Adventure, laughs, and discovery – it’s all happening at Melbourne Museum this autumn!
Mamma says - Get ready for a season of hands-on fun, where kids can uncover the mysteries of bats, create colourful insect worlds, and step back in time to the age of dinosaurs. It’s all about exploring, imagining, and getting stuck into the wonders of nature! There is even a family sleepover happening - imagine a night at the museum!
And the fun doesn’t stop there – the Melbourne International Comedy Festival is bringing family-friendly performances to the museum, so expect plenty of giggles along the way.
