It’s that time of year again in Baltimore, when love is in the air—and maybe panic in the heart. What special thing, you ask yourself, can I do for with my love this Valentine’s Day? Worry not, we’ve got you covered. Here are 5 ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day in Charm City. You’re sure to find something perfect for you—but think earlier rather than later for reservations.
1. Take a Cruise
No, really—Spirit Cruises offers a one-day cruise on the bay on Valentine’s Day, complete with entertainment and a buffet dinner. You and your love can spend romantic time together on the water, and let someone else worry about the details.
2. Dinner for Two
Sure, that’s an old favorite—but that’s because it works! There is no reason it has to be boring, though. Baltimore’s eateries offer something for every taste on Valentine’s Day. Quiet, intense intimacy at Sotta Sopra or a gourmet experience at Cunningham’s. Or perhaps the Bluegrass Tavern, with its touch of the South, is more your idea of romance. Baltimore’s many eating and entertainment spots truly shine on Valentine’s Day, so take your pick.
3. Or, There’s Always Sex at the Zoo
Yes, it’s what it sounds like. But not for you. Maryland Zoo pros let you in on the best part of the cycle of life among animals. And they feed you, too. Check online for available times—you’ll need to purchase tickets in advance.
4. With Family
Sometimes it’s “Just the three (or more) of us” on Valentine’s Day, by necessity or design, so you need something all of you can enjoy. Luckily, there is always something for families to enjoy in Baltimore. A day at the beach or water park, trips to aquariums or zoos, geek and sci-fi fests and more, right inside the city or not too far outside. Check local listings for dates and times.
5. What About Valentine’s Day for Singles?
Single’s parties are a long-standing Valentine’s Day tradition in Baltimore—for those looking for love, or who just want to spend the day with other people. With only yourself to please, you can attend any of the events above or choose from many other activities to carve out your own perfect Valentine’s Day.
