Families at MoAD

On Air PlayUP

While MoAD is closed, we’re bringing PlayUP to you! Tune in every Wednesday on Instagram and Facebook at 10:30am. More about On Air PlayUP

PlayUP

With imaginative play spaces, crafting workshops and inquisitive museum trails, MoAD is the perfect family day out. There is a range of family exhibitions, events and activities that poke their tongue out at the idea that museums are hands-off.

As a precaution to help mitigate the risk of the spread of the virus we have made the decision to temporarily close PlayUP. Thank you for your understanding. 

Action Packs

To minimise the risk to our community, the Family Action Packs will not be available until further notice. Thank you for your understanding.

DressUP

DressUP will be closed from 29 October 2019 to allow for building works. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Think about how you can change the world as you connect with the lives of Malala, Dr Karl, Queen Bey and more. In DressUP, try on costumes inspired by their iconic outfits as you explore the choices they made in order to make a difference in the world.

Be inspired to change the world

Zine Lounge

The Zine Lounge will be closed from 29 October 2019 to allow for building works. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Unleash your creativity in the brand new Zine Lounge—a place for young people to meet, read, and create. 

Relax on the lounges and read any of the many zines available, or if inspiration strikes you can write, sketch, stick or staple together a cool little book about what’s going on in your world.

Visiting basics

MoAD is open 9 am – 5 pm daily. Admission is $2 adults, $1 children and concessions, and $5 family.

For visitors unable to use stairs, lift access is available via the lower entries located at the front of the building, either side of the main stairs.

MoAD Little Corner Shop

While at the museum, pop by the MoAD Little Corner Shop (located in the Terrace Café), for a memento of your visit.
