Warming up to Winter: 3 Perfect Activities for the family in Perth this Winter

In a city well-known for its sun-kissed summers, Winter in Perth offers a refreshing change of pace and invites locals and tourists alike to uncover the hidden gems in our vibrant community often otherwise overlooked. Here's 5 ways to embrace the weather with activities the whole family will enjoy

1. Hit the trails

Don’t be afraid to get outdoors in the chilly weather! Located just outside of Perth in the hills, Lesmurdie falls has many trails varying in difficulty fit so there's something everyone. Pack a picnic and head outdoors. Wintertime is when our unique and vibrant flora comes alive bursting with colour and the waterfalls are flowing at their fullest.

If you're after something a little closer to the city, Kings park offers stunning views overlooking the city's CBD and the Swan River. It's a great way to learn more about Perth cultural heritage and get away from the bustling city.

 2. Boola Bardip Museum

Located in Perth's Cultural Centre, WA's Boola Bardip Museum is the perfect way to learn more about the rich culture of our Aboriginal peoples and retreat indoors for the rainier days. With daily activities and tours for the whole family you'll get lost inside for hours. Many local guides rave about the museum including Kate from 'AustraliaTravelHub' who claims it to be "the best cultural experience in Perth".

3. Winter Night Market

Experience the lively winter night markets over in Canning Vale to wrap up your Saturday evenings with a hot drink and toasted marshmallows. Exclusive for the winter season, this weekly Saturday market has everything! From live music to shopping to kids face painting and a variety of street food trucks so you can try something from everywhere in the world.

These activities offer the family a well-rounded Perth experience this winter - where exploration of Perth's natural beauty, cultural immersion and unique activities come together to create unforgettable memories to last a lifetime.
