Hit the bullseye, then raise a glass
Put your skills to the test at Lumber Punks Axe Throwing, where friendly competition meets serious fun.

With 20 throwing lanes and sessions suitable for beginners through to seasoned competitors, it's the perfect way to get the adrenaline flowing.
Once you've crowned the champion, head just around the corner to Whipper Snapper Distillery. Discover how its award-winning whisky is crafted on a guided distillery tour, sample locally made spirits, or join a cocktail masterclass and pick up a few new tricks to impress your friends at your next gathering.
Game on a Karrinyup
Round up your friends for a day of laughs and friendly competition at Strike Bowling and Hijinx Hotel at Karrinyup Shopping Centre. Tackle immersive challenge rooms, test your skills on the bowling lanes and settle the score before heading upstairs to Ciao Dandy for handcrafted cocktails and Italian-inspired share plates. It's the perfect all-weather birthday celebration that combines games, great food and a lively atmosphere.
Host the ultimate floating BBQ party
Swap the backyard barbecue for Mandurah's stunning waterways with a BBQ Boat from Mandurah Cruises. Captain your own electric boat as you cruise the canals, fire up the onboard barbecue and enjoy 360-degree waterfront views with your favourite people. Bring your own food and drinks, keep an eye out for Mandurah's famous dolphins, and settle in for a relaxed afternoon that's equal parts sightseeing and celebration.
Once you're back on shore, keep the celebrations going at The Peninsula. Overlooking Mandurah's eastern foreshore, it's the perfect place to round out the day with cocktails, a leisurely dinner and live entertainment on weekends. Whether you're celebrating a birthday or simply catching up with friends, it's an easy way to turn a great afternoon into a memorable evening.
Create your own Swan Valley celebration
Gather your favourite people and head to the Swan Valley for a celebration filled with great wine, delicious food and plenty of fun. Start with a guided cellar door tasting at Sandalford Wines, where you can sample premium wines, including exclusive cellar door releases. Looking to add a little friendly competition? Challenge your group to a round of Supa Golf & Supa Putt before settling in at The Llawn at Mandoon Estate for relaxed drinks, casual bites and plenty of space for larger groups to unwind.
If you're celebrating with a group and would rather leave the driving to someone else, d'Vine Wine Tours and Up Close and Local Tours offer guided Swan Valley experiences, making it easy to explore the region's wineries, breweries and gourmet attractions while everyone enjoys the day.
Celebrate with the mystery picnic
Swap a traditional birthday lunch for an adventure with AmazingCo's Experiences Mystery Picnic. Solve clues and puzzles as you travel between local producers, collecting gourmet treats to fill your picnic basket before arriving at a scenic picnic destination. Choose from locations including Chittering, Mandurah, Fremantle and more, with each experience designed to showcase the region's local flavours, hidden gems and beautiful scenery. It's a unique way to celebrate with friends while exploring somewhere new.
A round of mini golf and dinner in any weather?
Five minutes south of Fremantle is Glowing Rooms, a venue that offers 18 holes of 3D mini golf under one roof. At Glowing Rooms, holes are painted in 800 sqm of glowing 3-D artwork, showcasing some of Australia’s most iconic sites and animals. The course is perfect for all skill levels and, unlike on a full-size course, you can play in any weather. This is the best mini-golf experience in Perth hands down, ideal for your next birthday celebration.
After you've thoroughly trounced your friends on the course Republic of Fremantle's will be waiting for you. The distillery restaurant serves a “flame forward” menu with dishes inspired by Republic of Fremantle's distilling roots.
Sail into the Fremantle sunset
Celebrate your birthday with the best of Fremantle's waterfront. Start the afternoon at Little Creatures, where you can gather your group for craft beers, share plates and harbour views before wandering along the Fishing Boat Harbour to board Charter 1's Fremantle Twilight Sunset Sail.
Departing from Fremantle Harbour aboard a luxury catamaran, the sunset cruise offers a relaxing evening on the Indian Ocean with a complimentary glass of prosecco as the sun dips below the horizon. During whale season, you may even be lucky enough to spot migrating humpback whales, making an already memorable birthday celebration even more special.
Celebrate from above
For a birthday that's truly memorable, take to the skies with Jandakot Heli-Co. This family-owned helicopter company flies private scenic flights over Perth's city skyline, the Swan River and the coastline, so it's just your group taking in the view. It's an easy way to make an ordinary birthday feel like a genuinely special occasion.
Celebrate with a night of world-class entertainment
Swap the usual birthday dinner for an unforgettable night of live entertainment. Whether it's a stunning classical or contemporary performance by West Australian Ballet, an evening of music with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO), a night of comedy at Comedy Lounge Perth City or a blockbuster concert, comedy show or sporting event at RAC Arena, there's no shortage of memorable ways to celebrate. Pair the performance with dinner or drinks beforehand to create a birthday experience that's sure to impress.
Celebrate under the stars
Swap cocktails for constellations with an evening at Perth Observatory. Join a guided night sky tour, look through historic telescopes and discover planets, star clusters and distant galaxies before finishing the evening with supper or drinks in the Perth Hills.
