If you’re looking for an indoor school holiday activity the whole family can enjoy, IMAGINATOR at The District Docklands deserves a spot on your list.
Combining art, technology, light and hands-on play, this immersive walk-through experience is designed to spark curiosity and imagination in visitors of all ages. Whether you’re visiting with toddlers, primary school-aged children, teens or even grandparents, there’s something for everyone to discover.
A world of light, sound and imagination
From the moment you step inside, you’re transported into a futuristic multisensory world filled with interactive installations, digital art and immersive spaces. Wander through glowing light sculptures, lose yourself in kaleidoscopic rooms, explore interactive games, chat with an AI installation and even relax beneath illuminated parachutes while digital artworks play overhead.
Unlike many attractions, there isn’t a set path or right way to experience IMAGINATOR. Families are encouraged to explore at their own pace, revisit their favourite installations and interact with each space in their own way.
Perfect for Melbourne winter
One of the biggest reasons we recommend IMAGINATOR is that it’s completely indoors, making it an ideal choice for those cold, wet Melbourne winter days when outdoor plans aren’t an option.
The experience is self-paced, with sessions lasting up to an hour depending on how long you choose to explore.
Suitable for all ages
We loved that this isn’t an attraction designed just for children. Adults will find themselves just as captivated by the stunning visual effects and immersive environments, making it a genuinely fun experience to enjoy together as a family.
The venue is also wheelchair accessible, and the creators have received positive feedback from many visitors with autism and sensory sensitivities, although every individual’s experience may differ.
Tickets
- Adults: $29.95
