SNEAK PEEK
Set inside one of Geelong’s most charming buildings (c1962) the Geelong Museum spans two levels, a generous rear garden, and a central fully-licensed cafe. Peninsula locals and the 25,000+ tourists that visit each year all agree; MoPA Geelong truly is one of the worlds most beautiful Children’s Museums.
Car parking is available on McKillop Street, at the Museum’s doorstep. Nearby streets also offer unrestricted parking on weekends and 2 to 4 hour parking from Monday to Friday.
Accessibility
MoPA Geelong enjoys good accessibly with ramped access from front to back, accessible bathrooms, accessible change rooms, and additional portable ramps on site. The beautiful old building does feature a mezzanine level, accessible via stairs only, though this area represents just 15% of the total experience. Generous seating is also provided throughout the Geelong Museum, both inside and out.

This week we celebrate all of this magic and more. Dress up, read with us, and MAKE YOUR VERY OWN BOOK!!! Yasssss!!!
