Love is in the air! While that sounds romantic, it also means that time is quickly running out to plan your Valentine’s Day date night! Here are five romantic destinations for you and your boo, in the Bay Area:
- San Jose Municipal Rose Garden
-
Nothing says romance like roses. The Rose Garden is the perfect spot for a cute picnic and paint date!
Whether you make some sandwiches from scratch or pick up something quick on the way there, your significant other is sure to swoon the second they walk through the gates.
- Watch A Movie At the West-Wind Capitol Drive-in
-
Picture this… you and your special someone, cozied up in a blanket burrito, eating snacks, and watching a cute rom-com… or an action-packed thriller, whatever floats your boat.
Drive-ins have been at the top of all cute date spot lists since they became a thing, and it’s easy to see why.
The West Wind Capitol Drive-in has tons of movies to choose from, and even has snacks available to buy there!
- Santana Row
-
Talk about date night central! Santana Row has tons of great restaurants to choose from, for you and your significant other to check out.
My personal favorite, and where my boyfriend and I will be going this V-Day is a restaurant called Maggiano’s Little Italy.
It is one of the best Italian food places I’ve been to, and for the portion sizes, and quality of food you get, it is a good place to check out.
Whether you choose to go to Maggiano’s, or any other place in Santana Row, I would definitely recommend making a reservation.
- Petroglyph Ceramic Lounge
-
Create long-lasting memories, and a long-lasting ceramic thing with your significant other, at Petroglyph!
You and your partner get to pick your piece, pick your paint, and then let your creative juices flow!
From cups to figurines, you get to create a little work of art, and spend quality time with your person at the same time!
- Check Out Downtown San Jose’s Awesome Museums
-
There are tons of cool museums in Downtown San Jose, and they are the perfect place to go with your partner, to get in that quality time.
The Museum of Art has tons of beautiful pieces to gaze at, and admire!
If technology is more your thing, or you’re looking for something more hands-on, the Tech Interactive Museum is the place for you!
Build catapults, learn about what goes into making a successful city, and play with cool objects
And finally, if you’re looking for something that is just super duper awesome, the Children’s Discovery Museum is the place to be! There are so many awesome exhibits and something new to learn every time you go!
These ideas are great for V-Day, but are definitely not limited to that!
No matter what your V-Day plans are, or who they are with, Her Campus at SJSU hopes it is as wonderful as you!
