Design and build your own miniature boat using LEGO® bricks in this hands-on creative space inspired by the museum’s fleet and Australia’s boating traditions.

Visitors of all ages are invited to create a custom vessel whether guided by real boats on the harbour or by their own imagination. Once built, boats can be displayed as part of the shared installation.

Alongside the LEGO® building tables, experienced model makers will demonstrate their craft and share insights into boat design and construction, offering a practical look at how vessels are shaped, assembled and finished.

This drop-in activity combines play, design and maritime craft in a relaxed summer setting.

Suitable for ages 3+
