Refresh this date-night classic by splurging for VIP seats at the Cineplex Theatre. Or perhaps surprise your date with your love of culture by going to an independent theatre like VIFF or The Cinematheque for a great night out.

Grab a last-minute hotel deal and whisk your significant other to a romantic hotel for the night. Nothing says “romance” like a little spontaneity, and they definitely won’t see this coming, especially if you’re a last-minute person!
Love Lights Night
Capilano Suspension Bridge
Take your date to the Capilano Suspension Bridge to catch the Love Lights. Wandering the illuminated forest landscape and walking the lit-up, gently swaying bridge is a recipe for a good date.
Ice Skating Night

Glide around the ice with your date on a whimsical – and affordable – night out. There are a ton of rinks around Metro Vancouver, but the Shipyards Ice Rink in North Van might be the best one for February 14.

When in doubt, rely on the spectacular beauty of nature to dazzle your date. Valentine’s Day is supposed to be clear, too. Grab some hot chocolate and take them on a walk along the beach or the seawall. Just some time spent walking hand in hand is romantic enough.
