Open-ended play sessions for children of all ages.  

From dress-ups and puppets, cool construction kits and sensory toys, each of our play kits has been specially selected to inspire children (and babies!) of all ages to explore their senses, come up with games and get creative. Step away from your regular routine and the distractions of home into a space just for you and your family or invite your friends for a special play date! 

Play Time takes place daily at 11am - 12:15pm. Until the 18th April 2022 you can also discover a wonderous new world with The Great and Grand Rumpus - an exciting exhibition the whole family can enjoy! Check the program for details. 

Bookings for Play Time released two weeks at a time, please check back to book for future dates.
