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.

DESIGNED TO SUPPORT EARLY AND FOUNDATION LEARNING PRINCIPLES

Groceries, rent, fuel, bills, mortgages, interest rates… 

All household expenses are out. of. control. 

And as a result, the family outings that were once part of weekly routines are harder to fit into the budget than they ever been.

Regardless of how tough things get, we believe Australian families should NEVER have to sacrifice the amazing cultural experiences that enrich childhood. The zoo. The gallery. The Museum. Time with friends and family, out in our community, being creative, experiencing the world together.

While MoPA can’t control the cost of fuel, or interest rates, what we can do is innovate; create new ways to make our own cultural experiences as affordable as possible…
