You’ve had a huge week, and you’re ready to let your hair down with pals, but you need to find somewhere that the whole gang (old and young) can join in the fun? We’ve got you. We’ve rounded up some of the coolest playgrounds, sandpits and kid’s menus around town to make sure everyone is left smiling and having a ball.
Here are some of Perth’s best kid friendly restaurants and bars in Perth.
Gage Roads
Freo’s favourite new gastropub really does have something for everyone. From their sweeping views of the water, to their to-die-for lobster rolls and fab home brews, you’re in for a perfect balmy afternoon catch up here. The best bit for parents? Their massive outdoor fun zone for children featuring an old ‘60s land cruiser and a bunch of cray boats to climb and roam that has lots of seating so you can remain close by.
Seasonal Brewing Co
This Maylands hot spot is perfect to sip a vino out in the sunshine, and with an outstanding food offerings (including some tasty treats for the kiddies) and plenty of space for the pups and babes to run around in, your weekend is sorted. With a huge sandpit and lots of toys to keep them entertained, all you’ll need to do is decide which of their house-made bevvies you’re keen for next.
Quarter Acre Hotel
A bright massive outdoor playground and sandpit where you can sip on your cocktail but still watch the little ones from a safe distance? Sign us up. This relaxed super cool spot on Canning Highway in Applecross is the perfect destination for your next catch up with the whole crew that will allow you to spend the arvo working through their big delish menu whilst not having to stress about the kids drawing on tables. What a win.
Roar Bar And Grill
This little hidden gem is absolutely adored by Bibra Lake locals for its massive enclosed playground, outdoor bar and great no-frills restaurant menu that is super safe for the family. With a great burger range and some excellent rotating house specials, you’re in for a great value meal for the whole tribe.
Kings Road Brewing Co
It seems that breweries really have their act together when it comes to creating little child-friendly wonderlands, and Kings Road Brewing Co in Oldbury is no exception. This very safe, dream-like spot not only creates some serious beers and brews, but a next level playground fit for your little kings and queens featuring old cars to climb, plenty of colour and lots of grass to run around on. You’ll love the relaxed atmosphere, and tasty pub grub too.
Core Cider
Another brilliant spot up in the hills, Core Cider up in Pickering Brook is ideal not only for a lazy arvo in the orchards, but is also great for a school holiday activity to wear out the youngsters with their seasonal fruit picking and carriage tours of the grounds to teach you more about how their produce is created. Once you’re done, you can perch yourself upstairs looking over the lush greenery at luxe Orchard Bistro, or if you’re feeling more casual, why not grab a blanket and chill down on the grass with an ice cream in the Cider Garden.
Little Creatures
We love a good bowl of Little Creatures’ crispy salty chippies and a great bevvie on a chilled out afternoon looking out onto the water, while the kids have a great time out in the fab sandpit and playground area. This Freo favourite has tonnes of indoor and outdoor space to sit and enjoy no matter the weather, and has you covered with a bunch of great small people options to eat that will impress even the fussiest of eaters.
Sienas Leederville
This beloved Leedy Italian institution feels like it’s been around since the dawn of time, and has lasted for good reason. Boasting some of the most authentic mouth-watering pizzas, pastas and traditional delights, the whole family can come to enjoy an unpretentious meal and then let the littleys run off to the designated playroom full of goodies to keep them entertained while you savour those last spoonfuls of your tiramisu. Bonus points, there’s multiple ice cream stores within a few meters to treat the kids if they’ve been on their best behaviour.
Zamia Cafe
If you’re from around here, you’ve most likely spent many joyful hours roaming around Kings Park Playground as a kid on a sunny day. Zamia Cafe sits pretty overlooking the wildlife of the glorious park, and on a beautiful morning, we can’t think of anywhere we’d rather be. With freshly baked treats and some tasty all-day meals, why not organise that overdue catch up out on the deck?
The Camfield
This huge bustling micropub overlooking Optus Stadium is surprisingly a great spot to bring the fam along to as it offers loads of lush grassed area and beanbag spaces for you to prop yourself down while the kids have a play close by as well as all-round great vibes. The clever team have also just recently opened The Camfield Creche, the self-proclaimed ‘pub guardian angels’ who can watch over your little ones whilst you can just ease into the weekend. How good.
The Garden
Another gorgeous bright open-air spot, The Garden and neighbouring Servo Courtyard both offer heaps of room for kiddies to run around without causing any unimpressed looks from other tables, and also has a yummy menu dedicated to their sometimes delicate taste buds. Whether you want to sit upstairs for some sweeping Leedy views, or are there to cheer on your team on the big screen, this place is completely friendly for both your little human and furry pals, so no one misses out.
Bailey Brewing Co
They’re nothing like a weekend drive, so why not pack the car and take the whole gang up to the hills to visit the beautiful recently opened Bailey Brewing Co. This West Swan brewery is responsible for creating some incredible brews, hearty tasting boards and plenty of yummy options for the kids, with stacks of grassed area for them to tire themselves out on and a pretty epic wooden playground they’ll spend hours in.
