Reviews
We had a fantastic time at MoPA. It was so fun watching my daughter explore and gravitate toward things I never would’ve predicted. She loved the rubber duck water play area outside and could’ve stayed there all day! Upstairs, the kaleidoscope turners were another unexpected hit.nnThe dance party was super engaging, and I was genuinely impressed by how good the storytime session was. I’d expected a standard storytime, but the audio-visuals and great storyteller elevated it into something special. Even the baby soft play area, which doesn’t look like much at first glance, turned out to be brilliant, a safe, cosy space that kept my 9-month-old happily entertained for a good hour.nnThe only thing to be aware of is that there seems to be just one nursing room that also has a baby change station inside it. It’s great that it exists, but I did feel a bit like I was hogging the space when I needed about 20 minutes to nurse my baby.nnEvery staff member we met was warm, welcoming, and genuinely lovely.
We finally had a chance to visit MOPA Geelong today with our grandkids - it didn’t disappoint, in fact it exceeded our expectations. Set in one of Geelong’s iconic buildings the Wintergarden MOPA is clean and colourful, laid out beautifully, and has many enticing and engaging spaces and activities. Our twin granddaughters who are almost 4 were able to choose what they wanted to do and remain involved for as long as they wanted. Our 7 month old granddaughter was equally captivated by the space, colours, activities and people. The staff are very welcoming and the organised activities craft, story time and dance party balanced out the free play activities very well. We will definitely be returning to MOPA Geelong and might even look into visiting the other venues!
We had the best 2 hours at Mopa. So much to see, play and explore. Loved the different events on every 30 mins with painting the car, decorating sunglasses, story time and a dance party. Also loved the banana bread. We'll be back for sure again soon!
We loved our stop at MOPA! I have 4 kids 1 - 8 yo and they all found lots to do.nBook ahead.
A great space for kids to play and interact with different activities.nThere were a few kids that were definitely over 7 years of age which is fine but they needed more supervision and guidance about being around little ones, especially with the painting activity.nWe wish we’d found the upstairs area sooner because it was a bit quieter and had activities our 2 little ones enjoy.nThe “dance party” at the end was a bit overwhelming with the volume and the number of kids.nOverall a great space that I’d recommend attending just not during school holidays.
