The Natural History Museum is staying open late on Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is coming up and many love birds in London will be thinking about planning something special for their beau.

But how do you show someone how much you like them? Play hard to get, nuzzle up close, strut your best dance moves, or stick like glue?

This Valentine's Day, take inspiration from the natural world, and join scientists at the Natural History Museum as they delve into love in the animal kingdom.

From dance classes to science stations, there’ll be plenty of after-hours antics to get involved in, plus a fully stocked bar and even a live harpist to serenade you.

After discovering all the weird and wonderful ways animals find a mate, head into the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition where some of these fascinating behaviours have been captured in the stunning images on display.

So drop-in, grab a cocktail, explore the galleries after hours and spend some koala-ty time with the ones ewe love.

Ticket price includes a free digital photo from Magic Memories and entry to the sixtieth Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition.

And then after all that, maybe you can err... go home and do it like they do it at the Natural History Museum?

Tickets cost £40 per adult and the exhibition will run from 6:45pm-10pm. Book yours here.
