Nature & Wildlife Activities for Kids in Perth

Perth's nature program centres on some of Australia's most unique wildlife. Caversham Wildlife Park in the Swan Valley is the closest major wildlife park to the CBD and always a school holiday favourite. The Penguin Island ferry from Rockingham adds little penguins to the list. Rottnest Island's quokkas — famously the world's happiest-seeming animal — are the highlight of any island day trip.
