20 things to do in Perth with kids
"Relive your youth at the Young George, a two floor unique bar and bottle shop located in East Fremantle. Although their wood fire is an integral part of their cooking, their bar focused, globally inspired dishes are all produced using seasonal and local food. If ‘You’ve Been Tangoed’ or you’re ‘Just Peachy’, you can’t help but enjoy their cocktails all night long."
"Also in Fremantle and specifically in the 1850s-era Commissariat building, the WA Shipwrecks Museum is known to be the foremost maritime archaeology museum in the southern hemisphere. It has hundreds of relics from shipwrecks found along Western Australia’s treacherous coastline. Some of the must-see shipwrecks in the museum include the original timbers from Batavia, and the de Vlamingh Dish."
"This is American barbecue done with an easy, breezy Freo attitude. With friendly service and live music providing extra ambience, Holy Smokes should be your next date night dinner. They’ve got all the classics you’d expect – smoked meats, wings and slaws – but they also have a killer lineup of sliders and a some specials you won’t be able to resist: think Philly cheese brisket tacos or chicken and waffles with buttered greens."
"The Newhaven Estate Robot Park in Piara Waters is unlike any of the parks that are found in Perth. Catering for kids of all ages, it has an industrial robot theme throughout, with a mixture of sand and water-related featured. Its key feature is the brightly coloured giant robot’s head where kids can climb through it and go down the slide that’s hidden in the middle."
"When the husband and wife team behind super popular food truck Comida do Sul opened Madalena’s back in the tail end of 2018 , it was no surprise that it became one of the most talked about restaurants in Perth, and Australia at large. This relaxed boteco has a menu that celebrates local seafood, as well as a wine list curated in conjunction with the guys at Wise Child. You’d think you were on the beach in Barcelona if it wasn’t so classically Perth."
"This is what makes Madalena’s Bar one of the best fine dine-in restaurant in Perth. This restaurant has a suits-and-satin inner-city exclusivity but it is quite difficult to get a seat in this place, particularly at peak times. Getting a seat at this place is near to impossible when it comes to the busiest hours."

"Guide to the Best Cafes in FremantleLocated at the “best end of the west end” is Chalky’s Espresso Bar. Chalky’s prides in awesome coffee that has to be tasted to be appreciated, made from in-season, and current-crop. Fantastic food, great service, and a relaxed vibe are its other features."
"First port of call on the Freo Crafty Crawl is a local institution: Clancy’s Fish Pub. When a pub has been around for this long while also amassing three sister venues it must be doing something right. Family friendly, full of maritime charm and spacious, Clancy’s is that rarest of things (within any given city): a classic Australian character pub."
"Less than a 25-minute drive south-west of the CBD, Samsons Paddock is renowned as one of the best meat-inspired restaurants in Perth. Offering a mouthwatering selection of both steak and whisky and whether it’s lunch, dinner or a drink, guests are fed lengthy lists of varied options. However, if you’d rather stick to something more homegrown, be sure to pick one of their delicious seasonal share plates or one of their locally-sourced wine or beer options."
"Industrial-chic lightbulbs and polished-concrete floors are softened by recycled timber at chilled Who's Your Mumma. An eclectic crew of South Freo locals gathers for excellent cocktails, craft beer and moreish..."
"Still a working commercial port, Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour is a lovely waterfront pier, offering amazing seafood restaurants, bars, and entertainment. It’s also fun to see all the boats and trawlers in port. Esplanade Park and Little Creatures are all extremely close together, so it’s easy to visit all three together."
"To round off a busy day of exploring, there is one last thing to do in Fremantle that can’t be missed. Go for a walk along the Fishing Boat Harbour and pick out a nice place to have dinner with a beautiful ocean view. You’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to seafood restaurants on the Fishing Boat Harbour!"
"IT has a variety of things to do like high speed jet rides, charter sailing rides, the maritime museum and many options of restaurants. Located in the heart of Fremantle, the harbor is home to more than 400 boats and is the fun centre of Fremantle, surrounded by many bars and eateries."
