
3. Scarborough Reserve (The Esplanade, Scarborough WA 6019) – Outdoor playground paradise by the beach. Perfect for letting little ones burn energy while parents snag some sun. Walks here are best midday before the sand heats up!
4. Caversham Wildlife Park (Whiteman Park, Whiteman Drive East, Whiteman WA 6068, Open daily 09:00–16:30, entry $166) – Get close with kangaroos, wombats & more. Don’t miss the farm show—super interactive for babies and toddlers!
5. Scarborough Beach – Classic Perth coastline. Bring snacks & a picnic blanket for laid-back chill sessions under the sun.
6. Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour & Cicerello's Fremantle (44 Mews Rd) – Yachts, fresh local seafood, and epic bread with chowder at Cicerello’s. Sit outdoors for blue sky marina views; high chairs available!
Getting Around: Rent a car for maximum flexibility; public buses run, but family stops are easier with your own ride. Free parking at most parks and big attractions.
Visa & Money: Australia’s eVisitor visa is a breeze online! Most spots take cards, but bring some cash for smaller cafés or markets.
Weather Tip: Perth is full-on sunny 🌞. Pack hats, sunscreen, and a refillable water bottle for everyone!
