What could be more romantic than a spot of stargazing on Valentine’s Day? Head to the rolling greens of Centennial Parklands with that special person who gets you all starry-eyed for a sunset picnic followed by a star-gazing session led by a real astronomer with a selection of telescopes provided by the Sydney City Skywatchers.
Dr Luke Barnes from Western Sydney University will guide you through the constellations and show you how easy stargazing can be. At $19 a ticket, the price on this romantic outing certainly isn’t astronomical either.
You can keep things down to Earth and pack your own picnic along with your partner’s favourite bottle of wine, or take advantage of Centennial Parklands’ partnership with Pop Up Picnic (hampers start at $55, and delivery is $20), or grab coffees and tasty snacks within orbit from on-site café Bar Coco. Don’t forget your picnic blanket!
