Kids up late: Wonderland

Family fun in Wonderland awaits after the Museum closes for the day! 

Join us for a unique after-hours Museum experience and fall down the rabbit hole into a world of curiosity, adventure and fun! Meet the Queen of Hearts or the Mad Hatter and experience Wonderland for yourself! 

Explore Wonderland before it disappears with after-hours exhibition access; get lost in the Hallway of Doors, squeeze into a tiny house, climb a giant chair to peek into Alice’s room, and post your personalised soldier avatar on the Queen’s croquet ground. Look out for our roaming performers throughout the evening. 

Outside the exhibition on Level 1, drop in for activities and games to complete your Wonderland experience! Have you become smaller or is our caterpillars and rabbit holes mega game too big? Sixty-four squares full of traps and tricks… roll the dice and try your luck. Perhaps you'd prefer a game of flamingo croquet or bean bag toss? Make sure to win so you can keep your head!

For those who are always curiouser and curiouser, get up-close and explore the natural world through a microscope, or get hands-on and make a Wonderland-themed craft to take home.

Bring your own picnic to enjoy while you watch our Illuminate: Alice projections from 7pm in an exclusive outdoor viewing area.

Please note no food or drinks are allowed in the exhibition.
