Out-and-about activities in Perth for the school holidays

See Western Australia from new heights

Treetop adventures, ziplining and bridge climbs are massive crowd-pleasers – especially for kids with a lot of energy.

Attend a theatre or concert performance or watch a movie

Dress younger kids up for the theatre or take your teen out for their first (of many) music gigs.

Visit a museum

Over the school break museums are transformed into kid- and family-friendly playgrounds. Pick one that sits with your child's interest and spend the day there.

Plan a family day

Spend the break together playing a round of mini golf, boarding a canal pirate tour or visiting the aquarium.

Soar above Perth – literally

See Perth from the best vantage point with a helicopter flight, scenic flight or skydiving experience.

Meet the local wildlife

Spend the holidays spotting marine life from the water or having a close encounter at the local zoo.

Get the friends together

The school holidays wouldn't be the same without spending it with their friends. Offer to take them out for a day of sandboarding, quad biking or laser skirmish. Guaranteed there will be smiles all round – especially from the other parents who will appreciate having the day off.

Take a city tour

If you're yet to explore Perth's most popular attractions, play tourist for a day with a tour that gives you a glimpse into Perth's past.

Wander among the Pinnacles

One of Western Australia's most stunning backdrops is the Pinnacles Desert. The kids will marvel at the formations. And yes, they may even learn a thing or two about geology.
