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🎄💝
ATTN: IT’S FREE CRAFT SNOW DOME O’CLOCK.
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.

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. 😜🎨♥️
Massive progress on the new Museum build this week. Just 4 weeks to go northsiders!! CAN’T WAIT!!
