Creative Lab: Antopia


Designed for kids aged 5 to 12, create a one-of-a-kind ant diorama while immersed within a sensory-rich environment inspired by the intricate world of ants.

Step into the bustling, tiny world of ants and their friends in this vibrant watercolour workshop. Kids will dive into a hands-on, creative journey where they'll build their very own ant world. Creativity takes the lead as they bring the miniature world of ants to life with interactive activities and plenty of imagination.

And the highlight? A live ant colony, brought in just for this special program, giving kids a rare chance to see these amazing creatures up close!

Grown-ups, you’re invited to join the fun and get creative – or simply sit back, relax, and watch as young imaginations take flight.

Please note: This ticket is an add-on and you are still required to get free general entry for your child and admission for any guardians attending the museum.
