pauline gandel children's gallery @ melbourne museum, carlton

Welcome THE MOST AMAZING part of the Melbourne Museum - The Pauline Gandel Children's Gallery.  The gallery has been planned out by experts in education and play and Mamma says almost beyond words. This wing opened in early December 2016 it has been designed with our little ones front of mind - the babies, the toddlers and the preschoolers under the age of 5. Crawlers have plenty of space to explore on all fours, it's super engaging for older preschoolers and not forgetting the adults too! So much to do, so much to see, so much to touch and play and discover you may have a hard time keeping track of what tickles their fancy.

Right at the get-go when the kids walk through the train tunnel they will be fascinated by all that they encounter. From interactive digital displays, hands on building blocks, mirror play, tunnels to explore and things to climb - look out there are treasures hidden around every corner.

Outside there is a cool dinosaur dig, as well as plenty of nature play and trails too. Mamma is absolutely certain that you will love it here with the whole family really and then you have the whole Museum to explore too.
