Important: Please do not come to PlayUP if you or your children feel unwell. If anyone in your group displays cold-like symptoms we may ask you to leave. If you do not arrive within 30 minutes of your session start time, your tickets will be reallocated. PlayUP sessions run for 2 hours only. 

Please note that downloading the ACT Government’s Check In CBR App from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store before your visit will make your entry at Reception faster and smoother.

Stand up, make up, think up and step up at PlayUP at the Museum of Australian Democracy.

Our imaginative family space has hands-on activities to educate, excite and challenge young minds.

Discover PlayUP – The Right to Have an Opinion and Be Heard, where kids can explore the United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child in a playful way. Adults can even join in the fun too! From listening pods and a roleplay Kindness Café to a fuzzy felt wall and craft activities, PlayUP has a range of exciting and immersive experiences that flip the traditional idea of museums completely on its head.

This creative exhibition space celebrates the role of children in our community and provides a welcoming environment for families to engage in the rights and responsibilities of children through imagination, discovery, roleplay and fun.

You’re invited to join our Closed Facebook group, the PlayUP Community  where you can chat with friends and the PlayUP team in a safe and welcoming online environment.
