Hear ancient celestial love stories in a specially curated live 30-minute planetarium show. As you journey through the galaxy, you’ll gaze up at Melbourne’s night sky before flying off planet Earth and out among the stars. See spectacular views of amorous astronomical destinations and marvel at the beauty of the vast universe.
This stunning art/science installation showcases our breathtaking Moon – four metres in diameter and featuring realistic details of the lunar surface. Picnic underneath it and gaze up at its wonders in the Planetarium Foyer.
Get crafty with your loved ones this evening! Design your very own bracelet using a variety of colourful beads. Whether you’re making a gift for someone special or a treat for yourself, this is the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time getting creative with your favourite people.
After sunset, guests can stare at the stars with guidance and support from the wonderful Scienceworks volunteer team and learn about celestial bodies in the sky.
