We visited this large and lovely park. There are nice walking paths, a bridge, fountains, statues and lots of flowering plants. There is a great view of Perth city from here. The park is well maintained with beautiful lawns too. A great place to visit for some greenery and fresh air.

The most beautiful displays of Australian flora that I've ever seen. Incredible views of the city and surrounding bodies of water. Lots of easy walk ways and interesting bridges, pretty accessible even for wheelchairs for most of the park (some hills when you get deeper in). Cafe and restaurant on site with an icecream spot. Lots of picnic areas and free parking on site. Be sure to look up any events happening as they have some pretty cool light shows etc. War memorial and art gallery on site near each other.

Definitely Must visit in Perth Australia. The view of the city is beautiful and the garden is amazing and well kept. It has beautiful trails especially to those who likes to work out or go for a run. The plants are amazing and so many varieties!

Beautiful park with a superb view of the Elizabeth Quay, the Swan River and South Perth area. The botanic garden is free to visit and while I am not an enthusiast I could see lots of photographers snapping pictures of plans and flowers. The state war memorial is worth checking out too.

Kings Park & Botanic Garden was one of the most beautiful places to visit in Perth. It's a beautifully landscaped botanical garden and a large park. From the top, you get a stunning view of the entire Perth skyline. Admission is free, and there's also ample parking available at the entrance. Definitely a must-see if you're in Perth. Highly recommended!

What a great park and gardens. Really well looked after and the views of Perth and the Swan River are magnificent Watched the Anzac Day Dawn service which was very moving. Good cafes and a great place to spend some time.

Came here on a hot summer day and while we nearly melted to death we really enjoyed the gardens / park. This is such a cool place I could see how people spend every weekend here the views are amazing, the gardens are spectacular / beautiful and the amount that there is to do is unbelievable. We only spent a few hours here due to the hot weather but we would come back for sure. The blue cat (free) drops you off right at the entry which is so convenient. There is no entry fee to the gardens either which is really great. There are a few walks you can do which are outlined on the information sign. We took the 1hr walk and it was about 1.5hrs after all our stopping & looking. Lots of Aussies were there for a jog and for food at the cafe (forgot to take pics). I would highly recommend to come back for a full morning of walking and eating at the cafe which looked to have a really nice selection of food. Note: if visiting Perth for the first time do note that they have free city bus transportation called CAT that will take you to all the sights for free! So convenient and did I say free! There are blue, yellow, red and purple line (if I remember correctly). You can download the CAT app too to check bus arrival timings but most of the buses were white frequent, we never waited more than 5-7min.

Love this garden ! Lots of beautiful big trees, you can see the city from here. In the summer you can have picnic too. It is a beautiful botanical garden. A must see when you go to Perth !

Absolutely stunning with great information on the native flora. I knew it was diverse but not how much! For example, even Kings Park only has 60 of the 580 odd species of Acacias. Many of the varied other species of trees, shrubs, flowers etc. they have growing, are being rescued from being critically endangered! Good on them 👌🤩👏🏻

Beautiful gardens overlooking the city and the sea. There were lots of colourful flowers and plants to see here, there is a lovely walk around the gardens, with fountains, themed areas and a great cafe. If you are in Perth then the park is definitely worth visiting, for the gardens as well as the fantastic views.

The botanical event and art exhibition in 2023 was a brilliant way to spend the day or even just an afternoon. Take some time to admire the park and it's beauty and the flowers when they are in bloom. Lovely park for family or just to enjoy the outdoors.

Well kept Botanical gardens. Well set out and sign posted Caught that free bus from the city centre. Great views of the city and swan River and surrounding suburbs. Great spot for photos off the city Function centre and restaurants great place for picnic under the shade of trees. War memorial is an essential visit with the scenic views of the city.

Perfect location for a picnic on Christmas day. There were few people around, lots of birds to observe. The gardens are immaculate collections of native plants from all over the state. Magnificent.

This is a great place! There are so many walking paths and routes to take to see all the statues and memorials. The view from the War Memorial is breathtaking and I was surprised to find out that the park is dog-friendly. This was my first time there but I will definitely go back and have a picnic or take a solo stroll through the Roe Garden. I love that there are signs detailing the uses of some of the native flora. I can't wait to go back!

We were a bit surprised to find not as many flowers as we expected. But it was still a blast. We stumbled upon some of our favorite plant varieties, and even some we didn't recognize. It's all part of the fun and exploration at Kings Park and Botanical Garden. Now, let's talk about the glass bridge – it's nothing short of spectacular. When you step onto that bridge, you're greeted with jaw-dropping views of the Swan River and a side of the city you've probably never seen before. It's a visual treat that makes the visit worthwhile. What's even better is that you can take a leisurely stroll along the bridge. Picture this: a sunny spring day, a gentle breeze, and the aroma of blooming flowers in the air. It's like a scene from a dream. The fresh air is invigorating, and the view is pure eye candy. So, sure, there might not have been as many flowers as we hoped, but Kings Park and Botanical Garden delivered an unforgettable experience. It's a place where you can enjoy nature, discover new plants, and soak in some of the most breathtaking urban views you'll ever encounter. Definitely worth a visit! 🌿🌉🌼

Lovely neat as a pin Gardens with gorgeous views over Swan River and Perth city and south. Chance for a coffee break or icecream with table and chairs overlooking the gardens. Extensive info Centre and upmarket gallery with part proceeds to gardens. Parking is free and looks like a bus stop right at info centre. Toilets very clean. A lovely park and a credit to Perth.

Breathtaking views of city and beyond. A beautiful collection of native Australian plants in bloom. This is a must do when you drop into Perth. Wide open parkland for those wanting the relaxed picnic, interspersed with walking tracks for those a bit more adventurous. Strategically located throughout the site are memorials so that we may never forget those who have served our country. Well worth the visit.

Kings Park and Botanic Garden in Perth is a serene escape from the bustle of city life. With its vast greenery, stunning city views, and diverse flora, it's a haven for nature lovers and urban explorers alike. The park's extensive botanical gardens showcase Western Australia's unique plant species, offering a fascinating glimpse into the region's biodiversity. Whether you're picnicking on the lawns, exploring the walking trails, or enjoying the treetop canopy walk, Kings Park offers endless opportunities for relaxation and discovery. It's a must-visit destination that perfectly balances natural beauty with urban charm.

Kings Park is such a lovely place to visit in the heart of Perth. It has something for everyone....great walking tracks, fabulous views, interesting history, well equipped playgrounds. Then there are the gardens- amazing, no matter what time of year you visit. And there is always plenty of seating & shady spots to relax. It is dog friendly too. The public bus system goes through the park so it is very accessible. Definitely recommended for locals & visitors!

This is a gorgeous park right in the middle of the city of Perth. It is a huge green space and it overlooks the river which boast a spectacular panoramic view of the city skyline. There are ample parking spaces and the park is best explored in foot. There are plenty of interesting flora and fauna here and the signages are very useful. We took a leisurely stroll but had to pick up our pace as the day grew warner and the temperature soared. My favourite section of the park was the scenic view of the city from across the river. I must have taken so many pictures from multiple angles there. I don't think we covered the entire park but I would like to think we at least saw all the interesting bits. Will definitely return for a more thorough visit the next time round - maybe even jog in the park when I return!

Sadly, I've only given 4 stars due to my experience at The Botanical Cafe (see my review) but Kings Park, itself was amazing, in fact; my dog would give it 10 stars - he had the time of his life. Everything was so green, & the cleanliness surprised me, especially when taking the rest of Perth into account. It was spotless. The grounds staff must go above & beyond. The views over Perth were incredible, and as it was a clear sunny day, we were able to see for miles. Definitely, take your camera when visiting, as it's so scenic. There were nice quiet, shaded spots to sit if you wanted a moment alone, or busier areas if you want to feel a tourist in your own city. If you need a place to sit & read, or even, do as I did; & take your pup somewhere different. It's the place to go. It was a day out I would definitely recommend.

What an incredible park! It’s absolutely huge and every area beautifully kept. There’s loads to admire and explore throughout and the signage for ‘attractions’ is good. Views over the city are amazing and there’s a good cafe / restaurant with plenty of parking at one end. History, nice walking bridges, more natural wild areas and picnic areas - there’s something for everyone. Everyone should explore here on a first visit to the city.

Beautiful huge well kept park/gardens. One of my favourite places to visit. Love all the native plants and flowers. Gorgeous Perth city and swan River views during the day. And at night the views of the city are beautiful, where the city lights up like a Xmas tree. Spend the day having a picnic or exploring. Has a cafe if you're feeling peckish or thirsty. Highly recommend the visit. 😊

Excellent place for a family picnic. Extremely crowded during peak days like public holidays so you should plan your picnic in advance so as to not struggle for parking spots. The botanic garden may take up to 2 hours for a thorough walk-through so make sure to have healthy heels and good sneakers.

I love coming here and relaxing with a morning breakfast. Kings park has always been my go-to place and is absolutely breathtaking at night. Highly recommend for tourists or anyone wanting a relaxing activity to do.

We went after dinner in the city, busy & hard to find parking. Lots of family groups had picnic dinners, which were lovely to see. Pathways were dark, making it a little unsafe to be walking at night.

It's a nice one hour tour. Easy to get there in Hay Street in the CBD. You get to see some incredible specimens and coins, and know a brief history about the place. An actual demonstration of melting/producing a gold bar like it happened back in the old days. Recommended and won't take much of your time ...

Nice, easy and quick experience. We come mid time of the tour but pouring gold experience it's never disappointing. We got $2 Mint Your Own Medallion as memory, which is included with every paid admission. If you have been in any gold mining tour tour, this one is very similar. No need for us to go to any other from now on.

Excellent 45-min tour, hit way above expectations. See the world' largest gold coin, hear the stories of the world's largest nuggets, test your hand at holding a real gold bar, measure your worth of your body weight in gold, and watch an expert pour actual molten gold to make a gold bar. Fabulous, even the kids liked it.

I really enjoyed the tour of the Mint. Perth mint is very different from the one in Canberra. The tour guide, Oliver, has a good sense of humour and made our tour informative and entertaining from telling the history story to the making of the gold bar! Highly recommended.

Visit first time. Friendly staff , have seen world biggest gold coin. Only disappoint me not many variety of jewellery size Only 1-2,option for pickup specially for ladies earrings.

Wonderful gatehouse entrance and main building. Great to walk around and see jewellery, gifts and of course gold bullion for sale! Highly recommend booking the tour for the Gold pour and seeing the 1000kg gold coin! Something most will only see once in a life time, so we'll worth it. Heaps if history to go along the tour.

Probably the best short tour of its type I’ve experienced. Guide Fred and Gold pour demonstrator Oliver we’re both excellent. Humorous without overly so. The tour included some simple but effective interactive elements that aided understanding of gold and the work of the mint. There was more to see and learn apart from gold. I was surprisingly taken by the Argyle Pink Diamonds. The picture is of a very small one for sale at over $250,000. (Maybe next pay😀)

Such a great tour! Sarah was really knowledgeable and friendly and gave a great history of the place, then Oliver showed us how he pours a bar of gold. So entertaining, he deserves a bar of gold for his bonus! Highly recommended place to visit.

Perth Mint is a great experience for everyone young and old. My 9 year old son and I loved it. The tour is 50mins and worth the price, you learn so much and it's fun plus you get take home souvenirs and it's interactive. Job well done guys ! Great knowledge, you get to see and do a bit. Definitely recommend

Our visit to the Perth Mint was an unexpected delight. The history is fascinating and the exhibitions very well curated. It was great to watch a genuine gold pour. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Jon. He was very engaging and enthusiastic, a born performer. He was a good storyteller and communicated clearly. His strong voice was greatly appreciated with such a big tour group.

It is a small gold processing facilty/museum in the middle of Perth. The day tour consists of an hour worth of activity inside the museum showing Australia's gold mining history. Inside you can see the largest gold coin in the world, actual melting and processing of gold bar, and actually try to lift a 14kg gold bar. Its an experience everyone should try.

Managed to get on the 9:30am tour by turning up 10 minutes before the tour started. Very informative guide with lots to see & history to soak up. The gold pour was awesome!

The Perth Mint was overall, quite an enjoyable experience. The tour provided a wealth of information about the history of gold in Western Australia, and I found it fascinating to learn about the significant role this region has played in the gold industry. One particularly intriguing highlight was discovering that The Perth Mint houses the largest piece of gold in the world. The tour also included a captivating segment where the guide demonstrated the process of melting and crafting gold, which added an entertaining element to the visit. It was truly impressive to witness the skills and dangers involved in working with this precious metal. However, I must mention that the tour fee for our group, consisting of three seniors, one adult, and one child, amounted to $94. While the experience was informative and engaging, the price may be a factor to consider, especially if you have other plans or attractions you wish to explore in Perth. Additionally, The Perth Mint features a jewellery shop where you can access without purchasing a ticket. However, as someone who isn't particularly fond of jewelry, I decided to skip this part of the visit. Nonetheless, for those interested in acquiring gold jewelry, this could be a noteworthy stop. All in all, The Perth Mint offers a short yet informative tour that sheds light on the history of gold and its significance in Western Australia. If you have an interest in gold or are looking for an educational experience, it's worth considering a visit. However, if you have budget constraints or aren't particularly drawn to the subject matter, you may want to explore other options in Perth. Take note that the tour timings are 9.30am, 10.30am, 11.30am, 12.30pm, 1.30pm, 2.30pm.

This place was really interesting. We loved to know about the history of the gold and the miners in Perth. We respect the elders and those who were there before us and work to serve the country and build what we can see now. The tour guide was amazing, very kind and friendly. We also spent a lot of money on the shops there, so many pretty things, difficult to choose just 1.

The Perth Mint, the house of Gold, built during the Gold rush in the 1800's. A beautiful place and a heap of history, and presented by amazing tour guides. All of the staff are really helpful and have a buzz of energy about them. Overall a great experience with some mind blowing facts. On another note that really suprised me, was the jewellery store inside. I didn't expect to see high end Argyle Diamonds or other notable brands in there. I mean it goes hand in hand with Gold, but it wasn't expected. Seriously go have a look. Also Jeff was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable and a good cheeky Aussie sense of humour, making the Gold Pour Tour well worth the visit.

We did the tour, which was great, the tour guide was knowledgeable and the stories and history behind the mint were very interesting! I think the tour took around an hour and you also watch how they melt and pour gold. Definitely worth going!

I took the tour, it was attractive and informative. We watched live how a goldbar was made, saw some extraordinary collections. The tour guide was good.

Amazing experience to know about the history of gold mining in Australia. The best part is the tour guide, I haven’t seen anyone with these kind of presentation skills.

The tour was a positive experience. Thank you Paul and Oliver. I wish the tour would also provide more information about the role of gold today in our economy: gold investing, reserves and derivatives etc.

Wonderful Victorian era building. So much history involved in WA's Gold Industry

Excellent visit to the mint while visiting Perth recently. The guided tour was excellent and very informative about the history of gold mining and minting coins around Perth. The biggest coin was quite something as was being weighed to see how much you are worth if you were made of gold! The gold pouring display was really good and you come away with a printed ‘coin’ from the mint as a souvenir. There was a nice shop on site and you can even trade in any gold you have spare! The mint is situated in the centre of Perth, so really easy to access. If you’re in Perth the mint is well worth a visit.

Wow! Such a beautiful old building. So much detail in the lead lighting windows. I could have spent hours here marvelling at the craftsmanship. A beautiful presence of peace at this church. Loved the brass bird statue.

Huge and classical church, glad to visit.

Wonderful location for tourists and parishioners alike ☺️

Church with beautiful architecture in the heart of perth. I went there and amazed because there’s art exhibition inside and in general the church is a really pretty place.

Beautiful heritage church in the heart of Perth. Enjoy the peace here.

safe and inclusive place of high church practice. mass and liturgically proper in many ways.

They hold school choir concerts every two weeks here. I went to watch my daughter there. Staff were welcoming and the acoustics were great.

I have been to this beautiful church numerous of times and always love to pray n feel the peace n Holy Spirit within the church. When u come in afternoon, the sunlight will penetrate through the tinted windows, the colours will spatter on the wall. It's simply beautiful. The colours bring joy n smiles. Best time to visit after 4pm to see these beautiful colours.

Its a good and big cathedral

The most attractive part of this cathedral to me as a non christian is its beautiful sculpture of St. George slaying the dragon called Ascalon . I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates art and sculpture in particular. The sculpture is located on the St. Georges terrace side of the cathedral and is quote a monolith in White and chrome . I suggest a walking all the way around it as the light hits it in so many different ways changing the whole shape of the sculpture. Well worth a look ...even for us non Christians :O)

Magnificent venue for a stellar performance.

Fascinated by the splendor medieval architecture of the church. All the worships sung by the angelic choirs during the mass were also really beautiful and peaceful.
