There’s a lot of activities you and your significant other partake in on Valentine’s Day, which falls on a Sunday this year. Here’s a few date-night ideas.
Go for a romantic skate The public skating rink at Nathan Philips Square is open until 10 p.m. all week, and the night before Valentine’s Day Harbourfront Centre is hosting DJ SK8 Nights, where you and your sweetie can skate for free to some live tunes. If you’re not the next Kurt Browning or Danielle Goyette, The Harbourfront Centre is also offering skating lessons for all ages every day from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. up until and after Valentine’s Day.
Take in a show Toronto’s entertainment district is a hotbed for all kinds of culture. Check out Jersey Boys at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, Little House on the Prairie at the Canon Theatre, Otello at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts or Cloud 9 at the Panasonic Theatre.
Rediscover Toronto Take a tour through the Distillery District, a pedestrian-only heritage shopping village where movies such as X-Men and Chicago have been filmed. Notable art galleries, boutiques and restaurants will round out this charming evening.
One-up Cupid with your own archery skills Casa Loma is not only Toronto’s only castle, it’s one of the city’s top attractions. Casa Loma will be celebrating Valentine’s Day this year with afternoon archery lessons taught by a certified instructor.
Get a new perspective Toronto Helicopter Tours is offering a Romantic Interlude package with a private sunset helicopter tour of the city for couples, along with gifts and photo souvenirs.

Let me share some my experiences with this the most romantic day of a year. I can trully recommend snowshoeing as a unconventional way of spending funny moments with your beloved half. I tried it for a first time a year ago and it was great!
My next tip how to avoid commercialism for this day and please your close at the same time, is to make Valentine’s Day cards on your own…
they will worth it much more than those from shop.
Take care,
