Things To Do
Escape This
If you want to test your dates, mates or fam while having a whole lotta fun, head straight into one of the totally immersive escape room challenges at Escape This. The rooms are some of the best-rated in Perth and you truly can't beat its handy Northbridge location; perfectly positioned if you and your fellow escapists want to hit the town afterwards… that is, should you escape in one piece.
Activities & Itineraries
Ready Team One
If you’re looking for your next night out, look no further than Perth’s very own Ready Team One, a Virtual Reality experience like no other.
Bars & Pubs
Palace Arcade Fremantle
Palace Arcade Fremantle is much like their much-loved East Victoria Park and Northbridge locations: there’s delicious New York style pizzas bigger than your head, a fine-tuned drinks list overflowing with a rotating selection of crafty brews and boss-level cocktails, and all the retro arcade games you could ask for. But the Freo location is (dare we say) a level up on anything we’ve seen before.

Activities & Itineraries
House Of Hobby
House of Hobby hosts some of Perth’s best workshops to get your creative juices flowing, from arts and crafts to sweet life skills that will definitely come in handy when you’re trying your hand at DIY interior design. If that doesn’t pique your interests, let’s add some wine and champagne to the mix and get you fired up.
Homewares
Clay Make Studio
If you're into ceramics, Clay Make Studio is offering up some of the best pottery workshops in Perth. From wheel-throwing to designing, hand making and even creating your own glazes, they've got a workshop for every level of potter. Run by a mother-daughter duo, the open-access studio offers memberships for seasoned potters which include equipment and shelving space, as well as discounted firing. We like the sound of the Creative Hand-Building workshop.

Plus a second Holey Moley golf course, of course.
Homewares
Work-Shop Fremantle
After huge success in the eastern states, Work-Shop has come to Fremantle to offer the people of Perth affordable creative art and life workshops! Offering classes as varied as gin blending, skincare botanicals and glow painting, it's no wonder the concept has been popular across Australia. Located in a stellar spot overlooking Bather’s Beach and the J Shed, we reckon it's the perfect excuse for a trip down to Freo.
