The 10 Best Fun Activities & Games in Perth CBD, Western Australia

April 29, 2022 Renato Branum

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.

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.

Elizabeth Quay Carousel

Experience the wonder and enjoyment of a traditional Venetian Carousel right here at Elizabeth Quay. The Elizabeth Quay Carousel has been brought to the Perth waterfront by local jeweller Rohan Milne, of bespoke jewellery boutique, Rohan Jewellery. After visiting a similar carousel with his family in Spain and experiencing the fine artisan work in person, Rohan was inspired to bring a similar joy to the people of Perth and visitors from around the world who can now experience this creation themselves. Built in the Veneto region of Northern Italy, the Elizabeth Quay Carousel has a combination of horses and carriages with handpainted Venetian artworks. It has been created by some of Europe’s best artisans and is set to traditional carousel music, which is sure to delight both the young and young at heart.
