Milwaukee museum hosting special ‘Date Night’ every Thursday in February, with fun activities for couples to enjoy.

If there’s anything more fun than riding your Harley on the open road, it’s doing so with your significant other. Whether riding on the same seat with you, or riding on their own bike, the bond you share with each other can only be strengthened with same love you both share for the MoCo.

So, why not take it to the next level? The Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is hosting a special “Date Night” every Thursday night in February, guaranteed to blow away the sappiness Valentine’s Day tends to attract every year.

Easy Rider Harley Bikes

Held on the Thursday nights of February 6, 13, 20, and 27, couples will enjoy two-for-one admission to the Harley Museum, where they can explore new and permanent exhibits like Custom Culture, featuring rides like the two from the Sixties counterculture classic, Easy Rider.

They’ll also enjoy a themed scavenger hunt, menu items for two at the Motor Bar & Restaurant (including breaded cheese curds, half-roasted chicken, and house salads), and coupons for paired items at the gift shop. And of course, couples can get matching (temporary) tattoos at the airbrush station. Sounds like fun to us!

Harley-Davidson Night Train Fukushima Bike

If you and your special someone happen to be in Milwaukee on Valentine’s Day, though, the Harley Museum has something equally cool happening on February 15 and 16. If you have either a pass to the museum, or one to the Milwaukee Art Museum, you can enter both museums on one pass; both of you will need to buy separate passes, though, as it’s one pass to a customer. A romantic weekend with art of all kinds, in two places, with a single pass? You can’t beat that!

Old-School Harleys

To participate in the Harley Museum’s Date Nights, you and your special flame need to roll-up to the museum on the aforementioned dates between 5 and 8 p.m. A general admission pass will set you back $22, but you’ll receive two passes in return. Then, it’s all Harleys and roses from there. Maybe some Harley-themed chocolates at the gift shop, too. There’s certainly nothing more romantic than black and orange.
