25.01.2022 Hi everyone!! For those of you heading for MoPA from Melbourne, please be aware of the extra 20-30 mins that might be required to get through road works on the Freeway - just after the West Gate bridge. Drive safe!! There’s no rush at all we won’t let any of you miss out on any of the fun ok!! We promise!!! xx

25.01.2022 So many beautiful families to meet, so much creativity to be part of, so much art and dancing and singing and laughing to do... So little of school holidays left already xx

24.01.2022 BREAKING NEWS: Dan Andrews announced this morning that MoPA can re-open much sooner than expected!! Woohoo!!! We are now busy planning to re-open this week (exact day TBC) and we will make tickets available online in the coming hours. Stay tuned!! Woohoo!!!

23.01.2022 Words can’t even begin to express our gratitude... THANK YOU for making such an amazing effort yesterday - and THANK YOU for supporting MoPA. We had the best day ever - and we just can’t wait to host you all INSIDE the Museum again in a few weeks time. ... xxx The Team @ MoPA

20.01.2022 ... And he also wrote Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened. The irony is that in many instances where this quote is so true, reading/saying it brings a tear to the eye. xx MoPA

20.01.2022 The team at MoPA throw some pretty wild ideas around sometimes - but this one was right up there!! Watching the little faces of passers by today, though, it was immediately clear that this one was going to be worthwhile. If you’re driving through the city with the kids - be sure to swing past MoPA (51 McKillop St, Geelong) for a look at the cheeky skeletons scaling the Museum, looking for a way in (presumably, for a play!). We can’t WAIT to see all your smiling faces on Halloween. Some Boo-Boxes are still available if you haven’t booked one yet - check out our website for details!! x MoPA

16.01.2022 MoPA will FINALLY re-open tomorrow!! Tickets available on our website. . We’ve all cried a thousand tears, we’ve sworn, binged, lay awake late, thrown a few tantrums, then laughed and cried some more. But now... we can celebrate - and play again!! . Whilst much joy is returning to life here in Victoria, our hearts are very much with those that have been (and continue to be) deeply impacted by this horrible virus. ... . Love to you all. See you soon for a play!! x See more

15.01.2022 Sooooo so so nice to be back!! (Insert long sigh of relief). With the restrictions now lifted to 150 in our Museum, we’ve decided to stick to a self-imposed limit of just 100 people at a time. Forever. But this isn’t really new for MoPA. Did you know that we actually launched MoPA new in January with a limit of 100!!? Why? Because we wanted it to be the case that every single time that you book a play at MoPA, you can be SUPER confident it will NEVER be too busy to enjoy to the fullest. Thank you for your patience and support guys. Words can’t express how grateful we are for your support. See you for a play soon

14.01.2022 Congratulations on completing your Bach. Degree in Primary Education, Lucas!! You will make a enormous difference in the lives of so many children, and it’s been an honour to play a role in your professional development. If you have a heart the size of Lucas’, and you too love play-based learning (or if you can make a yummy latte!?), check out the jobs on offer at MoPA ahead of a busy summer at the Museum (see https://www.museumofplayandart.com.au/jobs). We currently have r...oles available for full/part-time cafe staff, casual educators and management. Congratulations Lucas. We’re all better for knowing you. x

07.01.2022 And it’s a WRAP!! (On day one of our third launch that is ) Just a heads up that we’re now booked out til Thursday - but there’s still tickets for the weekend... And we’re taking PARTY bookings as well, if you have a celebration on the horizon!! xx See you for a play soon!!!

06.01.2022 It has been truly heart-warming to play host to so many friends and family catching up on lost time - playing, eating, learning, and making precious memories together again @ MoPA. We've decided to continue limiting attendance to well-below the capacity limitations provided by DHHS, which does mean that tickets/availability is still quite limited. We're sorry if you find yourself missing out on the session you wanted, but can absolutely assure you that your visit will feel v...ery comfortable as a result - just the way we like it :) Weekdays are currently selling out 1-2 days in advance, and Weekends are selling out roughly 2-4 days in advance - so be sure to plan and book your visit at least a few days prior. See you soon for play! xx MoPA

04.01.2022 Ghostly excited that Halloween is next weekend. Half of our Boo-Boxes are sold already and the facade of our beautiful Museum will get a super-fun makeover this Sunday in readiness for the Boo-Box pickups. Can’t wait to see all you spooks next Saturday!

04.01.2022 The MoPA team were privileged to have been part of Bond Street Kindergartens first social gathering for over a year! What an awesome night!! Food, fundraising, some bubbles for the olds, and an all around GREAT start to the weekend. x

02.01.2022 MoPA is booking up really quickly during school holidays... We're just so grateful for your support, and we wish to apologise to anyone who might be missing out when you go to book. If you plan your visit and book 2-3 days ahead, everyone should be able to get tickets to the session that suits you best! Thank you so so much for your patience. xx MoPA
