A great spot in the city with museums, galleries and the library all close together. The open space feels relaxed and never too crowded. Nice place for a walk, visiting exhibitions or just spending some quiet time in the city.

Adelina Holmes
Lovely area of the city with both free and paid attractions. Especially good for a cold day in winter, loads to see and do inside. Currently there's construction in the middle between the galleries and museums but the people working there are happy to help direct you where to go.
Kay Rose
Absolutely beautiful, definitely a few hours out of you if you enjoy reading! So many different floors, interactive for children, they’ll love it! Lots of fun things to learn and see!

One of my favourite Perth City locations. It’s a really interesting with the WA Museum, State Library, Heath Ledger Theatre, PICA all offering world-class cultural opportunities. My wife and I feel safe. We most often visit late morning; have a coffee at the art gallery, browse a few rooms of the gallery for our cultural fix. Our recent visit was to “The Kimberley Experience”VR . FANTASTIC! Recomm...
