What to do for Valentine’s Day 2017 Chicago IL

While many fans across the country still have the Super Bowl on their minds, with our team long out of the running, we’re already looking ahead to Valentine’s Day. It’s time to take a moment to shed any disappointment and focus on our significant other, but how can this year be different? Most dates are just a dinner and a movie, but Valentine’s Day 2017 can be different if you know what you’re looking for. These are some Chicago IL events to keep the romance going.

Things to do for Valentine’s Day in Chicago IL

There are some things you can do last minute, like buy flowers or chocolates, but if you don’t have plans ahead of time, you might find your options are limited or expensive. Below are some ideas to get you started, but we suggest you call ahead and make reservations as soon as possible.

Valentine’s Day Cruises at Navy Pier

A cruise can be a romantic vacation, but a short cruise aboard the Odyssey is a great opportunity to view the skyline and enjoy a meal and dancing without feeling lost at sea. Right now, through Feb 3, you can also save up to 20% for booking early.

Book a Carriage RideValentine's Day Wooden Hearts

There’s a reason horse-drawn carriages are a go-to setup for romantic scenes in the movies, but you should be aware that you won’t be the only one to come up with this idea. Some places are already booked solid, so you’ll want to call now.

Nature Walks through Cook County

In a big city, sometimes the most romantic thing you can do is keep your phone in your pocket and find a quiet place to be alone. There are plenty of trails you can walk, although you might want to schedule this during the weekend before Valentine’s since hours end at sunset.

Take a Class Together

Do you fancy the opportunity to brush up on your culinary skills? Want to learn how to dance? You’ll find there are many workshops running from common couples’ activities to learning how to make candles or fix up your own bicycle.

Ice Skate at Peninsula Sky Rink

If taking a cruise seems more like a summertime event, why not take advantage of the winter weather and skate up high on the Peninsula Sky Rink? You could also go to Millennium Park, but we prefer this rink for the amazing view of the city.
