When school holidays roll around, Perth’s family-friendly pubs and local favourites are the place to be for hands-on fun that keeps little ones engaged and gives parents a chance to relax.
Here’s your guide to the best school holiday activities across Perth.
For families who want a polished pub lunch with a side of kid-friendly fun, The Claremont is a great western suburbs pick.
Their family offering keeps things simple and useful: regular kids club sessions, family fun days, and lots of entertainment during school holiday periods. Claremont Kids Club is every Sunday from 2pm to 4pm, with arts and crafts to keep little hands busy while parents settle in.
What families can expect:
Parent perk: order lunch, grab a drink, and enjoy that rare school holiday luxury of sitting down for more than four minutes.
The best part?
The kids are occupied. You are not in charge of the craft supplies.
Every Friday
Friday nights are sorted at Paddington Ale House, where weekly kids entertainment makes family dinners easy and enjoyable. With a rotating mix of face painting, arts and crafts, and roaming entertainers, there’s always something new to keep little ones busy.
It’s a simple, stress-free way to wrap up the week: kids stay entertained, parents enjoy dinner, and everyone leaves happy. Easy for you, fun for them — just how school holidays should be.
Step into a world of colour, creativity, and sugar-sweet fun at The Bentley. The Bentley is the kind of venue that understands families need options.
Kids can play, parents can eat, and the whole thing does not need to become a major expedition. Their family page notes kids activities every Sunday from 12pm, plus one themed kids club adventure each month with roaming characters, creative activities and interactive play zones.
What families can expect:
Parent perk: settle into the bistro or beer garden and let the venue do the heavy lifting for a while. No glitter in your car. No paint on your dining table. Beautiful.
Every Sunday
Sundays at BrewDog Perth are all about balance. While parents kick back and enjoy lunch, the BrewDog Kids Club delivers two hours of free entertainment packed with games, crafts, and plenty of laughs.
It’s relaxed, reliable, and totally kid-approved — the kind of setup that turns a simple Sunday lunch into a family ritual. Parent-loved, kid-approved, and 100% free.
From magic kingdom’s and craft days and weekly kids clubs, Western Australia’s school holiday programs are packed with creativity, colour, and moments that make family time easy.
These venues make it simple to plan ahead, drop in, and enjoy quality time together — without overthinking it.
Lock in your favourites, round up the family, and let the WA school holiday adventures begin.
