5 Uniquely Boise Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day
You could do a fancy dinner for Valentine's Day. You could do roses and chocolates AGAIN this year. OR you could try one of these super unique Valentine's Day experiences you'll only find in the Treasure Valley!
Woo at the Zoo
Zoo BoiseSaturday, February 10
I'd say I don't know why this makes the Bloodhound Gang throwback song "The Bad Touch" pop into my head, but I know exactly why. On Saturday, Zoo Boise invites couples 18 and older to come learn how their residents mate and date. Expect tawdry, funny and passionate stories during your guided walk through the zoo. The evening also includes a pasta dinner, dessert, drinks, photos with your sweetheart and chocolates to take home!
COST: $45 for pass holders and Boise residents, $50 for nonresidents
Beer Prom 2018
Powderhaus BrewingSaturday, February 10
If you miss the days of neon workout gear, leg warmer and puffy sleeve prom dresses, this is the pre-Valentine's Day event for you! Powerhaus's Beer Prom is a throwback to the 80s and you're encouraged to dress like that! All of the music is from the 80s and you're not going to want to miss the epic dance battle that will ultimately determine who the Prom King and Queen are!
COST: Free admission, $15 for a commemorative cup that includes 3 fills
Romancing the Pen
Old Idaho PenitentiaryWednesday, February 14
Roses and chocolates are nice, but after so many years of getting the same Valentine's Day gift they can seem "eh." Try something knew this year and bring your "ball and chain" to the Old Pen! They'll be sharing "love" stories from the penitentiary, fireside chats where they'll answer all your questions about the Old Pen and complimentary hot chocolate.
COST: 2 for 1, $11
Boise Classic Movies Presents "Pretty Woman"
Egyptian TheaterWednesday, February 14
This is perfect for those in a new relationship. It's a low cost, low pressure date night. Boise Classic Movies will show the modern "Cinderella Story" in the dimly lit, often considered romantic Egyptian Theater. This showing is 21+ only, so BCM will be serving beer and wine at this screening. The movie begins at 7 p.m.
COST: $9 per ticket
Bowling and Bubbly
Pinz & WahoozWednesday, February 14
Sometimes Valentine's Day doesn't need to be over the top. Sometimes you just want to bowl. Celebrate V-Day at Pinz and receive a free glass of champagne or sparkling cider while you bowl from 5-10 p.m.
COST: $4.50 games, $3 shoe rentals
