    Museum of Ice Cream: Valentine's Two-for-One

    OK, does it get much sweeter than an entire museum of ice cream? The answer is YES, when that museum offers two-for-one tickets to explore their 12 multisensory installations, including a 1960s retro diner, the very first Museum of Modern Ice Cream (MOMI), and that world-famous Sprinkle Pool. "The Valentine’s Day experience will be filled with interactive moments, from writing messages of love on postcards to tasting as many Valentine’s Day treats as you’d like."
