I’ve said it 100 times and I’ll say it again: Valentines Day is overrated. Yes, it can absolutely be an enjoyable holiday but the pressure it puts on people is a little absurd. With that in mind, coming up with places to go on Valentines Day can be a bit of a stress. Everyone considers dinner to be one of the best places to go on Valentines Day. While that’s all good and well, I think the best places for Valentines Day are anti-cliché Valentines Day ideas. Here is my list of the best romantic places to go on Valentines Day that won’t break the bank and are also in the comfort of your own home.
Honestly – aquariums are such fun date ideas. While that sounds dorky, it truly is one of the greatest places to go on Valentines Day. Channel your inner dork and spend time together watching stingrays float by. Not to mention, when you first enter an aquarium employees usually take a photo of you with a cheesy background. You can pick out your favorite stuffed animal sea otter once you hit up the gift shop. Seriously, I’m an advocate for the aquarium being a fun place to go on Valentines Day.
The best anti-Valentines Day idea is to watch scary movies on Valentines Day. This is a fun fresh breath of air that doesn’t require watching drama or rom-coms. Switch it up with this unique Valentines Day idea. See if any movie theatres are showing old school scary movies. While movies can be a bit cliché of a Valentines Day idea, horror movies are the antithesis of Valentines Day.
Alright, alright, alright; this may be a cliché one of the places to go on Valentines Day but it’s oh so sweet. C’mon – there’s no denying you could always use a massage. Check out Groupon for some great discounts on Valentines Day couples massages.
I’ve said it many times before – salsa dancing is truly one of the best places to go on Valentines Day. This is a way to channel your inner salsa dancing emoji – you know you love her.
A comedy show is one of the best places to go on Valentines Day as well as on any type of date. Who doesn’t love to laugh? This is a great Valentines Day date idea that is unique and better than dinner and a movie.
Why the hell not? This is a funny Valentines Day date idea. There is no way the two of you won’t enjoy yourself. You’ll definitely be surrounded by other couples who thought this was one of the best places to go on Valentines Day. Definitely will spice up your Valentines Day that’s for sure.
Back to a cliché Valentines Day date idea but hey, it’s as timeless as a couples massage. You can’t hate a wine tasting on Valentines Day.

Charlestown is known for their beautiful colonial streets and haunted ghost tours. I’m not sure about you but this is an outstanding place to go on Valentines Day that is entirely out of the box.
Cobblestone streets and Southern charm? Please tell me that does not ring best place to go on Valentines Day? Savannah is known as one of the most jaw-dropping places for art, dance and classical music. Book yourself a canoe ride along the coastal creek and take in the cypress trees and cool wildlife.
