Wanneroo Botanic Gardens | Mini Golf and Glow Golf

Last updated February 2026

Tucked away in Perth's northern suburbs, the Wanneroo Botanic Gardens offers a uniquely picturesque mini golf experience. Families can choose between two distinct courses set within the lush, established gardens. The 36-hole outdoor course winds through beautiful foliage, rockeries, and gentle streams, making it one of Australia's largest and most scenic. For an entirely different challenge, the indoor Glow Golf course provides a fun, luminous adventure after dark. The combination of beautiful gardens and engaging play makes it a standout destination for a family outing. **What to Bring** Sunscreen and hats for the day course. Comfortable walking shoes. Insect repellent, particularly for evening games. Water bottles. **Best Age Range** Best for ages 5 and up. While younger children can participate, the 36-hole outdoor course requires a longer attention span. The Glow Golf course is especially popular with primary school-aged children and teens who enjoy the novelty of the glowing environment. **Good to Know** Bookings are essential, especially for weekends, evenings, and school holidays. Ample free parking is available on-site. The popular Leapfrogs café is located at the venue for meals, snacks, and coffee. The outdoor course paths can be uneven and include stairs, which may be challenging for prams. **Nearby** Combine your visit with a trip to Neil Hawkins Park on the shore of Lake Joondalup for a picnic and wildlife spotting. The Joondalup city centre, with its large shopping complex and other cafes, is less than a 10-minute drive away. **Tips From Other Parents** The full 36-hole outdoor course can take over two hours; consider playing just 18 holes with younger kids. If you plan to eat at the on-site café, book a table well in advance as it's very popular. Glow Golf is quite dark, which can be overwhelming for some toddlers.
