SNEAK PEEK
Spanning an impressive 2,500sqm, MoPA Sandringham houses a huge array of experiences and exhibits centred around an all-senses immersive colour wheel. You’ll find plentiful exhibit spaces, activations in every nook, craft rooms, an immersive cinema, the worlds largest soft play area, a six-meter high ‘miniature city’, and dance parties around the main stage.
More than 200 shared car parks are available on site. We do anticipate some busy days at MoPA Sandringham, and at these times you may find the carpark quite full. When this does occur, please rest assured that the streets nearby offer lots of unrestricted parking options.
Accessibility
The Sandringham Museum is a single-level building with accessible car parking less than ten meters from the entrance, ramped access throughout, generous accessible bathrooms and change rooms, plentiful seating, and additional portable ramps on site for the more ambitious explorers that may wish to hop up on stage for a dance.

And as a result, the family outings that were once part of weekly routines are harder to fit into the budget than they ever been.
Regardless of how tough things get, we believe Australian families should NEVER have to sacrifice the amazing cultural experiences that enrich childhood. The zoo. The gallery. The Museum. Time with friends and family, out in our community, being creative, experiencing the world together.
While MoPA can’t control the cost of fuel, or interest rates, what we can do is innovate; create new ways to make our own cultural experiences as affordable as possible…
