Flying with kids just got more exciting at Perth Airport’s T1 Domestic terminal, with the unveiling of a state-of-the-art children’s play area that perfectly captures the Australian spirit while keeping little travellers entertained.
Located after security and conveniently positioned next to Toby’s Estate café, this thoughtfully designed space allows parents to enjoy a relaxing coffee while keeping a watchful eye on their children as they explore and play before their flight.

The play area showcases a beautiful Australian-themed design featuring natural wood tones and playful kookaburra panels that create a welcoming and calming atmosphere. The centrepiece of the space is an exciting slide that promises to be a hit with energetic youngsters looking to burn off some pre-flight excitement.

For parents concerned about keeping their children entertained before a flight, this play area offers the perfect alternative to screen time. The physical activity helps tire out energetic kids before they need to sit still on the plane, potentially making for a more peaceful journey.
The play area’s location within T1 Domestic (after security) means families can relax knowing they’ve already completed check-in and security procedures, allowing them to fully enjoy the space without watching the clock too anxiously.
Whether you’re facing a short hop to Broome or a longer journey across Australia, this new addition to Perth Airport makes travelling with children a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
Tip for parents: Allow extra time before your flight to let your children fully enjoy the play area – it’s a great way to avoid the usual pre-flight restlessness!
