Whether you and your love are active adventurers, art enthusiasts, or major foodies, we’ve got date ideas for Valentine's Day in St. Petersburg and Clearwater that any couple will enjoy.
Date Night at the Museum
This year, February 14 lands on a Wednesday which makes a date night at the museum perfect! Many museums throughout the area offer discounted admission and extended hours on Friday evenings, so if you want to admire artwork that’s as beautiful as your Valentine without breaking the bank, you’re in luck.
At the Imagine Museum in St. Petersburg, enjoy their collection of over 500 pieces of Contemporary American Studio Glass for just $5 after 5 p.m. If glass isn’t your thing, consider strolling through The Dali Museum or the Museum of Fine Arts, both of which offer admission after 5 p.m. for $10.
