Things to do in Perth at night

The best things to do in Perth at night include hidden bar tours, scavenger hunts and the Optus Stadium climb.

Perth, the Western Australian capital, is renowned as a sunny place. During the day, the great outdoors has plenty to offer, whether on a day trip to Rottnest Island, surfing at Scarborough Beach or enjoying the views in Kings Park.

When the sun goes down, Perth still has plenty of life. But does the list of things to do in Perth at night stretch beyond bars and restaurants?

Things to do in Perth at night: Hidden bar tours

Well, mercifully, yes. The first Perth night activity option is a small group tour hopping between small bars that you might not otherwise find. These hidden bar tours through Perth CBD also take in some of the city’s best street art. At time of writing, these evening bar tours cost $52 and can be booked online.

You can also try a digital scavenger hunt, using challenges and quests downloaded to your phone. This is a way of turning exploring Perth into a game. It can be done in the day, but given that everything else can be done in the day, you may as well save this one up as a Perth night activity. Get full details here.

Things to do in Perth at night: Optus Stadium climb

For something much more adventurous, you can try the Vertigo experience at the Optus Stadium. This sees you climb up to the top of the stadium roof, then venture out onto a platform overhanging the edge. You’re strapped on with a harness, and can lean backwards over the edge if you dare. This experience can be done in the day, but it’s more spectacular at twilight with the sun setting.

Tickets for the Optus Stadium Vertigo experience cost from $109 at time of writing and should be booked in advance.
