For Burlington residents, there are many ways to impress your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day.
Why not spend the day pampering each other? There is nothing more romantic than enjoying a relaxing spa treatment with the one you love. Book your appointment at one of Burlington’s award-winning spas for a body wrap, massage or hand and foot treatment – it’s a sure-fire way to impress your sweetheart! Sanctuary Day Spa, Rosewater Spa of Burlington and Spa in the Village are a few local favourites.
If food is the way to your heart, make a reservation early at one of the city’s fabulous downtown eateries. Located within walking distance of Lake Ontario, many top tier-dining outlets offer Valentine’s Day menus, specially created to inspire romance. The Alex, SB Prime, Paradiso and Pepperwood Bistro are just a few favourites. After dinner, enjoy a stroll along the lakefront.
For the active types, there are more than 10 outdoor ice surfaces open for your skating pleasure across the city. Hold hands while gliding across the ice – what a memorable (and affordable) way to create beautiful Valentine’s Day memories. Locals love Rotary Centennial Pond at Spencer Smith Park, where couples can lace up and enjoy a skate while watching the sunset. The pond is open daily from 10 a.m. – 10 p.m. Afterwards, head to one of downtown’s quaint cafes to warm up with a hot chocolate or cappuccino.
Outdoor adventurers can also visit Rattlesnake Point or Bronte Creek Provincial Park for an invigorating winter hike. Make snow angels, have a playful snowball fight or bring your toboggan and hold each other close as you fly down the hill.
