    Review of: Kings Park and Botanic Garden
    Fabulous views
    I spent a morning in the park. It's huge, 3 times the size of Monaco! The different areas were well marked with interpretative signs. Paths are well maintained and the place is a must see

    Review of: Swan River
    Swan River ferry
    An interesting way to visit the city is to park the car at Mend Street, South Perth, and take the public ferry across the river to the Bell Tower. A family ticket is about $10 return. The ferry departs both destinations frequently. The trip takes less than 10 minutes. Modern, airconditioned, comfortable seating. Free parking along the South Perth foreshore. We had a five-year old child with us. She enjoyed a ride on the merry-go-round ($6) and a walk around the Quay. If you are energetic, you can walk up to the centre of the city (Hay Street, Murray Street, etc) - plenty of shopping and cafes. Perth is a fabulous city to walk around if it is not too windy and wet. I am giving four stars because we had a great sunny day.

    Review of: The Perth Mint
    Nice tour and great place to get souvenirs
    They have tours in the morning to show you how gold bars are made. Never knew there was so much gold in Australia! Also they can customize the medallions for you!

    Review of: Elizabeth Quay
    The quay that brought the river to the city
    Elizabeth Quay is intended to bring the river to Perth city. It is only a short walk from the Quay to the city, but the Quay now seems to becoming a multi-faceted real estate development. One of its main features is the Swan Bells. Visitors can also take the ferry across the Swan River to Mends St in South Perth. The ferry leaves from Elizabeth Quay. Fares are modest; seniors can travel free, off peak. Elizabeth Quay is on the northern side of Perth Water, one of the Swan River's largest expsanses of watder.

    Review of: Lotterywest Federation Walkway
    Best view at Kings Park
    A must visit if you're at Kings Park. The walkway offers spectacular views over the city! Very accessible and not a difficult walk.

    Review of: Art Gallery of Western Australia
    Worth your time!
    I've only been to a handful of art galleries in my lifetime, but I've seen enough of them in Italy to know that this gallery is on par with some of the European ones. Without mentioning the art, as it frequently gets replaced by newer works, the layout of the building makes it convenient to walk around and pushes you to explore all its corners. The staff was helpful to me when asking for directions and in general attending this gallery was a nice and refreshing experience from the daily routine of home-work life, especially during the lockdowns..

    Anyhow, if you're unsure about it, read some of the other reviews and go for it, the 1-2 hours spent in there will be worth it

    Review of: Scitech
    Cool but needs robot material and suits for children to wear during experiments
    Scitech is a really cool place. I have to say, I really like almost everything about this place. I likes the playgrounds, experiments, safety measures and the planet trophy looking thing (Planetarium). When I went here I had lots of fun and satisfaction for the things I learnt at this place. I went here not once but twice, but both experiences are nearly the same. It is not without flaws though. The experiments could be quite scary and harmful to little kids but it was good education. For some reason, when I was here for both the occasions, the place felt robot looking and was quite dark. A few things could be added to Scitech to make it better. You could create a huge map of the whole building, add some extra and better games, make the experiments less scary, lower the time spent in the Planetarium and make the Scitech excursions slightly longer in terms of time.

    Along with those normal changes mentioned just above, I also think that Scitech should include a robot related place in the building with robot like games and even wearable robot suit costumes for extra experiments and fun which are optional for adults but mandatory for children who visit Scitech as an excursion. I recommend robot suits for children to wear during a robot section so that the kids who wear them could have more interest with learning about robotic technology. The robot suits would be worn for 30 minutes and are then taken off when the experiments and games are done.

    Cool place overall. I recommend to anyone who want to learn space like things.

    Review of: Fraser Avenue Lookout
    The Vision Splendid
    Perth has developed dramatically since the 1970s. The best view of this "Little Manhattan" is from the Fraser Avenue Lookout, where the city is spread out in front of you, It's perched on the scarp at the edge of Kings Park, truly "the Vision Splendid."

    Review of: Heirisson Island
    Kangaroos in the city
    I visited on a hot May afternoon. Hopped on a bus from Elizabeth Quay that brought me to Victoria Park Transfer station, and Heirisson Island is about a 10 min walk from there.

    The place is very self-explanatory and free for you to explore. I guess it was too early and the weather was hot, so not a lot of kangaroos around. I did manage to see 2 western grey kangaroos. Worth a visit (it's free!) if you have time to spare!

    Review of: Transperth
    Brilliant free bus around the city
    What a great idea! A free bus service around parts of the city centre. Free bus to the central bus station then regular bus to the airport - $5. What's not to like?
