Exploring Perth with kids and a dirty car solution can be easier than you realised!
As spring approaches and school holidays beckon, it’s the perfect time for families in Perth to venture outdoors and embrace the beauty of the season. From blooming flowers to sunny skies, the charm of spring invites us to explore the great outdoors.
Needing some inspiration for some of Perth’s best family springtime activities? Let’s dive into eight delightful outings below:
Pack the car for a messy family adventure this spring, without worrying about who’s going to clean the car, Silver Sponge have you covered.
Fruit Picking in the Hills
Kick off your spring adventure by heading to the hills for a fun-filled day of fruit-picking. For an orange and mandarin fruit-picking session, that also includes an orchard tour and tractor ride, head to The Orchard Perthin Chittering Valley. Or, if you’re a strawberry lover, it is prime time for strawberry picking at Bullsbrook Strawberry Farm. Whilst your little ones indulge in this hands-on experience, they not only learn more about where their food comes from, but you also leave with fresh fruit to take home!
Family Waterfall Hike
Venture out to Rocky Pool or Lesmurdie Falls and take a family hike! Let the kids explore nature’s wonders while you enjoy quality time together. Why not pack a BBQ picnic and make a day of it? Rocky Pool, situated within Kalamunda National Park, features a 5km walking loop past the freshwater pool. Alternatively, Lesmurdie Falls (the biggest waterfall in Perth!) is located within the Mundy Regional Park and the main 5.5km trail takes you past panoramic views of Perth. No matter where you choose, you’re guaranteed to see beautiful wildflowers in full bloom during spring!

Discover the magic of Yanchep National Park with its rich wildlife and stunning landscapes. From kangaroos to koalas, your kids will be in awe. Or explore Crystal Cave or Yonderup Cave for a unique and memorable experience. After having a blast exploring and showing the kids the awesome sights, you may yourself building up a sweat! Don’t fret, Yanchep Lagoon Beach, renowned as one of Perth’s finest coastal gems, is only minutes away for a refreshing dip.
Ice-cream and Beach Day in Mandurah
Less than an hour from Perth CBD, why not take a day trip to Mandurah and treat your family to a beach day? Followed by ice cream of course – Simmo’s Mandurah Ice Creamery is known to be a crowd favourite! As for choosing a beach, Silver Sands Beach and Lido Beach are two of Mandurah’s top beaches to check out.
Playground Extravaganza
Embark on a consecutive playground adventure, exploring different suburbs and playgrounds. Start at Volcano Park in Belmont, venture to Rio Tinto Naturescape, then round off the day at Russell Brown Adventure Park, nestled by the river in Mosman Park. Let your kids unleash their energy, whilst you kick back and relax.
Beach Scavenger Hunt
Hit the beach for a scavenger hunt, where shells, sand and giggles await. Some of Perth’s family-favourite beaches include Watermans Bay Beach, Coogee Beach and South Beach. You’ll find Perth beaches during spring are void of wind, and if the sun is shining, you and the little ones might even be tempted to have a dip. Simply pack the car with the bucket and spade, towels, hats and don’t forget the sunscreen!
BMX or Pump Track Thrills
Conquer a BMX or pump track with your little adrenaline seekers. You can find a number of bike tracks across Perth including Rendell Park Koondoola, Shepherds Bush Park Kingsley and the popular Britannia Reserve Pump Track. It’s a day out that’ll leave everyone with ear-to-ear grins!
Enjoy the great outdoors with a family bike ride, discover a new track or revisit a well loved pump track.
