This year, plan for a memorable and unforgettable evening by trying out one or more of these six unique activities around Vancouver!


     

    Visit the Vancouver Aquarium After Hours

    See a whole new world with your loved one. Explore the underwater galleries at the Vancouver Aquarium After Hours event with a drink in hand. You’ll get to experience special programming such as a puppet show, trivia and more, after the space has been closed to the general public. This popular event only takes place a couple of times a year and makes for a truly unforgettable date night.


     

    Enjoy Valentine’s Day Snowshoe Fondue


    For a memorable Valentine’s Day experience, head up to Mount Seymour for their annual Valentine’s Day Snowshoe Fondue.

You can book this romantic evening online at mtseymour.ca/snowshoe-tours.


     

    Take a Couple’s Cooking Class

    Here’s the dinner for two with a twist – you’ll be the one cooking it.
