Elizabeth Quay

We had such a lovely time at Elizabeth Quay today. The kids first had fun at the Island Playground, exploring, climbing, and playing to their hearts’ content. After that, they cooled off and splashed around at the Water Playground, which was the perfect way to enjoy the warm day. We then took a nice stroll along the quay, soaking in the beautiful city skyline and peaceful river views. It was such a refreshing outing – full of fun for the kids and relaxation for us.

A little hard to park to come here but it was OK. The app it wanted me to pay wit didn't load properly. But i rang the council and they advised there were also machines on the footpath to use so we got it sorted. It was a lovely area to chill. Had it been a more appropriate time of day we could have got icecream. There were a lot of people using the space.

This place is a haven for personal relaxation, offering a sense of calm and tranquility that truly helps me unwind. With its stunning and serene scenery, it's a perfect backdrop for quiet reflection. For those who enjoy being active outdoors, it's well-suited for running, biking, or just a gentle walk. Do note that most shops and restaurants in the area close their doors around 6 PM.

The Quay provides some of the best photo opportunities in Perth, framing the modern city skyline with water and the symbolic Bell Tower. The atmosphere here is a blend of romance and relaxed leisure. Sunset is gorgeous, in my opinion it’s the best time to visit as the area transforms with illuminated bridges and buildings, excellent for an evening strolls. Not far away is a carousel that is a favourite with children and adds a touch of classic fun to the waterfront.

A breadth of fresh air. Riverside jetty makes it so refreshing and calming. Seating on the docks, watching birds chirping, is so lively. Those mini rides for kids make it a good family outing. There are so many options of eating out. Communication is absolutely spot on with the bus stand just right beside it.

Elizabeth Quay is a scenic harbourfront with modern office towers, dining spots, and plenty of space for a leisurely walk. From here, you can catch the ferry to South Perth in just 10 minutes, making it a great half-day experience when combined with a riverside stroll or meal. Walking across the Elizabeth Quay Bridge and then hopping on the ferry offers some of the best views of the city and river. The ideal times to visit are early morning before lunch or in the late afternoon towards dinner. Do note the area is open and unsheltered, so it can feel quite hot during the day.

Very historic area. Very pretty and lights up at night. There is lots of signs to learn about the history and aboriginals. Really enjoyed this experience. There are also lots of places for drinks or food nearby.

I love going to Elizabeth Quay in the evening. The view is amazing, especially when the sun sets and the city lights start to shine. It’s such a nice spot to walk around and just enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Whether you’re by the water, taking in the art, or just sitting and watching the boats, it’s a great place to unwind.
