Finding the tower

The Bell Tower is in Barrack Square on Riverside Drive, where the city meets the Swan River, about 400 metres from Elizabeth Quay station.

• By train or bus: Elizabeth Quay station and busport are about 400 metres away, roughly a 10-minute walk, and the free Blue CAT bus runs to Barrack Square.
• By car: a few paid bays are on Riverside Drive and in Barrack Square; the nearest car parks include Concert Hall and Council House.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• An accessible toilet on Level 1 and two gender-neutral toilets on Level 3.
• A lift to every floor, and seats with backrests on some floors.
• A gift shop at the entrance on the ground floor.
• A coin-operated carillon on the Observation Deck: bring a gold coin.

Plan around the bell ringing on Thursdays and Sundays, and bring a gold coin for the carillon. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

The Bell Tower has a lift to every floor and flat, even floors, with ramped access from the drop-off bays and an accessible toilet on Level 1. Guide dogs are welcome and hearing protection is available; the roads around Barrack Square are cobbled in places.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask tower staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the tower thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Take care on the spiral staircase, keep to the public areas and follow staff guidance.
• Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

The bells are loud when they ring; hearing protection is available in sizes for all ages.

Make time for a pause

The city centre, a short walk up from Barrack Square, has cafés and restaurants for a meal before or after your visit.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Bring water with you, especially on warm days.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: go to the tower’s entrance in Barrack Square and show your ticket.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes for the stairs, a layer for the weather and a charged phone make the visit easier.
• Leave space to linger: time your visit for the ringers on Thursday (12:00–13:00) or Sunday (10:30–11:30), or for the ANZAC Bell at noon.
