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.
