About

200+ Historic Vehicles, Daniel Ricciardo's F1 Car & Hands-On Kids' Activities

Nestled in Whiteman Park (short drive northeast of Perth, enroute to Swan Valley), Motor Museum of Western Australia combines serious motoring history with genuinely engaging kids' activities—meaning parents appreciate seeing Daniel Ricciardo's 2014 Red Bull RB10 (Australia's only winning Formula 1 race car on permanent display) and 200+ historic vehicles spanning late 1800s to present, while kids race Scalextric slot cars, climb into a 1973 Leyland Marina play car, crank a cutaway T-Ford engine to see how mechanics work, and hunt Australian animals in the Gold Rush display.

Free activity booklets (eye-spy, museum quiz, spot-the-difference, colouring) keep little ones engaged as they explore, with completed quizzes earning lollipops for limited time. The interactive elements make this more than passive vehicle viewing: children see volunteers start 1929 Buick and 1971 Landcruiser engines, watch cutaway 1930 Essex chassis demonstrate how cars in motion work, swap miniature cars at the Car Library (inspired by free library movement), and genuinely engage with transport evolution rather than just walking past old cars. The 15,000+ scale model collection (largest on display in Southern Hemisphere) fascinates both kids and adults.

Beyond the museum, Whiteman Park offers picnic spots and walking trails, with Swan Valley wineries nearby making this ideal full-day destination combining motoring discovery with leisurely family exploration.

Perfect for families with car-loving kids who need interactive engagement beyond looking at vehicles, or parents wanting Perth activity that actually keeps children entertained while adults appreciate genuine motoring history. The Scalextric racing, play cars, and engine demonstrations mean kids actively participate rather than hearing "don't touch" constantly. Good for multi-generational visits—grandparents who remember these vehicles, parents appreciating F1 and classic cars, kids racing slot cars and climbing into play vehicles. The Whiteman Park location makes it easy full-day outing combining museum with park exploration and Swan Valley stops.
