For couples who are ready to ditch the same old roses-and-dinner routine, here are some offbeat ways to celebrate the occasion. From dissecting sheep hearts to testing your LEGO-building skills, it's easy to make this an unforgettable Valentine's Day.
Rather than letting someone break your heart, why not cut one apart together? Heartstrings Unraveled begins with a three-course dinner, including made-to-order pasta dishes and unlimited beer and wine. A caricaturist will also be on hand to provide you and your sweetheart with a memento of the night. The event begins at 7 pm for general admission and 6 pm for VIP.
Visitors can peruse the museum and learn about everything from the history of embalming to the origins of various coffin designs. A certified copy of the Shroud of Turin is even on display. For a true challenge, see if your love can survive the heat of competition with a flirty game of putt-putt.
Of all the parks in all the towns in all the world, you should walk into Discovery Green for a screening of the granddaddy of all romantic films: Casablanca. This free event makes it easy to celebrate amore with vendors such as Craftella Bouquet Bar providing flowers and Phoenicia serving up a sweet bar with chocolate. Pack a picnic or order burgers and fries from the Lake House Cafe. The festivities kick off at 5 pm, with the movie starting at 7 pm. Arrive early to secure a good spot.
Patrons will be greeted with a complimentary glass of champagne before settling in at a table on the pergola for dinner. Showings are at pm, pm, and pm. Reservations required. This laidback evening is not just for couples, but surely there isn't anything more romantic than building a Lego Rose Bouquet with the person who makes your heart skip a beat.
