Our Memberships Represent Amazing Value

A MoPA Membership is designed to make it more viable for you to visit the Museum more often. Most members visit their Museum very often, however with Memberships priced at the equivalent of just 5 casual visits, you can be sure that even if you're only be able to visit a handful of times you'll still find great value.

3,700 Visitors have now joined the MoPA Community as Members. WHY? Because Members enjoy UNLIMITED freeplay sessions + 10% off at the Gift Shop

Membership FAQs

Q: How many times can a Member visit?
A: As many as you like! There is no limit on how many times a Member can visit the Museum. Some members attend weekly, others every other month. Either way, a Membership will represent great value!

Q: How is a Membership priced?
A: To ensure that about anyone can get great value from their Membership, the packages are priced at the equivalent cost of just 5 casual visits in a peak period. Most Members visit 10-12 times per year, but you needn’t visit more than a handful of times to unlock the economic benefits of being a Member.

Q: Can I share a Membership?
A: No. It is not viable for MoPA to offer any kind of shared Memberships. Instead, the packages are priced very competitively, so that anyone with a membership only needs to visit a handful of times to get great value. Some members find that if a child is attending MoPA often, but their carer may be different on different days, it works better for the child to have a Membership but for the adults to purchase casual tickets each time. Note: The booking systems will automatically identify misuse of memberships and apply an automatic cancellation.

Q: Is there a Family Membership?
A: No there isn’t. Families come in all shapes and sizes and so individual Membership packages are offered that allow you to purchase Memberships for only those in your family that will find the value; be that a child, a single parent, a grandparent, a regular carer, and so on.

Q: Can I “gift” a Membership?
A: Yes. In fact many of our Memberships are gifted to lucky recipients! Our website will trigger a ‘welcome email’ when you purchase the membership that you plan to gift, so please remember that if you’d like the gift to be a big surprise you should use your own email address when you buy the membership for someone else, and then we can change it (the email address) over to your recipients email later - It’s really a very easy process managed by our Guest Services Team who are available 7-days a week on 1800 00 66 72.

Q: How do I book using my Membership?
A: As we have ‘comfy capacity’ limits set in place for all our sessions, we request that all our Members book their visit online before arrival. This ensures you have a spot saved when you arrive at the door and don’t miss out due to private functions, excursions or sold-out sessions! When you book, simply pop your Membership number/s in at the payment screen and the Free Play ticket price for Members will be reduced to $0.

A Letter of Gratitude

RE: Thank you

Dear Members of the MoPA Community,

In 2020, when our sons were 1 and 4 years old, we opened our first Children's Museum in Geelong. We dreamed of building a community of passionate parents who craved creative learning experiences for their children as much as we did for ours. 

Fast forward to today and we've watched hundreds of bubba's take their first steps in the Museums', we've built amazing friendships with thousands of regular visitors in both Geelong and Melbourne, and our dreams of building this community have grown even bigger!

With support from partners such as The Australian Arts Council and Faber-Castell we've been able to make big strides toward providing our creative learning experiences to thousands more families; with countless new exhibits and activities, a growing number of Museums, and this new Membership offering.

The Membership package is designed to make it more viable for you to visit the Museum more often. Most members visit a lot, however the Memberships are priced at the equivalent cost of just 4 casual visits, to ensure that even if you're only be able to visit a handful of times you'll still get great value.   

On behalf of the whole team here at MoPA we’d like to thank our guests for visiting the Museum, and we’d like to thank all our partners for helping to deliver more creative learning experiences, to more visitors, more often.

xo Billie & Tom, MoPA Founders
