Family Fun
Step into a world of family fun at The Rooms! Experience an afternoon filled with creativity and connection for the family. This monthly event showcases a new theme and craft, cleverly tying into our galleries. Unleash your creativity, create memories, and relish quality family time with us!
In connection with The Rooms Natural History Collection, get inspired by bugs!
Come learn about insects, arachnids, and anthropods and the important role they play on our planet. Celebrate these tiny creatures in a big way by designing your own beetle, bee, or butterfly and with over a million known insect species, and thousands more discovered every year you can let your imagination go wild!
This is a drop-in program – no ticket is required.
Events & Programs
Taking inspiration from Toby Rabinowitz’s exhibition, A World Within A World, visitors can choose an animal silhouette provided by us and decorate it with brightly-coloured patterns using various shapes and materials.
Toby’s artwork is full of bright, imagined worlds with magical creatures and friends playing together. She says her work is for kids and happy adults – make sure you stop in to look for yourself in the art gallery on level 4.
What magical creature will you create?
Drop-in program – no registration is required.
