Top 5 Winter Activities in Mandurah for Families

When the weather cools down, Mandurah winter is the perfect setting for a snug family holiday by the water. Crisp mornings, ocean views and plenty of family‑friendly things to do in Mandurah with kids mean you can still make the most of your break, without needing a heatwave. And with the space and comfort of a self-contained Seashells Mandurah apartment, you can warm up, spread out and settle in between adventures.

Here are five cosy winter activities in Mandurah for families that kids, and parents, will genuinely love.

1. Skating in Mandurah, under the winter lights

If you’re here in July for the Mandurah school holidays, start your winter family break on the Eastern Foreshore. Skating in Mandurah brings a pop‑up ice rink to the water’s edge, with all‑ages sessions, kanga skate aids for little ones, sensory‑friendly times and evening skates under the lights.

On select Friday nights, the Winter in Mandurah Markets pop up alongside the rink, with food trucks, handmade stalls and live entertainment. It’s an easy way to turn one outing into a full winter’s night out and is one of the most popular family activities in Mandurah in winter.

2. Amaze Miniature Park, where little worlds come alive

A short drive from the foreshore, Amaze Miniature Park is one of Mandurah’s best family attractions and feels like a whole day’s adventure in one stop. Acres of leafy gardens are sprinkled with intricate miniature buildings and interactive model trains, while a towering hedge maze, mini golf, playground and lawn games keep kids happily busy for hours.

Cooler days are ideal – you can wander at your own pace, linger over the tiny details and enjoy the park without the blaze of summer heat.

3. Train and Pirate Ship, family adventures on land and sea

For that classic seaside‑holiday feeling, trade the car for Mandurah’s much‑loved foreshore trains. You can hop aboard the larger Big Toot, which loops around key spots in town, or climb onto the Mini Toot, a child‑sized fun train that putters along the Eastern Foreshore and is always a hit with little travellers.

Down on the water, the Pirate Ship Mandurah offers fun canal cruises where kids can dress up, steer the ship, ring the bell and fire the water cannons while you keep an eye out for dolphins.

4. Giants of Mandurah, a magical trail to explore

To round out your stay, head out on a Giants of Mandurah adventure. Scattered through Mandurah’s wetlands, bushland and coastline, these towering wooden sculptures turn an ordinary walk into a free art trail and treasure hunt and are one of the most unique things to do in Mandurah with kids. Pick up a map from the visitor centre or download one before you go, then take your time uncovering a Giant or two over a lazy morning or afternoon.

5. Seashells Mandurah, your spacious winter stay

The best part of a winter escape in Mandurah is having somewhere warm, spacious and relaxing to come home to. At Seashells Mandurah, your self-contained apartment becomes the heart of the holiday, with slow breakfasts in your own kitchen, kids padding around in pyjamas and no rush to be anywhere.

As the day cools, you can retreat to the heated pool, put on a movie and spread out across separate bedrooms and living areas while everyone unwinds in their own way. That blend of generous space, privacy and absolute beachfront location makes Seashells feel like a true scenic home away from home in winter.
