Fremantle is back up and running with parks, beaches, museums, activities, shopping and restaurants to suit the whole family.
If you've got a family of early risers, why not start the day with brekkie in Fremantle?
Moore & Moore Cafe has a great play area out the back and offers a delicious menu and right next door to Paper Bird Children's Books and Arts which is always worth a look. Chalkys Espresso Bar near the Round House and Carriage Coffee Shop in Esplanade Reserve are open for dine in, as are Gino's and Benny's on the Cappuccino Strip. In North Fremantle you can get a side of fresh air with tasty meals at The Orange Box at Leighton Beach or try Bruce Town on Queen Victoria Street. Ootong and Lincoln is a great spot for families or you can grab a coffee and take away breakfast from many of the wonderful cafes in South Fremantle and take them down to South Beach Reserve to enjoy by the sea.
With a full tummy you can get on your way to exploring the port city.

If the kids are keen skaters, scooters or love their bikes be sure to take them to the Esplanade Youth Plaza. There is a playground close by that will be open for climbing too! Take in Fremantle from a different view with a ride on the Tourist Wheel while you're at it.
There are plenty of other playgrounds and parks open across the city too including Tuckfield Oval Playground, overlooking the Containbow and Booyeembara Park.
Fremantle's world-famous attractions are getting back up and running. Have you ever been on a tour of the Fremantle Prison? This UNESCO World Heritage attraction is reopening for tours on Saturday 6 June - be sure to book in advance if you are planning to check this out.
The recently revamped Timezone is open with a fully-stocked prize shop and the latest games available and Escape Hunt is fun for the whole family.
While you are out and about, grab an ice cream and stroll to Bather's Beach for a look at the remnants of the original jetty. Choose from Ben & Jerry's, Freo Icecream & Waffles, Cocco Bianco Gelato and Swan River Gelato.

Maybe you plan to start your family outing in the afternoon...
With your ice cream in hand, you could wonder the Manjaree Walking Trail around the Bather's Beach Precinct and learn about the Nyoongar seasons, bush tucker, trade and other customs relevant to Manjaree. While you are in the West End, visit WA's oldest public building, the Round House. There are plenty of walking and cycling trails to investigate - check them out here.
Just around the corner, The WA Shipwrecks Museum is the foremost maritime archaeology museum in the southern hemisphere and the most visited museum in Western Australia. Steeped in history, the galleries house hundreds of relics from ships wrecked along Western Australia's treacherous coastline, including the original timbers from the Batavia (wrecked in 1629).
Fremantle is lucky to have not one, but two museum sites! The WA Maritime Museum houses several unique galleries that explore WA's relationship with the sea and is located at Victoria Quay - perfect for spotting dolphins in the harbour.
There's no way you have dinner sorted if you've been out all afternoon so why not stay in Freo for an easy meal?

All this adventuring works up an appetite! Stay for dinner at Cicerello's, it's a favourite for families with their fish tanks and fish and chips and the boardwalk at Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour offers a beautiful view. On the Cappuccino Strip, Capri offers traditional Italian family dining and a 'bambini' menu for children until 12 years old. Grill'd Fremantle has great and healthy burgers and Pizza Bella Roma has ... can you guess? ... great pizza!
