Meet Bunbury’s most famous locals
Dolphin Discovery Centre
Koombana Bay is home to a friendly pod of wild dolphins, and the Dolphin Discovery Centre gives you the chance to meet them up close. Learn about local marine life in the interpretive centre, or book a boat or swim tour if you’re ready to dive in. A must-do for all ages.
Let the kids run wild
Koolambidi Woola
Translating to ‘celebrating young people’ in the local Noongar language, Koolambidi Woola is Bunbury’s award-winning youth precinct. This vibrant space offers a skate park, parkour areas, a multi-sports court, a beach climbing net, and even mini golf.
Sykes Foreshore Splash Park
Right on the waterfront and free to enjoy, this colourful splash park is a winner for kids (and parents). Picnic spots, play equipment, and dolphin spotting nearby make this an easy way to fill an afternoon.
Mangrove Cove Playground
Climb, crawl and slide through this nature-inspired playground with views over the bay. It’s a perfect stop before or after a walk through the mangroves.
Explore something unexpected
Bunbury Regional Art Gallery (BRAG)
Located in a beautiful pink former convent, BRAG showcases thought-provoking exhibitions from local and national artists. Bonus: it’s right in the heart of town, so you can wander straight from art to espresso.
Mangrove Cove Boardwalk
Wander through one of the southernmost mangrove ecosystems in WA on a peaceful timber boardwalk. Look out for crabs, birdlife, and interpretive signage that brings the landscape to life.
Koombana Bay Lookout
A short walk, a big payoff. Climb to this modern lookout for panoramic views over the bay, city, and beyond. Sunset recommended.
Bunbury Wildlife Park
Hand-feed kangaroos, meet Aussie icons like wombats and dingoes, and get up close with colourful birds. Bunbury Wildlife Park is a great stop for animal lovers of all ages.
