Make a splash at Perth Leisure Pool

When it comes to keeping the whole family entertained, especially on a rainy day, Perth Leisure Pool is hard to beat. It’s been a go-to spot for locals and visitors for years — and for good reason. With flumes, rapids, a wave machine, and plenty of space for little ones to paddle, it’s more than just a swimming pool — it’s a full-on water adventure.
If you’re in Perth with kids and looking for a fun, active day out, this is the place to head.

Fun for all ages

Perth Leisure Pool is designed with families in mind. For younger children, there’s a shallow lagoon pool with gentle bubbles and mini slides — perfect for toddlers and those still getting confident in the water.
Older kids (and adults who fancy reliving their childhood) will love the two big flumes, the fast-flowing river rapids, and the wave pool, which kicks in every so often to liven things up. There’s also a dedicated training pool if anyone fancies a proper swim, and a health suite with sauna and steam room for the grown-ups who prefer relaxing to racing down slides.
It’s the kind of place where you can easily spend a couple of hours without anyone getting bored — and it’s ideal for burning off energy.

Parking and facilities

Perth Leisure Pool is located just outside the city centre, next to Dewars Centre and not far from the railway station. There’s a large car park on-site, and parking is reasonably priced.
Inside, there are family changing rooms, lockers (bring a £1 coin or token), and all the usual facilities you’d expect. There’s also a café where you can grab drinks, snacks, or a light lunch after your swim — ideal for refuelling before heading home or exploring more of Perth.

Opening times & costs

The pool is open daily, though times can vary slightly at weekends or during school holidays, so it’s worth checking the website before you go.

Prices (as of 2024) are:

Adults: around £7
Children (5-15): around £5
Under 5s: Free
Family ticket: available for better value

Sessions can get busy during weekends and holidays, but that just adds to the atmosphere — plus, there’s always plenty of lifeguards keeping things safe.

How long do you need?

Most families spend between 1.5 to 2 hours in the pool area. With the flumes, waves, and rapids, time tends to fly by. Add in a café stop afterwards, and it’s an easy half-day activity.
