Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Fremantle

"Rising above the Swan River on the city's western flank, the 400-hectare, bush-filled expanse of Kings Park is Perth's pride and joy. At the park's heart is the 17-hectare Botanic Garden, containing over 2000 plant species indigenous to WA. In spring there's an impressive display of the state's famed wildflowers. A year-round highlight is the Lotterywest Federation Walkway, a 620m path including a 222m-long glass-and-steel bridge that passes through the canopy of a stand of eucalypts."

"It also enjoys prime position for exploring Kings Park, which is just across the road. Each room has a flat screen TV with satellite channels and a coffee pod machine. The en-suite bathrooms have toiletries and a hairdryer. The hotel also offers free bike hire – a great, eco-friendly way to get around the city."

"Locals boast that this is one of the few inner-city parks to dwarf New York City's Central Park; it covers 1,000-acres and grants eye-popping…"

"Lottery West funded the new Whale Playground in Scarborough in 2017, and is a great way to cap off our top 10. The playground features a blue whale skeleton as its main feature that runs throughout the play area. With ramps through most of the park, the play area is wheelchair and pram accessible."

"The Whale Playground has all the usual fun stuff – swings, slide, monkey bars – plus a life sized whale skeleton. If you walk just south of the park you will find a skate park, climbing wall and beach pool. The Whale Park and surrounds are the perfect destination for a day excursion."

"Whiteman Park has been around as a public space for decades, but have you been there lately?. If not, we recommend a little trip to this Perth institution, located just 30km out of town and guaranteed to take at least a full day to tackle. Set within 4000 hectares of natural bushland, entry is free to explore picnic grounds, playgrounds, bushwalking trails, craft villages and two different dog parks!"

"Whiteman Park is a unique recreation and conservation reserve that covers nearly 4,000 hectares of natural bushland and leisure facilities in Perth’s northern suburbs. Whiteman Park is full of fun and interesting things to do with the kids, every day of the year, and school holidays are no different!. When was the last time you selfied with a koala?"

"The last thing children think they want to do on their holidays is learn, but luckily, Whiteman Park is as fun as it is educational. Caversham Wildlife Park, the Children's Forest and the Woodland Reserve will all teach them the importance of protecting the environment. Is your child passionate about cars?"

"Spread across two floors of a heritage listed warehouse, Japingka Aboriginal Art Gallery is home to a curated collection of works from indigenous artists from across Australia, with all works ethically sourced using fair trade practices. 47 High St, Fremantle"

"Only a 20-minute drive from Perth, the Butterflies, Birds and Bridges Trail is one of the most scenic trails in Canning Regional Park. You’ll walk through sedge meadows, mature woodlands, creeks and amongst the crowns of a paperbark forest. This lengthy but easy trail is the perfect weekend day trip, and with water access points and a cafe, it’s a trail that you don’t have to be too prepared for."

"Patsy Durack’s tranquil rose gardens surround Kareela, built in 1915 and used by Archbishop Clune as a holiday home during the 1920s. Patsy Durack grows hundreds of field rose bushes. Most of the rose bushes have their own individual plaques allowing visitors to identify those roses they would like in their own gardens."

"This 40-year-old steak restaurant in Perth is known for its cheerful American-influenced setting and great range of steak cuts. The signature steak is grain-fed beef served with signature steak butter and mashed potatoes – with, of course, other steak toppings available too. With a great range of cocktails and Western Australian wines, Tony Roma’s has it all and should be a must on your list of the best steak restaurants in Perth."

"While it is unlikely your self-isolation companion will believe you whipped up house-made saffron linguine with WA Slipper Lobster and soft herb tomato sugo or tortillas with Shark Bay prawns, chipotle mayonnaise and preserved lemon (mainly because they haven’t left your eyesight all day) they will still be suitably impressed with your takeaway selection from Odyssea. This City Beach favourite is open from 7am to 8pm daily."

"Odyssea beautifully unites the iconic Western Australian coastline with fine dining, what could go wrong?!. With a classic modern-Australian menu, fine coffee and a selection of cakes and desserts, it’s time to indulge. Once it hits midday, order a wine and watch the day slip away."
