Creative Workshops and Trivia Challenges: What’s On in Toowoomba Today

Holiday Creativity at Cobb+Co Museum

Toowoomba families looking to keep the kids entertained during the school holidays should head over to the Cobb+Co Museum for the Under Construction workshop. Running throughout the day on Tuesday, April 7, this hands-on experience transforms the museum into a buzzing building zone where ordinary cardboard boxes are reimagined as extraordinary inventions.

Designed for children aged 3 to 12, the sessions allow young builders to use safe assembly tools—including saws, scorers, and fasteners—to create everything from wearable designs to secret gadgets. There are three sessions scheduled for today at 10:00 AM, 11:30 AM, and 1:00 PM. While children under five will need a helping hand from an adult, the workshop is a fantastic way to encourage STEM skills and creative thinking. Tickets are $12 per child, and while residents of the Toowoomba Regional Council area receive free general museum entry, workshop fees still apply.

Public Exhibition: Colour Pop at UniSQ

For those seeking a cultural fix, the UniSQ Art Gallery is currently hosting the Colour Pop exhibition. This vibrant showcase is a collaborative effort with the Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery and is open to the public today on the ground floor of B Block at the University of Southern Queensland campus.

The exhibition features a curated selection of works that explore the bold use of palette and form, providing a refreshing visual experience for local art enthusiasts. It is an ideal mid-week activity for anyone visiting the Darling Heights area, offering a quiet space to reflect on contemporary Australian creativity. The gallery is open during standard university hours, and entry is free for all visitors.

Evening Brainteasers: Tuesday Trivia at Fitzy’s

As the sun sets, the focus shifts to Toowoomba’s social scene with the weekly Tuesday Trivia at Fitzy’s on Margaret Street. Kicking off at 7:00 PM, this long-standing community meetup is a staple for locals looking to test their general knowledge in a relaxed, competitive atmosphere.

Gather a team of friends or join a table to compete for various prizes and bragging rights. The event is free to enter, though it is recommended to arrive early to secure a table and perhaps enjoy a meal before the questions begin. Whether you are a master of pop culture or a history buff, it is the perfect way to wrap up your Tuesday in the city center.
