Love locks and bell chimes in Perth.

This Romance Package pairs two tickets for the Bell Tower Experience with a personalised engraved love lock, set right on the Swan River at Barrack Square. I love that this is hands-on, letting you try ringing the bell chimes with an experienced guide, not just watch from the side.

I also love the symbolism here: you choose the engraving when you arrive, and your love lock becomes either a vow you place at the tower or a keepsake you take home. One thing to consider is the visit is relatively short (about 45 minutes to an hour), so it’s best if you want a focused, feel-good experience rather than a long day.

Key things to know before you go

• Hands-on bell ringing during the interactive Bell Chiming Experience with a guide
• Pick your engraving on-site and get the lock in a presentation folder
• Swan River observation views from the tower area
• A personalised souvenir path: lock it there or take it home
• Small group feel with a maximum of 14 people

Barrack Square romance: where the Bell Tower fits your Perth day

Perth has a lot of great scenery, but this one has a built-in mood. The Bell Tower sits on the Swan River in Barrack Square, which means you get romance without needing a complicated plan or a far-off drive. Even if you only have a slice of time, the setting does a lot of the work.

This package is also simple in the best way. It’s designed for two people, and you’re there for one main goal: bell chiming plus a love lock. You’re not doing a checklist of stops; you’re spending your time where the story happens.

Ticket coverage and what happens when you arrive

Your Romance Package is for up to 2 people, and it includes two admission tickets plus the personalised love lock. You’ll have a mobile ticket, which keeps things easy on a busy Perth day. Service animals are allowed, and the site is near public transportation, which matters if you’re keeping your plans flexible.

When you arrive, you’ll choose your lock engraving. The wording choice is part of the charm because it turns the lock into something personal, not something you grabbed at the last minute. You don’t need to have your souvenir finalized before you step in.

At the end of your visit, your lock is ready to collect from reception. So you’re not juggling the lock while you’re walking around the tower area and listening for the chimes.

The Bell Chiming Experience: trying the bells for real

This is the heart of the package. You’ll be guided through the interactive Bell Chiming Experience, where you learn about the history of the Bell Tower and the historic bells it’s built to house. The tower is tied to Saint Martin in the Fields church in Trafalgar Square, London, and it was built to house those bells.

Then you get to do the fun part: you try ringing the bells yourself. That matters because the experience becomes a memory you made, not just a photo you took. If you’re planning something romantic, this “I did it” element gives you a natural moment to share and laugh together when it sounds right.

You’ll also receive a chiming certificate. It’s a small piece of paper, but it turns a short tour into a keepsake you can tuck away. It’s also the kind of souvenir you’ll actually want later because it proves you took part.

The observation deck views over the Swan River

After the hands-on chiming, you get time to take in the Swan River view from the tower area. The experience is timed like a mini scenic break—enough time to enjoy the water and the city backdrop without dragging on.

This is one of those Perth moments where the scenery makes sense instantly. You’re not squinting for a postcard angle; the tower location puts you where you can look out and feel the river breeze. For couples, it works especially well because you can talk in a calmer setting after the energetic bell moment.

If you’re the type who enjoys a good viewpoint but hates spending hours searching for one, this is a practical win.

Your personalised love lock: engraving choices and souvenir options

The love lock is the “romance package” part that makes this different from a standard tower visit. You’ll get the lock in a presentation folder, and you’ll choose the engraving when you arrive. That on-site choice is important because it gives you time to decide what you want it to say based on how the day is going.

After your visit, you can do either of two things:

• Lock it next to others on the chain at the Bell Tower
• Take it home as a souvenir

That flexibility is a big value-add. Some couples love the public symbolism; others prefer a private keepsake. You don’t have to make that decision in advance, and you can match it to your comfort level in the moment.

Also, because your lock is prepared for collection at reception, you’re not left scrambling. You’re free to focus on the tour itself while the lock becomes your end-of-experience keepsake.

Price and value for two people

The package costs $50.21 per group for up to 2 people, and the duration runs about 45 minutes to an hour. On the surface, it’s easy to compare it to other Perth attractions.

But the value here is what you’re getting bundled together: two tickets plus a personalised engraved lock plus guided bell chiming plus a chiming certificate. You’re paying for an experience that includes both participation and a romance souvenir, not just entry into a building.

If you’re visiting anyway and you were already thinking about a couple of activities plus a small meaningful souvenir, this package reduces the mental work. It’s one purchase that covers the emotional core of the outing.

Group size and what that means for your mood

The tour maximum is 14 travelers. Smaller groups generally mean more attention from the guide and less time waiting around in the middle of a crowd. For a romantic experience, that’s a real quality-of-life detail.

It also means the tour has a more human feel. You’re more likely to feel like the guide is working with your group, not rushing through strangers. That makes it easier to ask questions and settle in.

Who this experience suits best (and who should skip it)

This works best for couples who want something romantic that isn’t generic. If you like the idea of a symbolic souvenir with an on-site moment, the love lock is made for you.

It’s also great for people who enjoy hands-on activities. The bell ringing is the difference between passively touring and actually participating.

You might want to look elsewhere if you want a longer, museum-style deep dive. The visit is short by design, so it’s more of an event than a full-day attraction.

It also fits well for tourists and locals. The history angle gives curious visitors something to learn, while the viewing and chiming give everyone something to feel.

Practical tips so your Bell Tower visit goes smoothly

Here’s how to set yourself up for an easy, enjoyable hour.

• Build in a little time around check-in so you can focus on choosing your engraving without rushing.
• Wear shoes that work for standing and moving around the tower area.
• Bring a calm plan for afterward. Since the tour ends back at the meeting point, you can keep the rest of your day simple.

If you’re planning a proposal, the bell chime moment is a strong cue for timing. You’ll already be in the right emotional setting, and the experience is built around the chimes rather than treating them as an afterthought.

Should you book the Bell Tower Romance Package?

Yes—if you want a compact, romantic Perth experience with real participation. The combination of hands-on bell ringing, Swan River views, and a personalised love lock makes it more than a standard attraction. At around $50.21 for two, it’s also the kind of value purchase that feels thoughtful rather than transactional.

I’d skip it only if you’re looking for a long day of sightseeing or you prefer attractions where you can wander freely for hours. This is a guided, time-limited experience. If that matches your style, it’s a great fit for couples and proposal-planning days in Perth.
