Family-Friendly Perth With Kids
Things To Do With Kids In Perth
Perth has a laidback but edgy vibe that gives this city a rather special allure. It’s also an easy city to navigate with loads to see and do within the surrounding suburbs (particularly Freemantle) and countryside. Even though most families fly into Perth just to take a quick break, we recommend staying for at least a week to explore the various regions surrounding this vibrant city. If you have time, venture further out to Margaret River. This idyllic region is renowned for its wines and makes for a nice, tranquil contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city.
