Event details

Reconnect in the still quiet of the evening under the twinkling stars. Take time for just the two of you in the warm glow of lanterns along the trail. Get cozy indoors with a hot chocolate bar, a gourmet s’mores station and fun optional games and activities. Be reminded of just how much you enjoy being together.

Join us anytime between 6 and 9 p.m. and participate as much or as little as you like. Valentine’s Day-themed trivia competitions will be held at 6:30 and 8 p.m.
