Searching for something special for your next Friday night out?

Something that will have your significant other actually forgetting about their phone for a while.

Whatever the reason (maybe you want to recapture some of that zsa zsa zsu from the early days), here’s a dreamy destination that first requires you to upgarde the weather app on your smart phone (more about that in a sec, you’re NOT still relying on the one that comes with your phone, are you?), and then ultimately stashing it for a mesmerizing experience.

Twinkle Lights Are Great, But Have You Ever Been Stargazing?

For only $10 — it’s a suggested donation of $5 per person, you can always give more —  a super affordable and memorable date could be yours.

If you're already in the know, maybe you've guessed I'm talking about Stargazing Nights at Frosty Drew Observatory, happening on Friday evenings in Ninigret Park in Charlestown.

After checking multiple weather apps (including Wunderground which is eseentially the Gucci of those kind of apps), it's looking as though this coming Friday is going to be dry and clear, optimal conditions for a nite at FDO.

You probably won't have to wait hours in line to gain access into the actual Observatory, as people do during the summer months, another reason to go this month.

Also: You should definitely bundle up because the roof will be open.

It's a tiny but impactful space in terms of what you'll see via the ginormous Newtonian (telescope) and learn from a knowledgeable crew of astronomers, all under what are considered to be the darkest skies in Rhode Island.

Prepare to be wowed by (and start geeking out over) the Moon and stars, possibly some shooting stars, galaxy sightings, and a whole lot more.

The cosmos related magic happens every Friday nite from 7:30pm to 10:30pm.

So, forget the phone photos, using your flash (which is actually prohibited), and just ENJOY.

 Frosty Drew Observatory & Sky Theater is located at 61 Park Lane, Ninigret Park, Charlestown, RI.
