FAQs
How much do the big block sets cost?
MoPA is now ranging block sets that are more affordable than all international alternatives; with sets varying in price from $6,000 to $22,000.
The main variables in cost are the set size (a small set contains 60 blocks, whereas a large set contains 120), the colours and shapes you wish to include (a range of standard shapes and colours is available, however we also produce set with custom colours and even shapes) and your location (the sets are shipped from capital cities, Australia-wide, and typically require 2 to 4 pallets).
Can I use big blocks outdoors?
Absolutely, yes. The raw materials used to create our block sets are carefully selected and tested to ensure that they are lightweight and safe, but also incredibly resistant to wear, weather and cleaning. Leaving the blocks exposed to weather and UV at all times will shorten their life-span, though some of our customers have been using our block sets outdoors for many years now!
Are big blocks safe for toddlers?
Yes. Adult supervision is always recommended, however the foam used to create our blocks is soft, lightweight, non-toxic, and sized to prevent choking hazards. Most of the blocks are sized at approximately 30cm x 30cm and weigh approximately 1-2kg each.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes, our blue block sets are shipped all over Australia. We offer free or flat-rate shipping depending on your location and order size.

Last week we promised BIG news...
THIS JUST IN: YOU CAN NOW OWN SHARES IN MoPA 🎉 🤯
FIRST STEP: Register your interest via the EOI link in our bio!
We’ve grown MoPA to 4 Museums and $30M cumulative revenue in 6 years, thanks to support from colleagues, family and friends, Australia Council for the Arts and YOU, our gorgeous guests. And so when considering how to best fund a new exhibit program, and the NATIONAL growth opportunity ahead for MoPA, it only felt right that the first people we would offer the opportunity to would be YOU: the hundreds and thousands of families who adore and regularly attend their local children’s museums (and those that desperately want a local children’s museum!).
An incredible location has now been secured for the next MoPA in Adelaide, where 3,000+ families have already registered for early-bird parties, excursions and play (before any marketing investment). We’ve even started planning yet another interstate museum!
Registering your interest to become a shareholder (via the EOI link) puts YOU first in line when our Offer opens, before it opens to the general public. There’s no commitment and nothing to pay to register your EOI. We’ve even set aside investor rewards and memberships, which we’ll share when the Offer opens.
But you must register via the EOI link to learn more. LINK IN BIO!

BIGGEST NEWS EVER!!
You’ve probably spotted MoPA’s founders, Billie and Tom, running around the museums. But next week you’ll see LOTS of them online too, sharing the biggest news in MoPA’s history.
Biggest news EVER? Yep.
Here’s a lil’ hint from Billie and Tom...
Inspired by all the incredible children’s museums overseas, we came home from a trip six years ago convinced that Australia deserved something just as special.
And, so, with more optimism than sense, we took the plunge: we designed and built our first museum. It’s been a roller coaster since then. In six years this uber talented team of now 120+ people has achieved some huge milestones:
🏛️ 4 (FOUR!) world-class Children’s Museums
🎟️ 1 million visits across the network so far!
🎉 200,000+ party guests at 6,000+ events
⭐ 3,000+ beautiful guest reviews
Building four museums has been exciting. But on top of that, we’ve ALSO built the systems required to support a national network of 20+ children’s museums.
Next week, we’ll invite you to be part of what comes next for MoPA. We can’t say too much more just yet. But keep your 👀 out for a very. big. announcement...
