Description
With city skyline views and a riverside location in Melbourne’s historic Spotswood, Scienceworks makes the most of what was once a sprawling farm estate. Just five kilometres from the CBD and watched over by the West Gate Bridge, the grounds are home to a mix of contemporary design and 19th century architecture.
Fancy sipping a cocktail while you preview the future in the Beyond Perception exhibition? Or perhaps you’d like to launch your new product on the Melbourne Planetarium’s 16-metre high projection dome? Next to the Arena, the impressive Pumping Station features exposed beams, polished concrete floors and original brickwork – it’s a flexible and inspiring canvas for events.
From soaring industrial spaces to open lawns and interactive exhibits, Scienceworks is an inspiring destination. Whether you’re thinking fun, formal, intimate or large-scale, we'll work with you to create a unique, memorable event.
The Arena offers a versatile space for any event, with a vast oval framed by the striking Scienceworks building and pavilion-style amphitheatre. Guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the Pumping Station, West Gate Bridge, Yarra River, and Melbourne skyline. The lush lawn provides an ideal setting for warm-weather cocktail parties or family days.
