The Courthouse Museum in Pingelly offers an insight into the lives of the early settlers and houses a collection of historic photographs and local relics.

Eight kilometres east of Pingelly at Moorumbine, St Patrick's Church of England is of historical interest. Built in 1871, the church is still in use today although the original shingle roof has been preserved beneath a protective layer of iron.

The natural attractions around Pingelly include the Boyagin Rock Nature Reserve 26 kilometres away. The peak of the rock is a favourite picnic area and is particularly scenic in spring. It is one of the last preserves of the wildlife and plants which once dominated the landscape.

Tutanning Nature Reserve, 21 kilometres east, is also a haven for the animal and plant life of the region. However, no recreational facilities are provided. Dryandra Reserve also preserves native flora and fauna, including the numbat, Western Australia's fauna emblem. Yealering Lake and Picnic Ground, 58 kilometres from Pingelly, is a popular spot for swimming, motor boating and yachting.

• Name origin: The Aboriginal name was 'Pingeculling' with later settlers calling the town 'Pingegully'. The present name was first used when the railway line went through in 1890. Meaning unknown.
