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. Classified by the National Trust, it’s a reminder of Melbourne’s glamorous 1890s style. Scienceworks is easy to find and ideal for large guest lists, whether you choose the short walk from Spotswood train station or one of 300 on-site parking spaces.

Fancy sipping a cocktail while you preview the future in the Beyond Perception? Or perhaps you’d like to launch your new product on the Melbourne Planetarium’s 16-metrehigh projection dome? Next to the lawns of the Scienceworks Arena, the Pumping Station is one of Melbourne’s iconic 19th century landmarks, and a popular choice for weddings. From the industrial interiors—with exposed beams, polished concrete floors and original brickwork—to the stately central courtyard, it’s a flexible and inspiring canvas for events
