Free guided walking tours are available daily at 1000 and 1400, throughout the year. An information centre is located near Frasers Restaurant and is open daily all year between 0930 and 1600, except Christmas Day.

The Kings Park Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority and the voluntary group known as the 'Kings Park Guides' invite you to visit Kings Park, one of Western Australia's most popular and unique tourist attractions.

Situated only a few minutes from the centre of Perth, the Park has much to offer with it's sweeping parklands, wildflowers, natural bush and Botanic Garden. There are extensive city and river views with a panorama to the Darling Scarp. On a clear day, from the top of the DNA Tower in Forrest Drive, the Indian Ocean can be seen to the west.
