    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." Tasty, sure, but is it … Instagrammable? Hell, we reckon the adjective might've been coined for this vibrant venue in the Domain.
    Feb. 11-14. $49 (for two).
