NGV 2025

It’s Free: This January, the National Gallery of Victoria comes to you through NGV Kids on Tour! Enjoy free art-making activities at over 130 venues across metropolitan and regional Victoria, including the Ballarat East Neighbourhood House. Bring the whole family and enjoy a creative hour. For activities at other venues, visit https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/kids-on-tour/.

Please note that this is a co-learning activity designed for children aged 4+ (and primary school-aged children) where parents and carers are core support for their child to explore and discover together. Assistance from an accompanying adult is required throughout the session. Bookings essential and are required for all children attending. 

More information about the activities is available on the NGV website: https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/kids-on-tour/.

REGISTER NOW (both sessions are identical, so please only register for one session). The sessions are unstructured, so drop in when it suits you during the advertised time.

Please book under the name of the accompanying adult and then email us if you are bringing more than one child (see below).

Session 1: 10.00 am - 12.00 noon, Tuesday 28 January - REGISTER NOW 

Session 2: 1.00 pm - 3.00 pm, Tuesday 28 January - REGISTER NOW

NGV Kids on Tour is supported by Event Partner Officeworks.

Booking more than one child

Bookings are essential and are required for all attending. Please note that our online system only records the email address and name of the accompanying adult and only one booking can be made per email address. We recognise that this is not ideal for booking more than one child into the activity and we are working on improvements to this system. If you would like to book more than one child, please register the adult in the activity and then email us (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) to let us know how many children will be attending so we can include them in the numbers. We have accounted for this in the number of places available to register online (we have kept some aside for additional children). You do not need to register the names of children in the online system, just the accompanying adult. We have allowed space for people to bring one or more children.

Please also note that the Ballarat East Neighbourhood House reopened for Term 1 on Tuesday 21 January with limited staff. We are keeping an eye on the emails about this activity and aim to respond promptly to confirm places for additional children.
