MoPA Gift Cards can be used to purchase anything at MoPA, including tickets, memberships, parties, coffees, food and more. To ensure your recipient enjoys the maximum value possible, MoPA Gift Cards last for 3-years and can be used across any number of separate purchases!
Option 1: Digital Gift Card
Purchase a digital gift card right now, online! Add a personalised message and email the details directly to yourself (to print out, or forward to your recipient), or use our system to schedule an email that will deliver the gift card directly to your recipient!
Digital gift card purchasers can collect collect their FREE XMAS CRAFT (RRP $8) from their local museum right up until December 25th. While stocks last.
NOTE: If you change your mind, and decide that you would prefer a physical gift card, you are VERY welcome to swing past the Museum to pick one up later. There is no cost, and all the numbers & receipts will still match!
Please rest assured that gift cards purchased for MoPA Thomastown can ALSO be used at other MoPA locations! The only difference between purchasing your gift card from one location versus another is that your gift-card will work through the online checkout for the location it’s purchased from, but manually (via a quick phone call or email) from any alternative MoPA location.
gifting a membership?
MoPA Memberships make fantastic gifts, and members enjoy UNLIMITED free play sessions (yes, unlimited!) + 10% off at the Gift Shop for 12 months.
As we head into the holiday period, we thought it would be helpful to remind our gorgeous guests that you must book your tickets to MoPA online, prior to arrival.
We receive amazing feedback about limiting entry numbers in order to maintain a comfortable and safe environment.
Many of the team at MoPA are parents too, and so you can be sure that we all fully appreciate how difficult it can be to be super organised with your lil’uns 24-48 hours ahead of time. Booking your tickets online, however, does mean that you will never ever find MoPA to be overcrowded - even if it’s a rainy day in the middle of the school holidays ☔️🚗🎨🌈
The first week of school holidays are already 85-90% sold out, but there are LOTS of tickets available after Xmas and into January ♥️
From today right up until Christmas eve, ALL children visiting MoPA can work with our educators to create and take home their very own PERSONALISE-ABLE SNOW DOME!!
Yep. That’s right. Snow. In a dome. AND a drawing. Also in the dome. Cutest. Gift. Ever.
A tribute to Nonny? A nod to Uncle Lach? A gift for Auntie Paula? Or perhaps simply “The place where Iggy came from” (thanks Lily, Mum did clarify that Iggy is your lil’ plush penguin).
YOUR child’s snow dome can be whatever their imagination desires; and EVERY child that visits MoPA will receive one to make and take - from now and Christmas eve. Epic.
🥳 MoPA Thomastown will open on Wednesday 4th December, and tickets are available as of… RIGHT… NOW!
Please note that pre-booked tickets to visit all of our Museums are essential, and walk-ins are not available. Rest assured that this policy guarantees that we are NEVER overcrowded, and you will ALWAYS have ample space to enjoy the Museum.
We do expect the first few weeks will sell out quite quickly, so please be sure to jump onto our website soon - to secure the time slot that suits you and your friends best.
1. Memberships: Our best seller 2. Gift Cards: A close second 3. Gift Shop Goodies: VERY popular
THIS year we ALSO have something extra special planned for those choosing to gift from MoPA 🫶🏼 — Every Membership gifted will receive a FREE $38 Gift Pack, and every Gift Card Gifted will receive a FREE $8 Craft Gifting Ornament!!
Oh… And please do give our lil’ elves a buzz if you need help choosing 1800 00 66 82!! x
FINALLY - The big (well, GIANT) reveal is less than 3 weeks away!
And after almost a full year in design and construction, we just can’t WAIT to show you all of what’s on offer at Melbourne’s new Children’s Museum.
Whilst we haven’t put tickets on sale yet, we HAVE opened bookings for Birthday Parties 🥳 Note: If you ARE keen to book a party, we recommend that you book at least 8-12 weeks in advance, because all our party availability does sell out.
What does red sound like? Yellow smell like? Pink feel like? MoPA’s all-senses colour wheel is a beautiful introduction to abstract thinking for lil’ cuties. It’s a wondrous experience to share with your children (you can almost SEE their brains ticking away) and that’s why it’s 100% our fav… ONE of… our favourite exhibits. 😜🎨♥️
