WORST kept secret of 2025? 🤔 MoPA is coming to Nunawading!!!

No one imagined we’d find the perfect location for a Children’s Museum in Melbourne’s East so early in 2025. But it happened. It’s a thing. Work has already begun on a HUGE new Children’s Museum - right here in the heart of Melbourne’s EAST... On Whitehorse Road, Nunawading! 

The Museum is set to open mid-2025. To learn more, watch the progress unfold, and get early access, be sure to join the mailing list. Head to the Nunawading page on our website for all the juicy deets.

LOVE YOU NUNAZ. SEE YOU SOON!

Just some of our FAVE dress-up craft creations so far. Seeing what children do with such an open brief is truly magical. Love love love these works of art. 

For the remainder of the school hol’s we’re exploring THE ART OF DRESSING UP at MoPA. This activity and many more activations are all included in each session. See post and website for deets. xx
THE ART OF DRESS UPS! 
Showing From Jan 2nd til’ Feb 3rd

While activities like dress-ups may seem like harmless fun, these joyful shenanigans can actually be VERY. Serious. Business...

Children (and sometimes adults!) dress up because it’s just fun, of course. But children also use these make-believe opportunities to experiment with personas and scenarios that reach far beyond regular everyday life. The dress-up games they play enhance their creative skills, and it’s also now proven that children build fundamental social skills through play; and these skills pay dividends well into adult life.

All of MoPA’s new dress-up activities, and the materials required to participate in them, are all included with all regular tickets.

Why is it so important book ahead?

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 ♥️

WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU!! x
And the MOST popular Xmas Gift @ MoPA this year is? Our limited edition Xmas Membership Pack!!

$98 for UNLIMITED MoPA visits in 2025 + free tee + free paintbrush pen + free sticker pack!! WHOA!!!

🎨🎄Mo Mo Mo, Merry Christmas🎄💝
