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
Our Museums have been specifically designed to support early learning principles, which means the connections through to the Early Years Learning Framework (“EYLF”) are plentiful. The strongest connections specific to our excursion programmes are below, but the education team will happily build a focus to suit any context/focus

Yes it’s a cute tongue twister… But it’s also a new activity starting this weekend (and running ‘til Friday 21 August). We’ll be stuffing, sticking, colouring and creating a cast of wonderfully wacky puppet pals.
Colourful eyebrows? Fabulous hair? Four noses? We fully support your creative choice 😜
Please remember to book in, prior to visiting our Museums during the holidays. Most sessions fill up entirely, and the ‘comfy capacity’ limits MoPA is famous for are in place to help ensure you’re never disappointed with an overcrowded space!! xx
