Things to Do
There’s a bike at reception with your name on it!
Surrounded by some of the city’s major attractions and situated just a three-minute stroll from a central train station, the Alex Hotel is an explorer’s dream base.
You could start at Kings Park, a sprawling oasis of green that allows you to venture through 400 hectares of bushland and Botanic Gardens, where over 2000 Indigenous wildflowers and plant species thrive. Once you’re done there, head to the Art Gallery of Western Australia for your fix of culture and colour.
Prefer something a little more daring? Perth’s Adventure World amusement park turns it up with thrilling rides and water attractions for a fun day out. Plus, there’s always the Perth Zoo and the Aquarium of Western Australia. From adorable koalas to mesmerising marine life, you’ve got a one-way ticket to meet the stars of the animal kingdom up close and personal.
Or head to the white sands of Perth’s unbeatable local beaches for early morning swims or incredible sunsets. Try City Beach, Trigg, Scarborough, Cottesloe, Leighton, or Hillary’s…you can’t really go wrong.
The perfect family experience
Walk out our front door and you have the WA Museum, WA Art Gallery, State Library (which has an amazing mezzanine children’s floor), Yagan Square, and the entire city at your feet.
Ride the free CAT Bus system to connect you (with kids, pram or wagon in tow) to Kings Park, Elizabeth Quay, or Scitech Discovery Centre. And enjoy the Swan River by boat as you sail over via ferry to explore the Perth Zoo. Experience the magic of our wonderful city with enough to keep a family entertained for weeks, without buckling into the car once.
