TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Amidst the trend of family holidays that increasingly emphasize enjoyable experiences for all generations, Perth in Western Australia emerges as an ideal choice. This region presents a combination of natural beauty, educational attractions, and friendly city facilities, making it suitable for parents and children on a harmonious journey.
According to a written statement from Tourism Western Australia, tourists now prioritize vacations that not only entertain children but also provide relaxation for adults. Western Australia, particularly Perth and its surrounding areas, can meet these needs through various easily accessible and flexible destinations suitable for all ages.

One of the standout spots in the city center is Kings Park and Botanic Garden, known as one of the largest city parks in the world. This place offers vast greenery, comfortable walking paths, and a panorama of the Swan River and the Perth skyline. Inside, the Western Australian Botanic Garden houses over 3,000 species of endemic plants, making it a perfect location for a Kings Park and Botanic Garden tour that can be included in the daily agenda.
Not far from there, Rio Tinto Naturescape presents an interactive natural play concept, where children can explore while learning about the environment. This attraction is ideal as a complement to the journey, especially for families who wish to stay around Perth without traveling far.
For those who enjoy indoor experiences, the WA Museum Boola Bardip in the Perth Cultural Centre is a must-visit destination. This modern museum offers interactive exhibitions about the history, culture, and natural wealth of Western Australia, appealing to school-age children and large families. Its advantage is that it can be visited at any time, regardless of the weather conditions.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth Quay showcases the lively urban side with a waterfront area suitable for leisurely walks, family dinners, or simply enjoying the atmosphere. The area is equipped with open spaces and complete facilities, easily adaptable to family needs.
An adventure on the Swan River further complements the options, where tourists can walk, cycle along the banks, or take a cruise to enjoy the views along the river. This flexibility makes it easier for travel agents to arrange packages without altering the main plans.

Another favorite destination is Rottnest Island, which can be reached by ferry in just 1-1.5 hours from Perth. The island is famous for the quokka, a friendly animal that often becomes the main attraction for children, along with crystal-clear beaches and safe cycling paths.
With a combination of natural attractions, education, and easily linked city facilities, Western Australia provides opportunities for tour organizers to create varied and satisfying holiday programs for the whole family.
