TELESCOPES AND PLANETARIUM: MUSEUM OF SCIENCE & INDUSTRY (MOSI)
A date to Tampa’s Museum of Science & Industry takes a less of a literal interpretation of “out of this world” dates, but provides a learning adventure of the world beyond for couples interested in stars and outer space. Every month, the museum offers a SkyWatch event from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Couples join MOSI staff in the parking lot outside the new entrance for sky gazing with the MOSI telescopes. Here, your date consists of star gazing and admiring the visible planets, and best yet it’s FREE.
In addition, the Saunders Planetarium within the museum gives visitors another chance to view the stars. Admission to the planetarium requires a general admission ticket for $12.95 per person, and an additional $5 for the 45-minute planetarium show. While you are in the museum, you can also enjoy the exhibit “Journey Through the Stars.” All of these star gazing opportunities will have couples feeling “out of this world” in love.
MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS: STAR WARS EXHIBIT
“Luke, I am your father,” says Darth Vader. Bring your loved one to MFA’s new Star Wars and the Power of Costume Exhibit, which is now open and running through April 1, 2018 at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg. By the end of the date, your date will be following Vader’s footsteps by saying, “Babe, I am your lover.” The characters of the cinematic phenomenon are brought to life and there is heavy focus on not only the costumes of the characters, but the creative process that is behind the collection of films. The cost is $25 for adults, and includes an audio guide. Based on reviews, this exhibit is a must see. The museum is open during the day every day but on Thursday nights, it is open until 8 pm, making it a fun weekday date night.
