National Capital Exhibition
From April 23 2018 the Exhibition will undergo an exciting redevelopment. However, in order to provide this new, modern and educational experience we will be temporarily relocating our current exhibition to East Space, Commonwealth Place, Queen Elizabeth Terrace, Parkes until the end of August. This location will open on 14 May.
We will still have LEGO, DUPLO and our popular Little Griffins program - so come across the lake and visit.
