Horizons West

They say that ‘the best things in life are free’, and this couldn’t be more true when it comes to organising fun activities to get your kids out of the house! Take a look at these free attractions to keep your kids entertained these school holidays.

The Synergy Parkland is a recreation area on the Western side of Kings Park. The playground is particularly suitable for children over six years with a 75m long elevated walkway, island forts, large-scale replicas Australian mammals and picnic areas.

The Herdsman Wildlife Centre is a great place to visit on a rainy day – or any other day really, the kids will love it! Signage requests a gold coin donation on entry, but apart from this, the Herdsman Wildlife Centre is free. There are lots of educational interactive displays, beautiful aquariums and viewing platforms overlooking the lake area.

Geocaching is like a treasure hunt – using GPS technology you can find little hidden treasures all over Perth and WA! This is a great way to get the kids out enjoying nature using a free smart phone app. To find out more about Geocaching or to create a free account go to www.geocaching.com.

Stuck in the house on a rainy day? Check out your local shopping centre for free activities and special guest appearances! Karrinyup’s Disney themed holiday programs include a Frozen themed ice-skating rink and a Disney Planes inflatable bouncing castle. Kids can also get a photo with Queen Elsa and Princess Anna! Check out your local shopping centre for more free holiday programs.

Keeping the kids out of the house during the school holidays doesn’t have to be expensive! Get the kids out and explore the best free activities that Perth has to offer.

Remember the excitement this time last year as our Freo boys made history by getting into the Grand Final? Looks like we could do it again!

The Freo Express is celebrating it’s 1^st anniversary, and we’re wondering if  (finger’s crossed) we’ll be heading back across the Nullabor to watch them in the Grand Final.           

This weekend our beloved Dockers play Port Adelaide for fourth, and could be well on their way! Who wants to board the #FreoExpress?

Last year, our little trip reached over 2 million people nationally and received coverage on channel 9’s Today Show, press and online platforms. It was way more than transport to Melbourne, it was an Experience of the #FreoExpress, which made us change our motto – Horizons West, A Moving Experience.

Our goal at Horizons West is to bring you a moving experience. But we realized for that to happen we had to move ourselves!

We have just finished construction on our brand new headquarters in Welshpool. The bigger space means we can have more buses to take you further and farther.

Our brand new yard is at 105-111 Ewing St Welshpool.

We are all settled in to our new space now but check out how the construction developed here!

Welcome to the Horizons West News & Videos page. Here we will keep you updated with the latest information about us our exciting new tours and showing you how we create amazing new experiences day to day!
