PLAY MUSEUM IS BACK

-

CHILDREN can immerse themselves in fun educationa­l activities when the Museum of Play and Art reopens on Saturday.

Museum director Thomas Mahon said the venue was proud to reopen after experienci­ng “extreme financial hardship” over the past 18 months.

Mr Mahon said the team had used the latest lockdown and restrictio­ns to renovate the outdoor play space to incorporat­e an outdoor party room and a huge ice-creaminspi­red water table with raging water rapids for the children to splash around in.

“Every time we have gone into lockdown over this last 18 months, we’ve worked really hard, and it has been hard to apply a positive lens,” Mr Mahon said.

“We’ve asked ourselves how can we turn this into an opportunit­y.”

The team was awarded the customer service award at the Geelong Business Excellence Awards this week.

Mr Mahon said the venue was excited to welcome families back.
