Coming up short for ideas on what to do this Valentine’s Day? Here are some quick date ideas that hopefully can inspire a decision that can make the 14th a special day for you and your loved one!
1.) Ice skating at Millennium Park ♥
If the weather permits, ice skating at Millennium Park in downtown Chicago would be unforgettable. Not only is it a healthy physical activity to do together, but it is also the one activity where holding hands is must (unless you are a pro skater). To add on, you have the beautiful Chicago skyline as your backdrop.
Hours: Monday-Thursday, Noon-8 p.m.
Friday, Noon-10 p.m.
Saturday (Through Jan. 4), 10 a.m.-10 p.m.
Saturday (Beginning Jan. 11), 10 a.m.-9 p.m.
Sunday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m.
2.) Dinner at The Signature Room ♥
One of the most iconic buildings in Chicago, The John Hancock Skyscraper, will take you up to its 95th floor where you and your significant other can enjoy a romantic candle-lit dinner while being surrounded by the amazing aerial city-view. On Valentine’s Day there will be a special gourmet four-course menu options to enjoy from 5-10 pm.
3.) Geja’s Café ♥
Another unique dinning experience at Chicago is located in Lincoln Park and termed one of “Chicago’s most romantic restaurants.” Geja’s Café features unique fondue dining and live classical music. On the 14th, there is a special four-course dinner package that also includes being given a Geja’s keepsake at the end to remember the special evening.
4.) Navy Pier Cruises ♥
Cruising on the waters, view of the bright Chicago skyline through the windows, live music to dance to, and the amazing selection of food will definitely make this a special night between you two. Navy pier features two cruises each with their own individuality. The Spirit cruise has a more festive and high-energy environment while the Odyssey is more upscale. Whichever you choose, you can be guaranteed an enjoyable night out.
5.) Cute romantic dinner at home ♥
Having a cute romantic dinner at home can save the trouble of a loud packed restaurants, finding parking, waiting for a table, etc. Nothing is more romantic than cooking for your loved ones and being in an intimate setting of just you two enjoying each other’s presence.
Hope this little list will help spark some ideas and make the 14th a special day for you and your loved ones. Happy Valentine’s Day! ♥
