💕 Like, save & follow for more Aussie tips! 💕 You've seen Geelong's famous painted bollards—but have you discovered Museum of Play and Art (MOPA)? 🏛️✨ This indoor playground (ages 1-7) is unlike any in Melbourne—think: 🎨 Painting a REAL VW Beetle (yes, actual car!) 🖌️ Artsy, hands-on exhibits (no giant slides or ball pits—chill vibes only) ⏳ 2-hour sessions (book online! We loved the 1PM slot—kids played till closing!). 📍 51 McKillop St, Geelong | Plenty of street parking! 🐣 Easter Holiday Itinerary: 10:30 AM → Arrive, ride the Sky Wheel 🎡 11:30 AM → Stroll Eastern Beach, meet the bollards & hop on Thomas the Tank Engine train 🚂 12:30 PM → Lunch at Geelong Boat House (fish & chips—Aussie "national dish"! 🍟🐟) 1:30 PM → MOPA playtime (kids go wild, parents relax & scroll 📱😉) 4:00 PM → Drive back, stop for dinner en route! #MelbourneMumLife #DayTripIdeas #GeelongForKids #PlayAndLearn #AustraliaTravel
