Geelong Membership

Amazing ValUE

Over 5,000 Visitors have now joined the MoPA Community as Members. Why? Because Members enjoy UNLIMITED free play sessions (yes, unlimited!) + 10% off at the Gift Shop

A MoPA Membership is designed to make it more viable for you to visit more often. With Memberships priced at less than 5 casual visits, you can be sure that even if you’re only able to visit a handful of times you’ll still find great value.

MEMBERSHIP FAQS

CAN I “GIFT” A MEMBERSHIP?

Yes. In fact many of our Memberships are gifted to lucky recipients! Our website will trigger a ‘welcome email’ when you purchase the membership that you plan to gift, so please remember that if you’d like the gift to be a big surprise you should use your own email address when you buy the membership for someone else, and then we can change it (the email address) over to your recipients email later – It’s really a very easy process managed by our Guest Services Team who are available 7-days a week on 1800 00 66 72.

HOW MANY TIMES CAN A MEMBER VISIT?

There is no limit to how many times a Member can visit the Museum, we only ask that members attend just once per day – in fairness to other guests that may wish to attend on the same day as you! Some members attend weekly, others every other month. Whether you attend 50+ or just 5 times in the year, a Membership represents exceptional value.

HOW IS A MEMBERSHIP PRICED?

To ensure that about anyone can get great value from their Membership, the packages are priced at less than 5 casual visits in a peak period. Most Members visit 10-12 times per year, but you needn’t visit more than a handful of times to unlock the economic benefits of being a Member.

CAN I SHARE A MEMBERSHIP?

No. It is not viable for MoPA to offer any kind of shared Memberships. Instead, the packages are priced very competitively, so that anyone with a membership only needs to visit a handful of times to get great value. Some members find that if a child is attending MoPA often, but their carer may be different on different days, it works better for the child to have a Membership but for the adults to purchase casual tickets each time. When the booking system identifies any sharing of membership details it will apply a non-refundable cancellation to that membership

IS THERE A FAMILY MEMBERSHIP?

No there isn’t. Families come in all shapes and sizes and so individual Membership packages are offered that allow you to purchase Memberships for only those in your family that will find the value; be that a child, a single parent, a grandparent, a regular carer, and so on.

HOW DO I BOOK USING MY MEMBERSHIP?

As we have ‘comfy capacity’ limits set in place for all our sessions, we request that all our Members book their visit online before arrival. This ensures you have a spot saved when you arrive at the door and don’t miss out due to private functions, excursions or sold-out sessions! When you book, simply pop your Membership number/s in at the payment screen and the Free Play ticket price for Members will be reduced to $0.

ARVO ART CLASSES ARE BACK!! Term 4 is off to a ROARING start! Such amazing creations. And such happy lil’ artists. 

We have spots left in Monday and Tuesday afternoon classes (4 til 5pm). Enrol NOW ❤️ And please shout out with any questions!!
Introducing “Patchwork Portraits” NOW SHOWING at MoPA - from OCT 6 right up until NOV 30.

“Emotions and Well-being” is a hugely important component of the Early Years Learning Framework (“EYLF”); and it’s what MoPA’s brand new activities are all about. Every child that visits MoPA this month will be invited to use our craft templates and materials to develop their very own conceptual characters - and then to bring their creations to life using a range of powerfully emotive features. 

Happy apples? 
Grumpy brushes too? 
Surprised Pops? 
Maybe... Maybe not.
It’s entirely up to you :)

Our past character-building workshops have been HUGE - and we’re positive that “Patchwork Portraits” will be no exception. We can’t wait to see you all at your local MoPA this October!

Don’t miss out — Book in NOW for Play, Parties, Excursions, Takeovers and more — dates are available to book from Monday, October 6, 2025. 

Those who know MoPA well also know that we cap attendance numbers to all sessions, to keep the numbers at all our Museum’s at a super comfortable level — this ensures every visit is safe and comfy, but it also enables us to provide the richest possible learning experience… It ALSO means that most days sell out. At Nunawading, already, all October Birthday Parties are almost sold out, Term 4 Excursions are 75% sold out, and Play Sessions for the first few weeks are [as of today] going to go book up really quickly, too!! 

Almost an entire year in the making = MoPA Nunawading is suuuuch a beautiful Children’s Museum. We just can’t WAIT to show you all around!! 🎉🎨🚗🥳❤️
That’s right! Monster Madness is BACK and it’s showing from Monday Sep 8 until Sunday Oct 5. 

This SuPeR sCaRy (not!) puppet making activity has been a huge hit with our little learners; probably because it encourages children to streeeeetch their already incredible imaginations. It also happens to be a brilliant opportunity to work on those all-important problem solving and fine-motor skills - with lots of colouring, testing, changing, cutting and pasting. 

All guests to all our Museums are invited to use the materials and media provided to dream up a unique monster-osity. And as always, all our activities are included in the ticket price. We can’t wait to see all your gorgeous creations!!
Make something super special for Dad (and all the important people in your life!) at MoPA this week. This gorgeous activation is available at all our Museum’s and runs right up until Fathers Day!! x
