Spend Valentine’s at Scienceworks

When couples think of romantic locations to spend Valentine’s Day, science museums are generally not very high on their list.

But that might be about to change this year when Scienceworks in Spotswood hosts Valentine’s Under the Stars.

Billed as a unique romantic night set among the wonders of the universe, Valentine’s Under the Stars takes place from 6pm–10pm on Saturday 14 February and is open to couples and friends aged 18 and over.

Guests can stroll through galleries accompanied by tunes, marvel at the jaw-dropping four-metre moon installation, and create keepsakes for loved ones.

A highlight of the evening will be the specially curated Planetarium show, Love is in the Stars, a 30-minute live experience weaving ancient celestial love stories with stunning visual journeys through Melbourne’s night sky and beyond.

Other features include Museum of the Moon – an art-science installation in the museum foyer that explores Earth’s only natural satellite – and a craft activity where couples can design their very own bracelets.

Live entertainment will also be provided, performers still to be announced.

Whether you’re passionate about astronomy, seeking a fun date night, or simply looking for a way to celebrate Valentine’s Day, Valentine’s Under the Stars offers a unique opportunity to connect with each other and the cosmos.

Food and drink will be available for purchase throughout the evening, making it a complete night out.
