If you want to give your partner the full picnic experience, why not cook up a storm and take a hamper along with you? (Don&#8217;t forget the blanket!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could take your partner punting on the lake with a guide, who will be dressed in full traditional regalia and regale you with facts about the garden&#8217;s history and flora collection. And why not end the day with a cup of coffee at one of the little cafeterias dotted all around the area? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A perfect end to a day of celebration!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a picnic is not your thing (try it even if it is not your thing), an alternate solution can be visiting a day spa.

You could try a classic musical, like Moulin Rouge! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Musical, Wicked or Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,&nbsp;or head to a modern one like Hamilton. Or, if your beau is a Potterhead, how about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, why not opt for a completely different kind of show and head to the <a href=\"https:\/\/museumsvictoria.com.au\/scienceworks\/visiting\/melbourne-planetarium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Melbourne Planetarium<\/a> for a show about the cosmos? The institute holds a fascinating display of planets, stars and constellations projected onto its 16-meter dome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of their programmes are out of this world &#8211; they once did a show of Pink Floyd&#8217;s &#8216;Dark Side of the Moon!&#8217; They hold events &#8211; so you could potentially ask them for some help to make your partner&#8217;s birthday extra special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

On their birthday, take your partner to an outdoor cinema. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could try the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moonlight.com.au\/melbourne\/program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Moonlight Cinema in the Melbourne Botanical Gardens<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.therooftopguide.com\/rooftop-news\/rooftop-cinema-melbourne.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rooftop Cinema in the CBD<\/a>, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ripponleaestate.com.au\/event\/barefoot-cinema\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barefoot Cinema on the Rippon Lea Estate<\/a>.

By purchasing special tickets, you and your partner will be granted exclusive access, after hours, to the ongoing exhibit of the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could even have a chat, a drink and a bite to eat with some of the artists in the museum hall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artscentremelbourne.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arts Centre in Melbourne<\/a> has local and international performances and exhibitions, and <a href=\"https:\/\/fedsquare.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Federation Square<\/a> is chock-full of art galleries and installations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We love the idea of walking hand in hand with your partner through art installations on a quiet night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manofmany.com\/lifestyle\/sex-dating\/date-ideas-melbourne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quirky couple birthday celebration places <em>near me<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

Both places specialise in producing their own wine and a bounty of harvest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could take a dip in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peninsulahotsprings.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mornington hot springs<\/a> for the ultimate day of relaxation or rent a cabin after travelling through the forests of the Dandenongs.
