Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and for some figuring out plans can make it a stressful time. Do you face the crowds and go out to dinner? Do you even address the day at all? Valentine’s is supposed to be fun. It’s a time when you can celebrate the love you have for partners and friends. Here are four Valentine’s ideas to inspire you.
Ice Skating at Robson Square
Ice skating at Robson Square is the perfect activity to cap off the night. This is a great spot to go with friends or for a romantic skate with your partner. The best part is, it’s free to skate! There are rentals available if you need them though. Skates are $5, helmets are $2 and the ambiance is free.
