Enjoy a wildlife encounter

Explore the great outdoors of the Swan Valley and make some furry friends.

Caversham Wildlife Park showcases many of Australia’s unique native animals, providing visitors with the opportunity to hand-feed kangaroos, pose for a pic with the koalas and meet a hairy-nosed wombat. Alongside its native fauna, Caversham Wildlife Park is also home to Molly's Farm, an interactive farmyard experience where visitors can feed the buffalo, llama, deer and other animals.

A visit to the Swan Valley Cuddly Animal Farm provides children (and adults too!) with the opportunity to experience the joy of interacting with friendly farmyard animals such as cows, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and many more. Daily feeding times allow visitors to get hands-on with bottle- or bucket-feeding.

At the WA Reptile Park visitors can interact with some scalier customers including lizards, pythons and snakes.

Heading out on The Vines Resort Kangaroo Safari affords tour participants an up close view of the local mob lounging on the Resort's golf course.

The vast expanse of Whiteman Park is home to hundreds of different animal, bird and plant species which can be explored via the Children's Forest, the Woodland Reserve and multiple bush walking trails.

Have a game of kid-friendly golf

The Swan Valley has a range of golf options that everyone can play, which means fabulous fun for the whole family!

Supa Golf & Supa Putt is set in stunning landscaped grounds and the longer version, Supa Golf, involves a modified form of traditional golf using larger clubs and balls made of softer material. What this means is while the ball travels no further than 100m, the essence of traditional golf remains! Add a putting cup 2.5 times larger than a traditional golf hole and even the little ones will be showing Tiger Woods how it's done.

For the mini golf aficionados there's the beautifully landscaped Vines Mini Golf at the picturesque Vines Resort, Supa Putt at the aforementioned Supa Golf venue, and a fun course at The Taphouse at Mulberry Estate.
