SNEAK PEEK
Spanning an impressive 2,500sqm, MoPA Sandringham houses a huge array of experiences and exhibits centred around an all-senses immersive colour wheel. You’ll find plentiful exhibit spaces, activations in every nook, craft rooms, an immersive cinema, the worlds largest soft play area, a six-meter high miniature city, and dance parties around the main stage.
More than 200 shared car parks are available on site. We do anticipate some busy days at MoPA Sandringham, and at these times you may find the carpark quite full. When this does occur, please rest assured that the streets nearby offer lots of unrestricted parking options.
Accessibility
The Sandringham Museum is a single-level building with accessible car parking less than ten meters from the entrance, ramped access throughout, generous accessible bathrooms and change rooms, plentiful seating, and additional portable ramps on site for the more ambitious explorers that may wish to hop up on stage for a dance.

In February we are going to have some very special days at MoPA to celebrate Victoria’s enormous Chinese community.
Chinese Community Days: Mon 17th Feb in Sandringham Wed 19th Feb in Thomastown Fri 21st Feb in Geelong
We will dance at our dance party to Chinese childrens music, our books will be read in chinese languages, and even our signage will be translated. So if you’d like to get together with other families of the Chinese community, we’ll see you down here at MoPA! We expect these days to be very popular, but we do only have limited space available, so please be sure to jump online and book now to secure your spot. See you all then!
PS - Stay tuned for MORE cultural celebrations at MoPA. Comment below with your ideas and requests!!
“This week at MoPA’s AFTERNOON ART CLASSES we learned about Yayoi Kusama. We created spotty mushrooms, met our new teachers, made friends with our classmates, and earned some very special rewards!”
Term 1 runs for 8 weeks, and there is still 7 weeks left - so if you’d like to join the fun mid-term (and pay only for the remaining classes!!) enrolments are now open. Head to www.mopa.com.au or call us on 1800 00 66 72 to learn more!
Yep. That’s right. FREE. So what are we waiting for? Let’s get out there and cut some intergeneration shapes on the MoPA D-floor!!
To celebrate the beautiful role grandparents play in our lives and our families, we’ve decided to rename February to “Forever Young February” here at MoPA.
Now… The bouncers are under strict instruction to shuffle all grandparents to the front of the queue - and waive their ticket price... All. February. Long!
Note: We do still require that grandparents book online - but only to help us manage the comfy capacity limitations we maintain at MoPA (ticket prices at the checkout for grandparents are $0).
And so - Meemaw, Nene, Gigi, Glam, Pa, Zayde, Pop, Babu, Grandad, Gramps and Abuelo - we’ll see you ALL on the dance floor at MoPA this FEB, to show these young folk how that chicken dance SHOULD be done! 💃🕺🐔🎉
Term 1 Art Classes start in just 2 weeks (Feb 3rd)!! 🥳
Our Thomastown, Sandringham and Geelong Museum’s ALL still have a handful of spaces left for the Monday and Tuesday afternoon classes. Do NOT miss out - jump onto the website now to secure your enrolment in the 8 week Term 1 program!! 😘
