10 Fun Activities & Games in Perth That You Shouldn't Miss

December 9, 2021 Esmeralda Fenner

Perched on the banks of the wide Swan River, between the Indian Ocean and the sands of the Nullarbor Desert, Perth is one of the world's most isolated cities, yet still boasts an active beach scene and smokin’ nightlife. Family-friendly Cottesloe is brimming with swimmers, surfers and snorkelers. Head north to Scarborough for a spirited beachside club scene. Coo at cute marsupials on ferry-accessible Rottnest Island, and don’t miss the views from King's Park and Botanic Gardens.

We (2 adults and 1 eight year old) did The Scepter of Tutankhamun room this evening and had a really good time. Emily (our game master) was friendly and very helpful when we needed a hint, without giving too much away. She was also very generous in giving us extra time to finally “escape”. The venue is clean and modern and the room we did had good, mentally challenging and technically impressive problems to solve. We found this room a bit too tricky in places for our 8 year old, but there were enough kid-friendly parts of most of the challenges to hold her attention to the end. The room did not require any special physical strength or stamina - although one part needs two sets of fairly steady hands. We will go back and try another room soon - highly recommended way to spend an hour or so exercising your brain.

The Nostalgia Box Museum

Featured in 2019 Guinness World Record Gamer's Edition and Lonely Planet, The Nostalgia Box is Australia's first interactive Video Game Console Museum. The museum is a celebration of video games and the people that made them happen. The museum contains more than 100 consoles, representing the evolution—and sometimes revolution—that occurred from the 1970s through the 2000s. Go behind the scenes of your favorite games and consoles, learning about the tremendous work that went into them. Play a plethora of classic video games, replaying games from your childhood or making entirely new discoveries. Play a round of Pong, challenge a friend to a high score in Space Invaders, or blast through levels of Super Mario Bros, Sonic the Hedgehog, Alex Kidd, and Crash Bandicoot. This is merely scratching the surface. Relive your childhood, discover gaming's sometimes secret history, and plant appreciation for old-school gaming in a younger generation.

The Nostalgia Box is a museum about gaming and specifically video games, as it contains more than 100 consoles. The Nostalgia Box is the first interactive video game console museum in Australia and it is located in the Western of the country, in Perth. It was featured in the 2019 Guinness World Record Gamer’s Edition and Lonely Planet. I am a big gamer myself and I couldn’t miss out on the opportunity to visit this incredible place. I choose to play only pokies that require no download and no registration because I don’t like wasting time. I find pokies that work at pokieslab.com, link attached in by bio. I am not a big console player but I couldn’t pass out on this. I tried playing some original Nintendo games such as SEGA and I have to say that comparing to pokies it was a familiar experience. The simplicity of the gaming experience is the same and both have a nostalgic feeling sometimes. Pokies are simple games with a clear goal like many other older games. Playing pokies online though was a little different than playing live with people surrounding you and I wouldn’t say I like the attention. I also played some of the Arcade games that I was too young to experience when they were in.

A very chilled out and well ran venue. Grab some food/drinks from the cafe and play a large variety of pinball machines/retro arcade games, or book a full Virtual reality experience designed specifically for the venue with the latest technology available. I would recommend anyone to at least try out one session here as you’ll be amazed by what is possible with today’s virtual reality capabilities, especially if you have never tried anything like this before.

I did the one-hour 737 experience. I did two take offs and two landings, including one challenging approach. The instructor was great and the experience was really fun! You get a feeling of how complex it is to fly this kind of aircraft. I highly recommend it.
