3...2...1...Blast off on your Moonlight Space Mission!
Embark on a late-night adventure during the school holidays with our immersive exhibition, To the Moon. Explore the exhibition and see a real piece of the Moon, decorate a digital rocket and watch it blast off, create moon-inspired poetry, and marvel at Luke Jerram's breathtaking Museum of the Moon. All this space travel can be exhausting, so pick up your space-themed snack box for a unique exhibition experience of having a 'snack with the Moon'.
The fun doesn't stop once you 'return to Earth'! Continue your space mission and head up to Level 3 to look through telescopes with astronomers from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), step into Scitech's transportable planetarium for a bite-sized show, stop in and follow our trail through the Origins Gallery and take part in space-themed activities the whole family will love!
Everything is included in your ticket, throughout the evening you can enjoy the following at your leisure:
- Take a trip To the Moon in our new exhibition, in an exclusive 'up-late' setting
- Collect your space-themed snack box in the exhibition while you sit with our giant moon installation
- Meet an astronomer, look through telescopes and ask your best space-related questions with our friends from ICRAR
- Pop into the Scitech planetarium to hear about the night sky in a bite-sized show
- Follow our trail through the Origins gallery and see meteorites and pre-solar diamonds
- Take part in our space-themed activities on Level 1
