What to Do at Crown Perth: Dining, Entertainment and Planning Your Visit

If you’re deciding what to do at Crown Perth, start with a meal, a show, a spa treatment or an overnight stay. The Burswood precinct also has shopping and live entertainment, and you don’t have to gamble to visit. Crown Perth Casino is a separate, adults-only gaming area. Each venue has its own prices, hours and entry conditions, so check the details that matter to your group before booking or travelling.
Choose activities that suit your visit
The best way to compare things to do at Crown Perth is to choose one main activity, then plan the rest of your visit around it. A theatre ticket, restaurant reservation or spa appointment gives you a fixed point for working out transport and any other bookings.
Keep access in mind as well as budget. Dining and entertainment are separate from gambling, but some bars and restaurants are inside or adjoining the restricted casino area. Families and visitors who prefer not to enter it should check their chosen venue’s entrance and route.
- For an evening out: choose a performance first, then find a restaurant sitting that fits.
- For a non-gambling visit: combine a meal, shopping, a show or a spa treatment, checking access to each venue.
- For a family outing: look for an age-appropriate performance and confirm restaurant, accompaniment and route requirements.
- For an overnight break: compare hotel rates and inclusions for your dates, including the relevant pool rules.
Eat and drink at Crown Perth
Crown Perth restaurants range from casual pub-style dining to a buffet and Japanese dishes. The right choice depends on your preferred meal, your group’s needs and how much time you have before another booking.
The Merrywell is a casual option with menus, table bookings and live-music information on its venue page. Check both venue and kitchen hours for your chosen day: they are not necessarily the same.
Atrium Buffet, in the Crown Metropol lobby, offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Crown says bookings are essential and guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Compare the price for your sitting with drinks, the available dining time and any applicable surcharges.
Atrium’s published terms require card details and list a $50-per-person cancellation fee for less than 12 hours’ notice, or less than 48 hours for groups of 10 or more. These are Atrium-specific terms and can change. Its webpage and linked pricing document have also given conflicting surcharge information, so confirm the final charge with the restaurant.
Nobu is a Japanese dining option at Crown Metropol. It also specifies parent or legal-guardian accompaniment for guests under 18. Nobu notes that it cannot guarantee completely allergen-free meals; discuss dietary requirements with the restaurant before booking.
For any venue, check the current menu and booking terms rather than assuming a buffet price or restaurant policy applies across the precinct. Groups should also ask about seating, deposits and payment arrangements. Atrium says it does not split bills.
See a show or find live entertainment
Crown Theatre hosts live productions, while Crown’s What’s On listings cover performances and other events across the precinct. Check what is scheduled for your date, along with ticket availability, prices, age guidance and any event-specific conditions. Live music may be listed at individual venues, but check whether entry or purchase conditions apply.
For a meal and show, select the performance before booking dinner. Work backwards from the start time and allow enough time to finish your meal, pay, walk to the theatre and enter. The time needed will depend on your restaurant, party and performance; there is no universal interval to rely on.
Families should check theatre rules carefully. Crown’s theatre FAQ says under-16s must be accompanied and seated beside their adult, while its separate conditions say under-18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Follow the stricter published condition and confirm the requirements, including infant policies, for your particular show.
Crown Perth entertainment changes throughout the year, so check the official event listing rather than assuming a production or live-music session will still be running when you visit.
Stay overnight or book a spa treatment
Crown Perth accommodation includes Crown Towers, Crown Metropol and Crown Promenade. Compare the rate for your actual dates and party size, then look at what the room includes, cancellation conditions and any parking or dining costs. Prices can vary, so it is worth checking each hotel rather than assuming a fixed price ranking.
Pool access needs a separate check. Crown’s general Metropol and Promenade pool information says access is for hotel lodgers unless Crown permits entry. Limited non-guest offers may be available from time to time, but they are exceptions with their own booking, eligibility and expiry conditions. Don’t assume an offer is available for your date.
Crown Spa at Crown Towers accepts external guests as well as hotel guests. Crown says qualifying treatments of an hour or longer include access to the Aqua Retreat and indoor pool; salon services do not include Aqua Retreat access. Check the treatment description and current terms before booking.
The spa does not admit children under 16. Guests aged 16 or 17 should ask about any consent or supervision requirements. Crown recommends booking ahead, and spa surcharges may apply.
- Compare the full room rate, inclusions and cancellation terms for your dates.
- Confirm the pool policy for the hotel or any specific non-guest offer.
- Check treatment duration and which spa facilities are included.
- Ask about age requirements and surcharges before making a spa booking.
Decide whether to visit Crown Perth Casino
Casino play is optional. Crown Perth Casino is the physical gaming area within the wider precinct and is subject to Western Australian oversight. Guests must be 18 or over to enter the casino and its adjoining bars and restaurants. You may be asked for accepted identification and refused entry if you cannot provide it.
The minimum casino dress standard is neat casual, with footwear. Crown lists rubber thongs, Crocs, Ugg boots, sleepwear and swimwear among its exclusions. Restaurants, bars and other venues may have different requirements, so check their individual rules.
Crown’s requirements also differ by game type. For an electronic gaming machine, it specifies an individual updated Crown Rewards card, physical identification verification, a card photo, time and loss limits and a self-declaration. Crown says a valid membership card is not currently required for table games or electronic table games. Check current conditions and casino hours before visiting, including holiday closures.
Gambling can cause harm, and setting limits does not eliminate that risk. For free, confidential support at any time, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or contact Gambling Help Online.
Put together an outing
Dinner and a show: Find a Crown Theatre performance that suits your group, check its start time and ticket conditions, then book a restaurant sitting. Atrium could work if its available sitting leaves enough time before the show. Allow for the walk and theatre entry rather than planning to finish dinner at curtain time.
A visit without gambling: An external guest could book a qualifying Crown Spa treatment and follow it with a restaurant meal. Shopping or a theatre performance are other options. Before committing, check the location and entrance of each venue so your preferred route does not take you through the restricted casino area.
A family or group visit: Consider an accompanied meal at Atrium followed by an age-appropriate show. Confirm the theatre’s accompaniment conditions and a suitable route with Crown. If arriving by car, note that the Level 2 entrance from the P2 multi-level car park is restricted to adults.
For a larger party, ask the restaurant about accessible seating, dietary needs, deposits, cancellation deadlines and whether it can accommodate your preferred payment arrangements. Check these details before collecting money or confirming the plan with the group.
Getting to Crown Perth
Crown Perth’s address is Great Eastern Highway, Burswood WA 6100. Burswood Station is on Transperth’s Armadale Line. Use the Transperth journey planner to check services for your travel date, particularly if you are returning after an evening event.
Crown lists a complimentary shuttle between the precinct and Burswood Station. Check its current operating hours, pickup information and holiday exceptions before relying on it. Once you know where you are arriving, confirm the best entrance for your restaurant, hotel or event, especially if someone in your group cannot enter an adults-only area.
- Check train services and any planned disruptions for both legs of your trip.
- Check Crown’s shuttle times and holiday conditions.
- Confirm an appropriate entrance and route for your destination.
Crown Perth parking and event-day costs
Crown lists P3, P6 and P8 as free public car parks, subject to availability. P8 is unavailable on Optus Stadium event days, and major events can also bring parking or road restrictions. Check Crown’s current parking page before travelling.
P1, P2 and P4 are paid parking options. Their charges can change and depend on the arrival period, so check the current rates for your visit rather than treating them as hourly prices. Crown says paid parking is for a single entry and exit; also check card surcharges and lost-ticket fees.
A theatre ticket alone does not provide free P2 or P4 parking. If you are seeing a show, budget for a paid car park or check whether a free space is available. A free car park does not make the theatre ticket or meal free.
Crown also lists a dine-and-park concession for spending $50 or more at participating restaurants. Not every meal qualifies: check the current participating venues and redemption conditions before assuming a discount will apply.
Accessibility and assistance
Crown reports lift or ramp access, accessible toilets and accessible rooms at all three hotels. It also lists accessible parking in specified car parks and a water wheelchair at the Metropol pool.
Accessible parking is subject to availability and a valid permit, and a charge may still apply in a paid car park. Review Crown’s accessibility information and map, then contact the venue about the entrance, route, seating or assistance your party needs. For a show or hotel stay, raise those requirements when booking rather than waiting until arrival.
FAQ
What can you do at Crown Perth besides gambling?
You can choose from dining, theatre and other listed entertainment, shopping, spa treatments and hotel stays. A meal followed by a show is one option. Check the entrance and route for your chosen venues, as some bars and restaurants are inside or adjoining the adults-only casino area.
Are there free things to do at Crown Perth?
Crown lists free public parking in selected car parks, subject to availability and restrictions, but parking is not an activity or a free event ticket. Nearby Burswood Park, which is outside Crown, has free picnic areas, barbecues, a fenced playground and walking trails. Check park parking separately.
Can children visit Crown Perth?
Children can visit some non-casino venues with the required adult. Atrium and Nobu specify parent or legal-guardian accompaniment for under-18s. Children cannot enter the casino, and the P2 Level 2 entrance is adults-only. Theatre documents differ on accompaniment, so follow the stricter published condition and confirm the show and route with Crown.
Can non-guests use a Crown Perth pool or spa?
Metropol and Promenade pools are generally for hotel lodgers unless Crown permits entry; limited offers may provide an exception. Non-guests can book Crown Spa. Access to its Aqua Retreat and indoor pool depends on the treatment: Crown includes them with qualifying treatments of an hour or longer, while salon services do not include Aqua Retreat access.
Do you need to book restaurants or entertainment in advance?
It depends on the venue. Atrium says bookings are essential, while theatre tickets and spa appointments depend on availability. For a combined outing, choose the performance first, then book a compatible restaurant sitting. Review each booking’s cancellation terms as well as its price.
Is there a dress code at Crown Perth?
The casino requires neat casual clothing and footwear and lists exclusions including rubber thongs, Crocs, Ugg boots, sleepwear and swimwear. That is not necessarily the rule for every part of the precinct. Check individual restaurant, bar, spa and event requirements before visiting.
Does a Crown Theatre ticket include parking?
Crown says a theatre ticket alone does not provide free parking in P2 or P4. You can check current paid rates or look for a space in P3, P6 or P8, subject to availability. P8 is unavailable on Optus Stadium event days, and other event restrictions may apply.
Build your visit around the activity that matters most, whether that is a meal, performance, treatment or hotel stay. Then check the current price, booking terms, access requirements and transport for that date. Gambling is optional, and a little advance planning can help you choose an outing that fits your group and budget.
