A positive experience! Staff were welcoming and helpful. Plenty of space to move around. Felt comfortable. Other venues we have been to are too overcrowded. The colours are very pleasing to the eye and not overwhelming. Educational AND entertains the children - a win for the adults!

Honestly worth their weight in gold. We just celebrated my husband and daughter’s birthdays here (40th and 1st). Once I had made the list of invites there was 54 adults and 30 kids. I was so stuck as to where can you go to accommodate that. Then MOPA came and stole the show. They have an alcohol license so the adults could enjoy a beer, coffee machine soft drinks ect ect. The staff basically entertained all the kids the whole time so the kids all had an amazing time as did their parents. Thank you so much MOPA. Everything was a breeze.

This place is awesome, visited with a friend and both our toddlers had an absolutely amazing time! Live pictures/paintings, slides, dance rooms, interactive activities, story time, car paintings, dance parties and more. No outside food allowed, cafe available inside. Bookings highly recommended, I like how they crowd control (you get a 2 hour session) allowed our kids enough space to move around in within their session. The whole area is very clean too. There's a decent sized parking lot outside, but since it's shared with other services and shops in the area, can be quite hard to find a spot. Price guide (as of Aug 2025): $18 adults $24 child (1 - 18 years) $5.09 for small cloudy apple juice on card

What an excellent educational and fun space for kids! The site is large (hence not noisy and not chaotic), very clean, and nice for parents to hang out whilst the kids play in a safe environment. Staff are very friendly and helpful as well. This is a fantastic concept and we will definitely be back!

We had my son Levi’s 3rd birthday at MOPA Sandringham and it was fantastic! The kids loved playing, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was great for both kids and adults. Lolly bags were a hit and everyone went home happy (and tired!). Highly recommend for kids’ parties.
