About this experience
The Perth Mint offers a unique combination of attractions which allow you to experience all the magic, allure and wonder of gold.

Bringing the story of Western Australian gold to life, the darkened halls of the Gold Exhibition offer multimedia presentations, interactive displays, historic images and aged artefacts, which all combine to form the backdrop to the array of dazzling pure gold exhibits.

Disappointing and underwhelming
Wanted to visit the Mint for many years. Unfortunately the visit was both underwhelming and disappointing. First impression was, nice historic building but it could do with a refresh, surely the Mint would have plenty of $$$ to keep the place looking "Minty". Upon entry there are several cramp adjoining rooms which were effectively jewellery stores offering products that, whilst beautifully crafted, were way beyond the means of the average visitor to buy. Why not sell this stuff elsewhere to free up space for something more interesting, like expanding the museum? Other rooms were set aside for people to buy gold etc. Again, this could also be done elsewhere. Another room offered items that were closer to the average persons budget (including the obligatory made "overseas" trinkets and other junk) but the range of items offered was truly very disappointing, I was hoping to buy some special gifts here for young relatives but didn't bother. To access the museum you have to pay up and do the tour. The tour is pretty lame and overpriced and was pitched at those aged under 12. The museum was semi-interesting but I believe the Mint could do a lot lot more to showcase their history. If space is a problem, shift the jewellery stores and other services off site and reorganise the place. On our travels around WA we saw much better museums, many were even free entry!

Cold coin was crazy - fab hour or so activity and a must do
A real gem of a tour. Unreal stories told and a really great hour or so to be had. Really incredible to see the gold and the history. We loved it.

Pert Mint gold tout
We visited the Perth Mint today. Nice to look around, but the behind the scenes tour is a must. It is an informative tour with plenty of exhibits and a live gold pour. Worth going to see.

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Perth Mint Gold Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does The Perth Mint Gold Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $16 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Perth Mint Gold Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perth is not rushed.
Is The Perth Mint Gold Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 652 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Perth Mint Gold Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Perth Mint Gold Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Perth Mint Gold Tour?
+
Around 228 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perth and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Perth Mint Gold Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Perth?
+
On Outty we rank every Perth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Optus Stadium Tour, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour, VIP Swan Valley Wine Tour - Premium Small Group Wine & Gourmet Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Perth?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Perth?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
