The Perth Mint

The Perth Mint was overall, quite an enjoyable experience. The tour provided a wealth of information about the history of gold in Western Australia, and I found it fascinating to learn about the significant role this region has played in the gold industry. One particularly intriguing highlight was discovering that The Perth Mint houses the largest piece of gold in the world.The tour also included a captivating segment where the guide demonstrated the process of melting and crafting gold, which added an entertaining element to the visit. It was truly impressive to witness the skills and dangers involved in working with this precious metal.However, I must mention that the tour fee for our group, consisting of three seniors, one adult, and one child, amounted to $94. While the experience was informative and engaging, the price may be a factor to consider, especially if you have other plans or attractions you wish to explore in Perth.Additionally, The Perth Mint features a jewellery shop where you can access without purchasing a ticket. However, as someone who isn't particularly fond of jewelry, I decided to skip this part of the visit. Nonetheless, for those interested in acquiring gold jewelry, this could be a noteworthy stop.All in all, The Perth Mint offers a short yet informative tour that sheds light on the history of gold and its significance in Western Australia. If you have an interest in gold or are looking for an educational experience, it's worth considering a visit. However, if you have budget constraints or aren't particularly drawn to the subject matter, you may want to explore other options in Perth.Take note that the tour timings are 9.30am, 10.30am, 11.30am, 12.30pm, 1.30pm, 2.30pm.

Visited the Mint on 8/04/23. Arrived at 12.15pm & was lucky enough to score the last three tickets for the 12.30pm tour. Our guide was very informative & Knowledgeable. The $1Million coin is awesome. The highlight of the tour is the gold gold bullion pour. A big thankyou to the mint for making the tour & access to the building wheelchair accessible as my Mother in Law was in a wheelchair & thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

Nice, easy and quick experience. We come mid time of the tour but pouring gold experience it's never disappointing. We got $2 Mint Your Own Medallion as memory, which is included with every paid admission.If you have been in any gold mining tour tour, this one is very similar. No need for us to go to any other from now on.

Such a great tour! Sarah was really knowledgeable and friendly and gave a great history of the place, then Oliver showed us how he pours a bar of gold. So entertaining, he deserves a bar of gold for his bonus! Highly recommended place to visit.

Excellent 45-min tour, hit way above expectations. See the world' largest gold coin, hear the stories of the world's largest nuggets, test your hand at holding a real gold bar, measure your worth of your body weight in gold, and watch an expert pour actual molten gold to make a gold bar. Fabulous, even the kids liked it.

Very cool! Best experience for us, staff was nice, the one that led us is really funny, lots of rare coins, medals, and you can even see how they make coins behind a window, lots of cool facts, good place for families during school holidays or tourist visiting. Sorry for blurry photos

Wonderful gatehouse entrance and main building.Great to walk around and see jewellery, gifts and of course gold bullion for sale!Highly recommend booking the tour for the Gold pour and seeing the 1000kg gold coin!Something most will only see once in a life time, so we'll worth it.Heaps if history to go along the tour.

Worth going to if you are in Perth. Seeing gold being poured and holding gold bullion was good also. Unfortunately had trouble hearing Clay" talking. The microphone/speaker set up is not very clear. Other that that it was enjoyable."
