1. Visit the Cohunu Koala Park

Visiting Cohunu Koala Park is one of the best things you can do while you are in Perth. Especially if you love animals, this is a great experience.

This is a beautiful park where you can see lots of koalas, but also many other animals.

For example, there are kangaroos and black swans in this park, which are amazing to see.

Furthermore, you can feed many of the animals yourself and you can get a photo with a koala.

2. Have fun at the Perth Zoo

Perth Zoo is another very fun place to go. There are a lot of animals here (more than 1200!) of more than 150 different species!

There are three primary areas in the zoo, these are the Asian Rainforest, the African Savannah, and the Australian Walkabout. Each area is dedicated to a collection of animals belonging to that area.

Furthermore, the zoo tries to replicate the natural habitat of the animals for each area, which is really interesting.

Also, the zoo grows its own crops to feed the animals living there!

3. Head to the beach

When you are in Perth you should really take a trip to the beach.

There are plenty of beaches to choose from in the city, but I would recommend Cottesloe Beach. This is a beach that looks very beautiful.

There is a long stretch of white sand with amazing blue water.

Moreover, it is a very popular place for swimming and surfing for both locals and tourists. Furthermore, there are some great restaurants with a view over the ocean!

4. Get a view over the city at the Bell Tower

For a place to get a beautiful view over the city, you should definitely go to the Bell Tower!

The Bell Tower has an amazing observation deck that you definitely should not miss out on!

Also, the tower itself is very interesting. It is a bell tower and one of the largest musical instruments in the world.

5. Do a tour of the Perth Mint

The Perth Mint is the place to go if you want to learn more about gold and money. It is the official Australian mint for gold bars and they produce coins.

Besides that, you can visit the mint and there is a lot to do and see. For example, you can see how gold is melted down and witness the creation of a gold bar.

Another very cool thing to see is the one-tonne gold coin, which is a real coin made of almost completely pure gold that is about 80 centimeters wide and 13 centimeters thick.

It is the largest coin in the world, and also the most valuable. Also, you can do a tour of the facility during which you can learn much more and ask all you want!

6. Go to Adventure World

Adventure World is an amazing theme park in the city and also one of the best things to do in Perth!

There are about 25 attractions at the park, that include rollercoasters, water slides, and a swing. You will certainly have a great time here!

7. See art at the Art Gallery of WA

The Art Gallery of WA is one of the best places to see art in Perth. There is a large variety of art on display at the gallery, which is really fun because there is a lot to see.

Also, there are many changing exhibitions, which provide you with something new every time you visit the city and the gallery again.

8. Visit King Park and Botanic Garden

Kings Park and Botanic Garden is a great part of the city that you should really visit. The nature of this garden is lovely.

There are thousands of species of flowers from Australia that look stunning.

Also, because of its location, this is an amazing place to see the skyline of the city!

Furthermore, visiting Kings Park is free, making this one of the best free things to do in Perth.

9. See the Perth Observatory

Another one of the best things to do in Perth is going to the Perth Observatory! The Perth Observatory is an observatory that is in use, and you can visit it by doing a tour.

During such a tour you can learn much more about the telescope. Furthermore, you get to see the sky through the telescope and see much more of the stars and other things in space!

10. Do a cruise on the Swan River

Doing a swan river cruise is definitely a great idea! You can see many of the sights of the city from a whole different perspective, which is very great.

Also, you can learn more about the places that you sail along through commentary from the Captain. A tour takes about 2.5 hours to fully experience the Swam River.
