Love Lights at Capilano Suspension Bridge
Take a stroll with your date under the pink lights and tunnels on Valentine’s Day! The magical atmosphere provides a romantic mood and a perfect backdrop for photos - a great place to spend time with your loved one. Besides the beautiful rainforest chandeliers, there will also be dining specials in the Cliff House Restaurant for those who prefer to spend their night enjoying Valentine's Day eating.
Commercial Drive
If you and your date prefer a more laid-back outing, Commercial Drive is packed with restaurants and cafes. Among them you can find a diverse range of food including Italian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, and Asian. You can have lunch or dinner at one of the restaurants, then grab a drink at one of the photogenic cafes along the drive (some of the cafes close as late as 9pm!). The atmosphere and people are very welcoming, and it's very easy to get there from downtown via Skytrain.
Ice skating
The ice rinks are still open for you and your loved one to take a spin! On the North Shore, there is the Skating Pond on Grouse mountain as well as the Skating Plaza at the Shipyards. If you want to spend a day downtown, there is an ice rink at Robson Square. Admission is free at the Shipyards and Robson Square, and you only pay for skate rentals if needed, which are $7 and $5 respectively.
My Frosty Dessert Cafe
My Frosty is a cute little Korean dessert cafe on E 1st Ave. Their desserts are delicious and perfect after a heavy meal. They are most well-known for their bingsoo (shaved ice), which comes in both single and full sizes if you want to share one dessert. My Frosty is located in First Avenue Marketplace, which has a variety of Asian restaurants including a dim sum restaurant, a Hong Kong-style cafe, a Korean barbeque place, and a ramen place so you can have a meal and dessert within steps of each other.
Gift Ideas
Regarding gifts, nothing is better than roses on Valentine’s day. Flowers have been popular as tokens on special occasions and are a great way to express your affection for someone. Better yet, you can find a bouquet of your beloved's favourite flower. There are many floral studios in Vancouver where you can buy bouquets as a gift for your loved one.
If you're someone who is good with their hands, you can make a gift instead of buying one. You can knit sweaters and scarves for your loved one, or crochet them a cute plushie from their favourite game or show. Even if all you have is some coloured paper lying around, you can still make something beautiful for them, such as flowers. Here are a few tutorials to get you started. Anncia followed these videotutorials to make the carnations and irises in the photo.
