Time Out says

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 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 guided tours of the night sky every hour. Lie back and take in the magic of the cosmos, with a drink in hand. 

Plus, there'll be arts and craft activities, DJs and performances. You can make a proper night out of it and head to Grazeland just next door, where there are endless food options for dinner. 

It all makes for an ideal, wintery weekend evening – have a great time and who knows, you might learn something too. Find out more and purchase tickets on the website
