There are so many great things to do in Perth with kids! Activities, attractions, parks, playgrounds, stores, picnics, patios, and more.

What to do with Kids

  • Go on an outdoor adventure! Hiking, biking, swimming, skating, parks, playgrounds and more!
  • Spend the day at Perth Major Outfitters playing mini-golf, racing pedal carts, playing table tennis, and paddling canoes, kayaks and SUPs down the Tay.
  • Go bowling! You have to check out The Spare Room for the retro vibes and 5-pin bowling alleys. 
  • Check out the family-friendly attractions (and hey, many great photo-ops on this list, too!), particularly the Mammoth Cheese, the Big Red Chair, The Red Fox "Welcome to Perth" mural, the Dry Stone Bridge, Stewart Park and the Band Shell. 
  • Visit some of the stores focused on children, such as Spring Children, Balderson Kids, Arikose, and Fawn and Fox, or those with kids' sections, such as Ground Waves.
  • Take the kids to the theatre! Perth is lucky to have a fantastic theatre company with performances both indoors and out. 
  • Enjoy a festival or event! Many are child-friendly, including Weekends in Perth ON.

Where to Eat with Kids

If you are getting take out for a picnic, you can't make a bad decision. Looking for something more specific? Read on!

  • Looking for a restaurant with a kids menu? Perth Tourism is working on a full list so check back soon! In the meantime, Michael's Table, Maximilian Restaurant, and Perth Pizzeria and Restaurant have all confirmed they have kids menus. 
  • Want a cold treat to take for a stroll in the park? Check out Peter's Restaurant for an ice cream take-out window; The Rideau Candy Shop for ice cream, candy, even cotton candy ice cream burritos; and North Folk Café for gelato (and a take-out window!).
  • Looking for a treat to enjoy on the spot or take home after your trip? 
    • Consider a bakery-style treat from a café, such as Coutts Coffee Roastery and Café, Hourglass, North Folk Café, Picnic Café + Catering, or The Twisted Fork Café and Bistro. 
    • What about a freshly baked (or a take-and-bake) pie from Perth Pie Co; fudge from Fall River & Co; gourmet donuts from Blackfly Grub Hub; or melt-in-your-mouth chocolate from Perth Chocolate Works
  •  Prefer something savoury? Try a charcut-a-cone from The Perth Cheese Shop.
