Construction Site

Visit Construction Site Summer Fun at the Ipswich Art Gallery this summer for an awesome, hands-on, immersive experience the whole family can enjoy.

From 2 December, the entire Gallery will become an innovative, family-oriented, creative play space offering multiple engaging activities.

With Construction Site Building Blocks kids can be their own architect and build their dream cubby house. Using giant foam blocks everyone can build whatever they can imagine: construct a castle, an igloo or a super sky-scraper. Get Mum and Dad to join in to build a whole city.

The fun continues in the amazing TapeScape created by US artist Eric Lennartson. Immerse yourself in this unique, tri-level, multi-sensory play space made from over 115km of clear packing tape. Explore the tunnels and slides in this latest and largest TapeScape – an Australian exclusive only at the Ipswich Art Gallery.

There’s also Blue Blocks where kids can build on a smaller scale to create their own invention. Then they can unleash their inner engineer to create their own Ball Run using tubes and recycled materials to send a rolling ball on its way. See who can make the best, longest or most gravity-defying ball run ever!

Ipswich Art Gallery Director Michael Beckmann said the Gallery team were ready to welcome families to enjoy Construction Site Summer Fun. With all-day entry at only $7 per person or $20 for a family pass (free for under 2s) it’s an affordable day of creative play in an air conditioned environment.

Need to know - Socks MUST be worn on the TapeScape. Bring your own or buy specially designed TapeScape Socks at the Gallery for only $3 a pair – yours to keep.

Construction Site Summer Fun is open daily from 10am to 5pm at Ipswich Art Gallery from 2 December 2019 to 16 February 2020 (Closed 25 Dec to 1 Jan inclusive).
