Museums Victoria School Holidays

Monday 23 December 2024 to Tuesday 28 January 2025

These school holidays, spark your family’s curiosity and creativity with fun-filled adventures across Museums Victoria’s three museums.

At Melbourne Museum, explore the secret world of tiny ants and their big super skills, dive into the natural world’s wonders, and enjoy hands-on craft activities—or even a museum sleepover!

Bounce into Summersphere at Scienceworks with a jam-packed program of activities. Make your own bubble wand, dance the day away at our Friday foam party or dive into the wonders or air at Air Playground.

And at the Immigration Museum, channel your creativity as you design your own stained ‘glass’ masterpiece inspired by the iconic Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral.
