Scienceworks After Dark
Scienceworks is opening its doors after dark during the winter solstice, for an adults-only night where Melburnians can roam through exhibitions, catch docos on the planetarium dome, sip mulled wine and enjoy live music. Embrace your inner child at the museum's fun-filled exhibitions, including a giant bouncy castle, and try once again to beat Cathy Freeman in a virtual race (you were so close when you were 12, surely you can do it now!) The Planetarium dome will also be open with three immersive screenings on the night, each exploring the wonders of space and the broader universe. Lie back and take in the magic of the cosmos, with a drink in hand. Plus, there'll be arts and craft activities, live music and performances. You can even get free entry to Grazeland just next door, where there are endless food options for dinner. It all makes for an ideal, wintery Friday night out – have a great time and who knows, you might learn something too. Find out more and purchase tickets on the website.
