Event description

Calling all budding engineers! This week we’re creating an amazing range of moving toys using common everyday materials such as elastic bands and aluminium cans. At the end of the workshop we’ll have an epic toy race!

This Summer Holidays join us at the Tweed Regional Museum for a fun range of workshops and activities celebrating all things toys, inspired by our GAME ON exhibition.

About GAME ON

GAME ON features a treasure trove of over 200 vintage toys spanning from the early 1900s to the 1980s. Relive a golden era of play with an incredible collection of Boomeroo Australian made toys, cherished by generations of kids. Play our early 1980s video games. Challenge your wits with Nintendo Pac-Man or rediscover the magic of Atari.

On until Saturday 23 March 2024
