Fun Valentine's Activities to Help You Celebrate (2024)

Funnel cake, popcorn, roller coasters and big stuffed animals to be won? Talk about the best Valentine's Day date ever.

Watch your wedding video together and reminisce about the big day. Nothing gets you in the romantic Valentine's Day mood more than looking back on the momentous day that you said, "I do!"

Looking to try something new? Certain vineyards and organizations let you stomp your own grapes and then will bottle the wine for you to take home. Talk about a treat specially made just for you — by you!

Cue up the song that you danced to at your wedding or a ballad that you both absolutely love and let the music move you.

You can always plan a romantic dinner for two, or you can get your friends in on the fun and host a group dinner. Make it a potluck to cut prep work in half and have everyone bring a dish they absolutely love.

Have you recently gotten engaged and have been meaning to take some engagement photos? Perhaps it's been a while since the entire family took a group shot together? Dedicate time on Valentine's Day to create photo memories and check something off your "To-Do" list with a photoshoot by a professional photographer.

Calling all foodies. Have some fun with food by making cheese or chocolate fondue and see what combos pair perfectly with whatever you serve up.

If the weather is nice enough, take advantage of the fresh air and gorgeous scenery as you bike alongside your significant other. Perhaps you can grab brunch together after logging some miles on the open road?

Take off from work and spend the day sleeping in, cooking breakfast together and doing pretty much whatever you want together — even if all you want to do is lay in bed all day and enjoy some R&R.

If you and your partner (or friends!) enjoy getting your sweat on, go to the gym or on a run together. You can even sign up for a class together and then go get coffee after.

Sure, Valentine's Day is a great day to conquer some of the items on your bucket list, but what about the other days of the year? Spend the 14th dedicated to creating a list of things you and your significant other want to do the other 364 days of the year (and perhaps a plan to accomplish at least a few of them).

Have a favorite song that you both love? Obsessed with the same band? A concert is a perfect place to enjoy some great music and quality time with your Valentine.

Spend the day giving back. Help paint local murals at schools, serve meals in a soup kitchen, pick up trash at the local park or commit to doing some other activity that helps give back to your community in some way.

Bundle up and get those endorphins flowing with a trip to the sledding hill. Break out the old toboggan if you've got one or head to a tubing place that pulls you back up if you don't want to hike to the top each time. Bonus: You can't share a sled without cuddling.

In true Great British Baking Show fashion, have a friendly competition in the kitchen to see who can make the best (and most festive) Valentine's Day desserts — extra points for anything heart-shaped, of course. Maybe you'll even get a Paul Hollywood-style handshake at the end.

The only thing more fun than thrifting or antiquing is doing with it your main squeeze. Challenge each other to find the zaniest, most unique item or create whole new looks for each other. You'll definitely make some memories, even if you don't find treasures.

Got a karaoke machine? Sing your special duet song together. After all, science has proven that singing together with a partner or your best friends helps bring you closer together.
