Valentine’s Day can be one pressure-packed expensive extravaganza, but here are 5 fun ideas to share with someone you love that won’t empty your wallet.
Flowers and Chocolate
Krohn Conservatory is a great way to escape the cold weather this Valentine’s Day. From Monday, Feb. 8 to Sunday, Feb. 14, the conservatory has special exhibits that explain how chocolate is produced. Conservatory volunteers will be answering any questions you have and handing out chocolate samples. You can enjoy scents and sights of the Conservatory’s new spring flowers, while enjoying a delicious treat. Krohn Conservatory is open from 10-5, 7 days a week and the best part is it’s free! For more information, call 513-421-5707.
Ice Skating
Whether you’re young or old, part of a couple, a family or single, strapping on a pair of ice skates and breezing around an ice skating rink is fun for anyone. From 2-6 p.m. at Fountain Square this Valentine’s Day, two people can ice skate for the price of one. That’s right, for $5 total you and a loved one can skate yourself silly.
