Reviews
"Never fails to deliver- the venue is clean, it flows logically and activities for children are centred around them and very engaging. Staff are friendly, helpful and encouraging. The cafe on site is also child centric with an array of food they’ll actually eat and also caters for a variety of dietary requirements. The bang for buck is great! We travel a distance to come to MoPA and will do again and again - kudos to you all!"
"Fantastic on a rainy day. Two hour session with timed activities was perfect for my 3yo. We loved the disco at the end. Huge open space with outdoor area too. Just be aware you aren't allowed your own packed lunch inside. Another drawback is no parking onsite, but we were able to find a free 2 hour park in a side street around the back. Highly recommend."
"Going into a session at Mopa I really had no idea or expectations of what it was or if it would really be something my kids were into. I have to say I was so pleasantly surprised with just how cool, calm and fun this place was. It had a really calm energy but also very exciting for the kids to explore. Staff were unbelievably kind, helpful and lovely to say the least! Lots to do so we didn’t get through everything which means we will definitely be returning with some friends next time. Thanks guys what a cool space you have created for kids to explore and be creative at the same time. Super impressive"
"Such a fun play-centric child entertainment centre. The program (see photo) is expertly timed to allow parents/care-givers to usher their child around the venue to experience all the offerings in between. The staff were all friendly, polite and helpful. They were in a uniform (black tops) and had name tags and a smile on their dials! The food was moderately well-priced, including some interesting kid sized lunch packs and bites. They make jaffles too, but I wasn't able to easily find these on their menu. Just ask. My daughter is 2 yo and enjoyed all aspects of MoPA. In particular, the car painting was a highlight. But she wore some really delicate clothes which weren't ideal! I recommend attending the first session of the day (so the art smocks provided are dry), dressing kids in 'play' quality clothes (something you might send them to daycare in) and also being mindful of what you wear (as care-givers are allowed in the painting area to supervise but don't also get a smock!). I would highly recommend MoPA to all ages but they cater well children in the pre-school and also early school years as we saw some very happy birthday party groups as well!"
"Really Wonderful Safe Creative Place for young kids to Explore, Create, Play & Dance to their hearts are content! Amazing Unique Experiences and fun Activities for their growing minds. Lovely friendly and engaging staff. Kids had a blast!"
