Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 7 reviews
A children’s museum designed to foster creativity, curiosity and learning through imaginative play. Set amidst a scaled-down, indoor “mini-city”, Interaxcity is a place where kids are the community heroes and can choose to take on any role (e.g. chef, construction worker, doctor). Open to the public for a limited number of sessions daily. Bookings recommended

With such a variety of "roles" they could choose to play, my 3 girls had a great time when we came to visit last week. I wasn't sure if my eldest (9yrs) would feel it was too babyish for her, but she enjoyed every aspect of it. The staff were very friendly, and interacted with my eldest in a role, when I was busy being pulled into another area by her sibling! There was a cute little passport which had all the rooms to go through, and a staff member would come around every now and then to stamp them. Time flew and suddenly my girls were rushing around to finish any area they hadn't had a chance to look at in detail. Allow time to park, as most spots nearby are 1hr only, whereas the session you book in for goes for 90mins.

Geelong Children's Museum, MoPA: Museum of Play and Art, is a beautiful and creative space for children and families to play and learn together. Visitors can roam and engage with the immersive experiences, or join in on any number of artful activations with the amazing team of educators. The Museum is open 7-days a week but tickets are limited - so forward bookings are highly recommended (via their website)!

MoPA is an amazing space and concept. Each area has been carefully considered and made completely for kids - Finally! And then there's the cafe with lovely coffee, food and snacks for everyone. The staff are amazing, helpful, kind and fun. There are plenty of extra activities too, like dance party, paint crafts and paint the car. Will definitely be frequenting MoPA.

Melbourne now has the largest number of kilometres of tram routes worldwide, a title that was once held by St Petersburg i Russia. Hawthorn Tram Depot was closed in about 1965 but the state government's VicTrack kindly stores an historic collection of older trams there. One has to be very careful in choosing when to visit as open days are not on many days throughout the year. There is however a good website and I think Facebook page. Carolyn in the shop greeted us. Admission is suggested to be by way of a gold coin - minimum A$1 - donation. The shop was clean and had a good range of postcards, books and other items including large posters. The tram collection has favourites such as an L and W2 class (types on which I travelled to my Catholic school, loving every minute) and many others such as the 'toastrack' tram, former cable trams (the cable car network closed in 1940 and predated electric trams' introduction, earlier) and small 'single truck' tramcars. There was an excellent display of the famous Melbourne Art Trams. This was airconditioned. The trams are all beautifully restored. Let's hope one day there's teh green light for some to operate again. Some modifications to teh overhead may be required, and franchise owner Yarra Trams would have to agree, but it's not impossible. Well worth a visit!

Fascinating displays from hands on displays to live bugs. The wheelchair basketball display was very interesting and unique. My young kids also loved the play space area
