Creative arts centre in Birrarung Marr where children from babies to age 13 collaborate with professional artists through hands-on workshops, exhibitions, and performances. Free outdoor playground with sculptures adjacent.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with creative kids aged two to thirteen who want structured art making led by real artists rather than standard play. The program changes regularly, rewarding repeat visits. Under-fives enjoy the tactile, messy play format as older children engage with more complex collaborative projects.

“Brilliant. This space was so well organised and fun for the kids to freely change activities. From wall painting on the paper. To throwing painted balls into a net. Painted balls and painting paper and the placing them in salad spinners. There was also a non paint play area. The kids loved it!”
