Make cubbies, solve design puzzles, invent a contraption…Let’s build this town together.

Welcome to Tinkertown, a world of marvellous invention, daring builds and mindful tinkering. There is fun stuff to do and serious stuff to learn!

Explore the engineering design process by building cubby houses and other imaginative structures. Solve challenges, send secret messages and invent wacky contraptions.

Curious objects from the State Collection inspire visitors by demonstrating real-world examples of ambitious and innovative engineering design.

In this fantastic, quirky village filled with hands-on activities there are endless possibilities for creative play.
