Day 1: Saturday
You'll no doubt wake up Saturday morning feeling rejuvenated after a blissful sleep cocooned in the softness of Crown's cloud-like beds. Once you've risen, choose from one of the many breakfast options. Or head over to Optus Stadium and enjoy breakfast with river views at the City View Café. After breakfast, take part in Optus Stadium's incredible experiences at The OZONE. If you're looking for a thrill, VERTIGO will see you stepping off the roof of the stadium, or for something more chilled, the HALO roof climb allows you to take a 360-degree walk around the stadium's roof. Both of these activities cater to limited mobility, mobility aids, low vision and low hearing.

Situated on the banks of the Swan River, next to Optus Stadium, the venue is airy and inviting, with outdoor seating that allows you to soak up some sunshine as you ‘cheers’ to your love.
After lunch, wander across to Matagarup Mini Golf, where the course has been designed with all abilities in mind.
