World-class play-based learning excursions, now taking bookings!

MoPA is filled to the brim with sensory, immersive, play-based learning experiences. The Museums, and all the activities your children will encounter during their visit, have been carefully curated to support both Early Learning Outcomes and the Victorian Curriculum associated with foundation and Year-1 year levels.

Already, thousands of Kindergarten, Foundation and Year-1 students have enjoyed play-based learning excursions at MoPA, and we are so excited to offer this same rich experience to your pupils.

To all our dear makers - are you ready to potter, play, and create?

Now Showing: Playful Pots
Tues 7 April - Monday 1 June

Introducing Playful Pots - a joyful, hands-on activation where little makers can turn simple materials into something blooming beautiful. Children are invited to colour, decorate, and bring to life their very own paper pot, before it’s carefully shaped and secured into a sweet wrap-around pot for a cup or container.

Will it be covered in rainbows? Polka dots? A garden of wild, wiggly flowers? However they imagine it, every creation is uniquely theirs.

With plenty of room for creativity, experimentation, and a touch of crafty magic, Playful Pots is all about celebrating self-expression and the simple joy of making.

Running from Tuesday 7 April through to Monday 1 June, plenty of time to pop in, play, and make something special to take home.
