Kids And Families

See what’s on for kids, from special programs to hands-on exhibits built for learning and fun.

Things to See & Do

Families can see how children once learned at school, view colorful murals of strawberry fields and logging scenes, and visit a 1940s garage — complete with a bright red car lifted on a vintage hoist.

School Holiday Workshops

During the April, June, and September school holidays, kids can drop in and enjoy guided craft activities. From building rocket launchers and rubber-band boats to making sock puppets and painting pinecones — every session is fun, engaging, and mess-friendly.

All materials are provided and most sessions don’t require bookings, making it easy for families to join in at their own pace. Just turn up and let your child dive into something creative, no planning needed.
