After Hours: Chemical Romance

This Valentine's weekend, join us for a unique adults-only evening exploring those feelings of instant chemistry.  

Bring your dates or mates (just maybe not your grandma) and get spicy in the Kitchen, fall in love with robots and open up some hearts - literally!

Come and explore our two floors of exhibits, all with a drink in hand and no kids running around!

What's on this After Hours:

• Nothing says ‘romance’ like a hands-on heart dissection - explore the anatomy of love via a guided experience in our Open City Lab.
• Embrace the Science of Spicy and get your taste buds burning with our chilli tasting in the Kitchen.
• Wander through the Greenhouse and learn about the history of love potions and ancient aphrodisiacs.  
• Craft your own vibrator in our Tinkering Space, using simple electronics and hardware shop materials (for ornamental purposes only).
• Surround yourself with swoon in our Theatre of Curiosity display; rose petals and candlelight provided.
• Step into our Planetarium for glimpse of the Solar System. We’ll be running a short taster experience of our awe-inspiring visuals. Seats will be first come, first served. Please check show times on arrival.
• Enjoy a playlist featuring all the best love songs, heartbreak anthems and steamy singles with DJ Remy Melee.

This event is for 18+ only.
