Fabulous tour, interesting and educational. We took 6yo and was good. Wouldn’t recommend for kids any younger in my personal opinion as I think they may not be able to stay as focused.
The guided tour is interesting and enriching. Get to see a live demonstration of how a gold bar is made.
It was absolutely wonderful!
One of the best things to do in Perth!
Our tour guide was Madeline she was clearly spoken, full of jocularity - in one word she was excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour it was very informative!
