To support Victorian ELCs and Schools, a limited number of free “Fundraiser Social” nights are now available to book on select evenings throughout the year.
These events have no upfront costs and provide a super fun MoPA-hosted social experience for your families.
Fundraiser Socials require minimal effort on your part but provide a nice boost to your fundraising efforts without interrupting any other planned activities. We also have EFTPOS facilities available if you’re planning a raffle or a silent auction!
SecurE your fundraiser date
Fundraiser Socials are currently booking out 6-4 months in advance. To secure your preferred date, call the MoPA Education Team on 1800 006 672 or email bookings@museumofplayandart.com.au

$100 off MoPA Parties! WOOHOO!! 🥳
MoPA turned 6 years old this week and we decided that instead of throwing a party for ourselves to celebrate, it feels muuuuch nicer to help YOU have a party at MoPA instead!
Here’s how it works:
❤️ You can book the party for any date this year, so long as the booking is placed this week ❤️ $100 discount will be applied at the checkout when you use the discount code LOVE2PARTY ❤️ If you need to move the party date 6-8 weeks prior to when it’s booked for, just give us a call - we’ll shuffle it around for you, no problems at all!
Yep. It’s official — STICKER SUNNIES is our most popular activation ever!! And the best bit? It runs for 5 five FIVE more weeks; right up until the end of FEB. AND YES Grandparents are free for this entire summer season too. So… Yeah… Just sayin’… You do NOT wanna miss this!! xx 😘
Why? Because we are celebrating these special humans and the priceless role they play in our children’s development. You ROCK Yaya, and Bubbe, Babushka, Nonnie, Nana, Gran, and おじい 5₺h, Mimi, Meemaw, Nene, Gigi, Glam, Pa, Zayde, Pop, Babu, 4743, and Grandad, Gramps, Abuel; we’ll see you all soon!! 🕺🥳😍
Every lil’ munchkin that visits MoPA this summer is invited to sticker-up and take-home their very own pair of personalised sunnies. One of our most popular ever activations - so so so so cute!! 😎❤️
Each year we celebrate our wisest, most patient, and most awesomely unconditionally loving family members of all - our dear grandparents!! And we call this special celebration FOREVER YOUNG. (And Yes, our own folks help us name the celebration 🤣)
To celebrate these special humans, we welcome them to the Museum any time and any day, for FREE. No special codes or passwords are required — you’ll see in the checkout that adding grandparents tickets to your booking shows a $0 price. Simple as that.
At this time of year in particular, during these extended holiday breaks and the grown ups ‘return to work’ period into February, we know how many grandparents are chipping in to help juggle family life; but one great example of the integral role our grandparents can play in the family unit. And we hope all our wisest family members take full advantage of this special time of year.
Ok. So this is happening. All grandparents tickets FREE - right NOW… And right up until February 27th. Yeehah!!
We are soOoOoO proud of our partnership with MacKillop Family Services (MFS). The beautiful families from the MFS Foster Care Community all enjoy free access to our Museum’s all year around and our team have formed some really special friendships with the children and carers that frequent our network of Museums. Some of the most precious memories our team have made in 2025 have been these special interactions.
This year, some our educators also volunteered their time to support the annual gift appeal, and throughout the uber busy school holiday period we have been collecting donations to help support the huge array of foster care services provided by the MFS community.
Meeting the families from this community and hearing their stories is one of the most humbling experiences you will ever have. Just so much ❤️ packed into one small organisation.
If you’re in a position to help, in any capacity, you won’t regret reaching out to learn more.
Dear @mackillopfamilyservices , from our team to yours, we wish you a safe and happy year ahead full of immeasurable impact on one part of our community here in Australia that needs it the most. You are truly incredible people, and an inspiration to us all.
