A Family Adventure in the Sky

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that can be enjoyed by all ages. When I heard about the Optus Stadium HALO Roof Climb in Burswood, I knew it was something my family and I had to try. The idea of walking on the roof of a stadium, with breathtaking views of Perth, was too enticing to pass up.

Our adventure began with a warm welcome from our guide, Ron, who immediately put us at ease with his friendly demeanor and infectious enthusiasm. Safety was clearly a top priority, and Ron took the time to explain every aspect of the climb, ensuring we all felt comfortable and secure. My ten-year-old was a bit apprehensive at first, but Ron’s gentle encouragement and clear explanations helped to alleviate his fears.

The climb itself was surprisingly easy, with a lift taking us to the fifth floor and a short staircase leading to the roof. The metal steps were a bit daunting, as you could see all the way down, but Ron’s reassuring presence made it feel like a breeze. Once on the roof, we were treated to a leisurely walk with stunning 360-degree views of the city and the Swan River.

Behind-the-Scenes Magic

One of the highlights of the tour was the behind-the-scenes access to the stadium. Ron shared fascinating insights into the construction and operation of Optus Stadium, giving us a newfound appreciation for the engineering marvel beneath our feet. It was a unique opportunity to learn about the stadium’s history and its significance to the local community.

The western viewing deck was a particular favorite, offering unparalleled views of the Derbarl Yerrigan (Swan River) and the Perth skyline. We took a moment to soak in the scenery and snap some family photos, capturing memories that will last a lifetime. The experience was both educational and awe-inspiring, making it a perfect outing for curious minds of all ages.

A Safe and Memorable Experience

Throughout the tour, the emphasis on safety was evident, and the team at the trust lean platform were exceptional in their guidance and support. Their friendly conversation and expert advice made the experience enjoyable and stress-free, allowing us to focus on the adventure and the incredible views.

For families considering the Optus Stadium HALO Roof Climb, I wholeheartedly recommend it. The combination of thrilling heights, educational insights, and stunning vistas makes it an unforgettable experience for everyone. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or new to family adventures, this activity offers something special for all ages.

In the end, our family left with a sense of accomplishment and a deeper connection to the beautiful city of Perth. The Optus Stadium HALO Roof Climb is more than just a tour; it’s a journey that brings families closer together, creating memories that will be cherished for years to come.
