Top Activities to do in Perth

The Burswood area in particular, complete with Crown as a hub of activity, is one place you could spend days on end never doing the same thing twice and never getting bored. 

Relaxing spa days to vibrant nights out, Crown has a lot going on. Rather than asking what’s on at Crown, it could be simpler to list what’s not on at Crown.  

Centre Stage

Crown Theatre is a world-class venue, with two tiers and seating for up to 2,300 people. Take just one of those seats to discover live performances throughout the year, from theatre classics to lesser known stage shows you’ll love just as much. 

Take advantage of the pre- and post-show dining offers at Crown restaurants, and be sure to check back often as the theatre line-up changes regularly.  

Live music

There’s magic in live music. Something about the atmosphere in the crowd, the connection with the performers, and the joy of seeing so much talent in real life. 

Not only does Crown host live brands most nights of the week, Friday and Saturday nights often feature multiple options across our venues. 

Embrace Pampering

Need a day to relax and unwind? Crown Spa is the ultimate in rejuvenation. 

From sauna to steam room, massage to mani pedi, this luxurious spa has everything you need to feel refreshed. If the rest of your time in Perth is set to be non-stop, make this relaxing destination a must-stop.

Perth is a beautiful city set on a sparkling waterfront with lush greenery in abundance. It’s no wonder that so many fun activities to do in Perth are those that invite you to enjoy the great outdoors. 

Burswood Park

Just a stone’s throw from Crown, Burswood Park is a family-friendly parklands on the Swan River. 

It is also loaded with attractions. Here you can follow the heritage sculpture trail, check out the public art, stroll around a lake, take the kids to the play areas, admire the flora and fauna, or relax with a cuppa and a bite at the Bilya Café. 

There are also regular events and ongoing activities, so bookmark the calendar so you don’t miss a beat. 

Perth Zoo

No one is immune to the fun of the Perth Zoo. With animals from all over the world, this zoo makes for an epic outdoor activity for locals and visitors alike. 

Attend keeper talks, see your favourite animals, discover new animals you’ve never heard of, learn about the conservation work of the zoo, and sign up for a ‘close encounter’ to create a new core memory.  

On the Stroll 

Don’t overlook the fun of a simple walk, especially when there are stunning options right in the heart of the city. 

The Windan Bridge Loop is a 6.2-kilometre stroll that will take you past Herrison Island, by Optus Stadium, and past plenty of galleries, cafes and restaurants. The 5.4-kilometre Claisebrook Cove Art Walk is another great option, but with a focus on art including street furniture, landscape features, and stand-alone works. 

Have a Hit

The State Tennis Centre is handily located in Burswood, so you can hire a court any time throughout the year and have a hit or play a game in a beautiful, modern setting. 

Set your heart racing and your smile beaming with these action-packed, adrenaline-pumping activities in Perth. 

Water Sports

Perth is a sun-bathed city by the sea. As such, there are countless water sports on the menu. 

Go surfing at Trigg Point or Scarborough, take a kayaking adventure on the Swan River, take a spin on a jet ski, go whale watching off the coast, or take your pick of the countless other water-based activities in the area. 

Climb Up, Zip Down

Push your sense of adventure to new heights on the Matagarup Zip+Climb. 

This activity will have you climbing up the iconic Matagarup Bridge, then ziplining 400 metres back down. You’ll see the city from a whole new perspective – at up to 75 km/h. 

Above Optus Stadium

You don’t have to be a sports fan to appreciate the thrill of clambering around the roof of the Optus Stadium. 

The OZONE invites you onto the roof for a beautiful view of the stadium below and city before you. There’s even a twilight tour option for something truly unforgettable.  

Perth has more than its fair share of iconic landmarks. Here are just a couple to add to your must-see list. 

The Sound of Perth

Ding dong. The Bell Tower is the home of the Swan Bells, and is one of the most historical and unique sights in the city. Think of it as a giant musical instrument you can go in and explore via general entry, or take a tour where you can give bell ringing a go for yourself. 

Elizabeth Quay Bridge

The Elizabeth Quay Bridge is a beautiful piece of architecture and a functional footbridge in one. It cuts a graceful curve across the Perth skyline, and is an easy must-do to walk or cycle across when you’re in the city. 

You’re spoiled for choice for fun things to do in Perth with friends. Get outdoors, get adventurous, and get yourselves to Crown for dining, entertainment and more all in one place.
