Ground Up: Building Big Ideas, Together exhibition will be temporarily closed from Monday 16 June to Friday 20 June. We apologise for any inconvenience.

A new space for little tinkerers!

Ground Up: Building Big Ideas, Together is an exhibition for babies to five-year-olds where curiosity is rewarded around each bend with surprising and intriguing sights, sounds and touch sensations.

Future aeronautical engineers can design and construct flying contraptions; little sparks can make patterns and pictures with lights on a giant wall of colourful light-up switches; pint-sized problem solvers get to experiment and construct colourful three-dimensional puzzles; and for all the littlies who love to touch and experiment, there is a giant, colourful car wash to be engineered into action.

In our quieter baby zone, our earliest learners and their carers can lounge within soft forms, gaze at the mirrored reflections and gently turn the wall-spinners to create a cascade of materials within.

Ground Up: Building Big Ideas, Together immerses young children in an imaginative world of sensory discovery and construction-play that will ignite their lifelong engagement with science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).

Encourage your little learner to think big and nurture their curiosity to set them up with a foundation for future learning. Visit Ground Up: Building Big Ideas, Together and inspire the problem solvers of tomorrow.
