Art Spaces That Welcome Kids.

Taking children to an art gallery can be nerve racking! What happens if they touch a piece of art (worth more than your house) and break it? Or have a major melt down and destroy the peaceful ambience in the gallery?

Well lucky for us, there are quite a few art galleries in Sydney that welcome kids with open arms. They not only offer activities and classes to keep kids occupied, but they also provide an on site cafe where we can retreat to when the going gets tough and you need a caffeine fix.
