The iconic DNA Observation Tower has been refurbished and is now open to visitors once more.
Located on the Broadwalk Vista off Forrest Drive, this double helix staircase tower was built in 1966 by consulting engineers D&H Fraser and was originally inspired by the famous double spiral staircase in a chateau in Blois (France). The DNA Observation Tower offers visitors panoramic views across the park and Perth City east to the Darling Scarp and west to Rottnest.
The Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority arranged for this popular viewing spot to undergo a refurbishment with a pressure clean and new paintwork. Your patience and understanding has been appreciated during these refurbishment works. The facility and adjacent carpark have now been reopened to visitors.
