Important Note: Only food from the Museum Cafe may be consumed on the premises, enabling us to manage allergen, food safety and insurance requirements. To ensure the Museum is never overcrowded all children and all adults must purchase tickets prior to arrival.
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.

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
