🔥 New beau

  • Take a paint and sip class | Let the professionals at Pinot’s Palette guide you through your own painting while you enjoy your favorite beverage.
  • Go dancing | Ever wanted to try your hand at ballroom, swing, or Latin dancing? Try learning from the crew at The Salsa Center.

❤️ Longtime love

  • Get a couple’s massage | Splurge on a relaxing treatment at Woodhouse Day Spa. Pro tip: Add on a facial or pedicure, because why not?
  • Book a staycation | Reserve an overnight or weekend stay at The Kentucky Castle or Origin Hotel. Who says a romantic getaway requires flights?
  • Treat your inner child | When’s the last time you went roller skating or tried painting pottery? Hop in the time machine with your partner and do something younger you would enjoy.

Not in the Valentine’s Day spirit? Reach out to the Kentucky Wildlife Center. For a $10 donation, the wildlife center will name a cockroach after your ex + feed it to one of its permanent residents.
