With over 200 individual models on display, brand new interactive challenges, and over 1 million LEGO bricks to build with, Bricktionary: The Interactive Exhibition has something to spark everyone’s creativity and inspire them to build their imaginations!

Group bookings

+

-

For 10 or more tickets, contact Ticketek’s group/premium products team. HERE.

Can you buy tickets at the door?

+

-

Tickets are available to buy at the door, but we encourage you to buy tickets online before you arrive to ensure you can secure tickets for your preferred session time, as many are selling out, especially in the mornings and on weekends.

From what age will children be charged for entry?

+

-

Children 3 years and over will be charged entry.

If I buy a family pass can it be used for 1 adult and 3 children?

+

-

Yes, a family is classified as either 2 adults + 2 children or 1 adult and 3 children.

Why can't I book when a session says it is 'available'?

+

-

Unfortunately, because sessions are selling out so fast and have strict capacity limits to comply with COVID rules, sometimes there were only a handful of slots left in a session- so it may say "available" but if your ticket order was for more than is available, then it won’t let you proceed. If you can’t even get 2 tickets, then that means there’s only 1 slot (1 person) left available in those sessions for example. When you go into a session, if it says “limited availability” at the top, that means there is less than 10 slots left, most likely less than 5.

Due to current requirements Ticketek are also unable to process more than 6 people through in one transaction- so if you need tickets for more than 6 you will need to do them in a second transaction.

What is the age limit for children’s tickets?

+

-

The age limit for children's tickets is under 15 years and under.

Are food and drinks allowed?

+

-

Food and beverages are not permitted in our galleries or exhibition spaces to ensure the preservation of our important collections.

-

Yes, for details go to: Melbourne Museum access information.

+

-

Yes, although commercial photography is not permitted
