Change it Up: Valentine’s Day Experiences for Everyone — and Singles too!

Tired of the same ‘ol V Day dinner date? We get it. No reason you can’t spice it up with your bae and do something unique this Valentine’s Day. Don’t worry, we kept it local to Toronto — as much as we all want to get the hell out of this deep freeze! To help and make it as brainless as possible, we curated a few last-minute unique, and over the top, date experiences to make it feel like the first date again.

Albeit, there is dinner involved in some of them — but, hey… we all need to eat and foodies at heart. No teddy bears or chocolate hearts needed here. 😉

Here are a Few Unique Valentine’s Day Experiences To Do in Toronto

No two couples are the same, let alone people. So why expect everyone to want to do the same thing on Valentine’s Day? That’s why we came up with this curated list of unique experience for different types of couples — and singles too.

This year Heli Tours is offering great discounts every weekend throughout the month of February on some best-selling private packages.  Get the birds eye view of our incredible city at dusk or dawn with the one you love.
