The Museum of Australian Democracy (MoAD) is not just for learning about Australian history. It is also an absolute haven for children. Their famous PlayUP exhibition is a must-visit area, and it is full of colour and interactive fun.
Right in the heart of PlayUP, you will find a special zone just for creativity: PlayUP Craft Canberra. This activity is perfect for little hands. Importantly, it is completely free!
New craft fun happens every single week. This means you can visit again and again without the kids ever getting bored. How do the activities change so often? The friendly facilitators base the projects on special themes. These themes often relate to a different United Nations day or a national day of significance. It is a brilliant way to sneak in a little learning while the children are busy creating masterpieces!
The best part is how easy it is to drop in. PlayUP Craft runs daily from 10:30 am until 12:30 pm. Since the activities are supported by facilitators, parents can relax a little, knowing help is on hand. Furthermore, the MoAD team has thought of every detail. The entire PlayUP exhibition is highly accessible. This means it features quiet spaces, comfortable seating for tired grown-ups, and convenient baby change facilities.
Do not skip this gem during your next trip to the Parliamentary Triangle. They offer a budget-friendly way to enjoy your time, whether you are a local family or just visiting the ACT. Go ahead, let the kids get messy and make some beautiful memories at Kids craft Old Parliament House!
