Trick or treat? Well... Every educator knows the best trick in their book is to wrap learning and development opportunities in PLAY.

That’s why we’re making HAUNTED HOUSES, reading a few spooky tales, and throwing thriller-esk dance parties every day at MoPA this week.

Storytelling, literacy, rhythm, and all manner of motor skills - all wrapped up in a handful of super-not-so-spooky FUN! x

Last week we promised BIG news...

THIS JUST IN: YOU CAN NOW OWN SHARES IN MoPA 🎉 🤯

FIRST STEP: Register your interest via the EOI link in our bio!

We’ve grown MoPA to 4 Museums and $30M cumulative revenue in 6 years, thanks to support from colleagues, family and friends, Australia Council for the Arts and YOU, our gorgeous guests. And so when considering how to best fund a new exhibit program, and the NATIONAL growth opportunity ahead for MoPA, it only felt right that the first people we would offer the opportunity to would be YOU: the hundreds and thousands of families who adore and regularly attend their local children’s museums (and those that desperately want a local children’s museum!).

An incredible location has now been secured for the next MoPA in Adelaide, where 3,000+ families have already registered for early-bird parties, excursions and play (before any marketing investment). We’ve even started planning yet another interstate museum!

Registering your interest to become a shareholder (via the EOI link) puts YOU first in line when our Offer opens, before it opens to the general public. There’s no commitment and nothing to pay to register your EOI. We’ve even set aside investor rewards and memberships, which we’ll share when the Offer opens.

But you must register via the EOI link to learn more. LINK IN BIO!

BIGGEST NEWS EVER!!

You’ve probably spotted MoPA’s founders, Billie and Tom, running around the museums. But next week you’ll see LOTS of them online too, sharing the biggest news in MoPA’s history.

Biggest news EVER? Yep.

Here’s a lil’ hint from Billie and Tom...

Inspired by all the incredible children’s museums overseas, we came home from a trip six years ago convinced that Australia deserved something just as special.

And, so, with more optimism than sense, we took the plunge: we designed and built our first museum. It’s been a roller coaster since then. In six years this uber talented team of now 120+ people has achieved some huge milestones:

🏛️ 4 (FOUR!) world-class Children’s Museums
🎟️ 1 million visits across the network so far!
🎉 200,000+ party guests at 6,000+ events
⭐ 3,000+ beautiful guest reviews

Building four museums has been exciting. But on top of that, we’ve ALSO built the systems required to support a national network of 20+ children’s museums.

Next week, we’ll invite you to be part of what comes next for MoPA. We can’t say too much more just yet. But keep your 👀 out for a very. big. announcement...

❤️ Billie & Tom

DYK: It’s Foster Carers Week this week!! This year we’re celebrating with the theme ‘Open Doors. Open Hearts. Open Opportunities’. This theme recognises foster carers who generously open their homes and hearts to help children and young people feel safe and connected, while creating opportunities for the future.

At MoPA we are so so so sooooo proud of our connection with @mackillopfamilyservices and other foster services such as @meli.community. Thank you, to each and every foster carer, for all that you do!

All foster kiddos and their families enjoy free access to MoPA: it’s the very LEAST we can do to support some of the children and families in our community who need it the most.
