DNA tower is definitely worth the climb. Karens complaining about "lackluster" views clearly have zero appreciation for the Earth we live on. Views arent the most "instagram worthy", but still really nice to appreciate and especially being so close to a CBD!!

I often wonder whether the DNA Tower in Kings Park is as well known by locals, as it is by tourists??( I suspect not).The tower has been an icon in the centre of Kings Park for about 5 decades.One theory of its historical origin is that it was originally some sort of CSIRO/ Kings Park project, showing the physical manifestation of a DNA string moelcule, but cast as a walking Tower.If you believe the signage, however, it was simply based upon a stone staircase seen in a French Chateau. But if you look at pictorial descriptions of DNA molecules, the similarity is too close to be coincidental?Being over 20 m high,it is a nice vertical walk ( see the attached photos), raising a bit of a sweat for us less fit folk...But the view from the top is well worth the climb.Beautiful views are to be had across our fine city..You will be able to identify the various landmarks from a metallic map that is located on the top level.Theres also a beautiful walk along the lawn from The Kings Park Adventure Playground, leading to the DNA tower. You can then continue your walk towards the Pioneer womans memorial nearby.

Easy and carefree 1km broad walk from Zamia cafe to DNA tower in a sunny autumn Sunday afternoon. Leisure walk with no crowd which is nice. Lots of families and friends enjoying the sun on picnic rugs closer to the water and the playground. Interesting animal statues. Very well maintained grass.

Cool tower in the botanical gardens, has great views of the city from the top. Was too open for me to climb all the way but stunning none the less.

I remember watching a telemovie set in Perth and the DNA tower was shown. Even to this day I think this is a cool iconic location for Perth and still gives a decent view of the area.

This tower was built decades ago. Still a fun experience for all ages to safely go up a few flights of stairs. At the top you look out at the sweeping views into the distance and down a grassed avenue. It sways slightly at the top which adds to the fun.

Views from the top aren’t that great. You can’t see the city and the sun sets over not much. It’s ok but some careful tree Maintenace and it would be a lot better!

Absolutely nothing to do, but it is still a great place to visit, on top you have a compass pointing some spots around WA, great view of the park and the city, they have a parking lot in, and water fountain.

This place is always a good visit when in Kings Park.Read the plaque at the bottom of the stairs. Then walk to the top to soak up the views, it wont disappoint.Take lots of photos of the scenery not just selfies. People know you were there cos who took the photo. Dont spoil the scenic views on the photo with a buff head in the way πŸ˜‰.50m away is the Firefighters memorial. Visit there also.

The staircase in itself is pretty cool. But I suppose the surrounding trees were smaller when it was originally built, as there is not much a view left towards the city

Interesting tower in kings park shaped like DNA spiral that gives you an elevated view over and around the park. Not too difficult to traverse, certainly easier than Jacobs ladder to get up. Worth a visit if you are there.

Honestly, I think the tower is pretty ugly, but the view you get from the top, especially at sunset is perfect. Really a nice way to finish the day of exploring!

One of the most interesting sculpture in the Perth area. This is a must visit iconic location that has been around for years. The views are the top are pretty impressive, looking over kings park. Would recommend.

Everyone that says there are "good views" is lying. There are views, but they are not good, unless you like looking at the upper branches of trees. Theres no panoramic view, or clear line of sight to anything significant. Dont believe me? Then waste your own time and see for yourself.

Only suitable for those who are fit enough to climb stairs as the climb is quite exhausting. Still great view is waiting for you at the top!

Purposely came back to Kings Park just to come here. I thought it was quite fun to go up and down due to the intertwining stairs. There is a fairly nice view of the park at the top but the city view is partially blocked by the trees. There is also a plaque with a compass and locations. It isnt the biggest area at the top though so it could get easily crowded. I thought it was a worthwhile stop to climb and have a look. We did have to drive down from the main carpark area by the memorial to save some time, although it is easily walkable.
