Why this works as a date
The focus is on play rather than just looking – it lowers the pressure and provides a hundred little things to chat about.
What to order
Set aside two hours and grab a coffee at the cafe halfway through. Check if there are any shows in the planetarium on the day.
Best time to go
Weekdays, once the school groups have left.
