Things to Do These School Holidays
This school holidays in Perth promises to be an unforgettable one - we’ve done the hard work and put together a list of activities to keep the kids busy! Some of the most popular Perth attractions provide endless hours of fun. From hiking to adrenaline pumping adventures, there’s something for everyone.
Every spring, the Perth Royal Show comes alive at Claremont Showgrounds. From cute animal petting zoos to thrilling rides, there’s something for everyone. With over 300 performances, keep your kids entertained for hours. Be sure to get your tickets online as there are no ticket sales at the door this year.
Be in awe and take in the sheer size of the creatures that roamed Earth 145 million years ago at the WA Museum Boola Bardip. The exhibition boasts 16 full scale skeleton casts of the dinosaurs, with 3D animations and interactive displays, and is sure to truly entertain the whole family. Be quick, the exhibition ends on Sunday 23rd of October.
With the unpredictable weather, sometimes it’s difficult to find activities that will keep the whole family busy and entertained. The first of its kind in Australia, 3D mini golf is the perfect family activity. Located South of Fremantle, be treated to a spectacle of colours and art that is out-of-this-world whilst playing a game of mini-golf.
Are your kids stuck looking at the screen? Take them for a nature walk at Whistlepipe Gully! Located only 30 minutes away from the CBD, there’s endless fun in exploring the bushland and taking in the fresh air. The best thing about this is - it’s free!
