Entertainment

Perth’s fully wheelchair-accessible zoo has a collection of 171 species and more than 1,300 individual animals.

To get the full experience, book at least half a day for this attraction. Perth zoo has a mix of indoor and outdoor enclosures which are easily accessible. The exhibits are designed to be as natural as possible.

Fishability helps fishers with disabilities enjoy recreational jetty and vessel-based fishing regardless of ability.

Participate through the group or check out the Fishability map to choose your own location.

Spots marked with green pins have designated disabled parking, toilets and easy access facilities.

This waterfront attraction was designed for entertainment and leisure.

Since opening early 2016, the public area has come alive with bars, restaurants, shopping, an interactive waterpark, ferry terminal, island and bridge with universal access.

Explore The Promenades circuit for outstanding views, visit The Landing for pop-up attractions and to wine and dine, or relax at the family-friendly café by The Island.

The closest ACROD parking bays are on Riverside Drive, Geoffrey Bolton Avenue and The Esplanade.

Pathways are also interconnected with boardwalks and ramps, with accessible toilet facilities including Perth’s first Changing Places toilet for people with disabilities.

Perth’s outdoor lifestyle is a top reason for living or visiting here.

To take full advantage, visit Araluen Botanic Park located in the scenic Perth hills and one of the city’s best hidden gems.

Head 40 minutes’ drive from the CBD to explore 59 hectares of native gardens.

Although spring is the best time for the full magnificent display of blooms, the manicured landscapes and waterfalls are excuses to visit anytime.

The park has special needs access, wheelchair hire and mapped pathways which are easily accessible by scooters or electric wheelchairs.

Foodies in the area should also check out the Roleystone Sunday markets, which have over 100 stalls, or why not visit the local vineyards.

Housed in an 1850s-era Fremantle building, the shipwreck museum is now restored with some of the most fascinating under-the-sea exhibits on display.

Immerse yourself in ancient submarines, peal luggers and remains from ships wrecked along WA’s coastline. If you enjoy maritime history, it’s the perfect place to discover more about the local oceans and their vessels.

Wheelchair hire is available, with ACRDO parking and specialised tours available for people with disabilities.
