Beach Babies

Relax by our shimmering projections and sand-free soft castles as you soak in soothing instrumentals and bespoke sensory play experiences with your little one.

On selected Wednesdays and Fridays in January, our summer interactive exhibition The beach is open extra early just for our young visitors 0-24 months and their parents and carers to enjoy.

Sip a beverage of your choice from ripples cafe as you lounge with your bub beside immersive large-scale light projections. There’s adult-friendly conversations to enjoy as you view collection displays of vintage swimwear and surf culture, as well as baby sensory play time featuring a range of tactile beach-inspired experiences, from bubbles to balance stones, inflatables to musical instruments, interactive rock pool animations, intertidal animal puppets and beach library stories inside our exhibition area.
