- Perfect date night
Since the dawn of time, the stars have helped mankind predict weather patterns and Winter Olympics gold medalists. Today's deal maintains the tradition by treating you to starscapes as awe-inspiring as they are starry. For $10, you get a ticket to 10000: A Skyline Party Among the Stars (a $20 value) at the Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland. You can redeem your Groupon on either February 19, April 16, or June 18. The event lasts from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on those Fridays.
Your ticket includes a mind-expanding movie about the cosmos, some live music you can dance to, and access to the observatory and all of Chabot's exhibits. Current exhibits delve into the scientific achievements and cosmology of the Maya, give you a most likely dehydrated taste of the life of an astronaut, and take you on a journey to the farthest reaches of the cosmos, among other things. And—weather permitting—you'll get to spy on other planets from either Nellie, the 36" reflector telescope that allows access to 180 degrees of night sky, or Rachel, the largest refractor in the western U.S. You'll have four hours to amble through the science center with a celestial concoction in one hand (drinks are $3–$5 at the cash bar) and your date in the other. After staring into the depths of distant galaxies, you can stare into the depths of each other's eyes over dinner at the Starlight Bistro or Celestial Café (not included in Groupon; reservations required).
Besides providing an unexpected twist on a mundane date option, 10000 also makes for a fun family night. Young children will be so excited to be up past their bedtimes that they won't even notice they're being educated. Go to the box office on your chosen evening to redeem your Groupon and select your shows.

About Chabot Space and Science Center
Chabot Space & Science Center is a non-profit institution and community resource located on 13 trail-laced acres in Redwood Regional Park in Oakland amid the largest stand of coastal redwoods in the East Bay. Museum hours are currently Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. On June 22, the Center will be open Wednesday-Sunday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Chabot features a 241-seat full dome planetarium, interactive and hands-on exhibits, space artifacts, a giant screen theater, and the largest research-level observatory complex, featuring three large scale telescopes, regularly available to the public for weekly live viewing in the Western United States. Chabot Space & Science Center features great indoor and outdoor exhibitions for all ages. Visitors can look forward to The NASA Experience in Studio 1.
The NASA Experience is a hands-on exhibition that brings to life the thrilling, challenging and inspiring process of scientific discovery by showcasing the real stories and people at NASA’s Ames Research Center. Visitors step into the role of a NASA scientist through embarking on hands-on challenges, exploring more than 30+ objects that showcase Ames’ past and future, and getting to know real NASA scientists. In Studio 2, Going the Distance explores how humans are expanding our boundaries by moving farther into the Universe than ever before. With inspiration and content provided by NASA’s Ames Research Center, Caltech’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Planet, and SpaceX, the exhibit traces our journey through the cosmos, and where we are headed.
Chabot's Observation Deck invites visitors to observe the world around them in new ways. Opened in April 2018, the 3200 sq. ft. exhibition area features 12 interactive stations. The Observatory Deck expansion was made possible through Measure WW funds. Exhibits were designed and built by the Exploratorium. Chabot’s mission is to inspire and educate learners of all ages about the Universe and Planet Earth.
