Dive in and take advantage of the activities available at your fingertips. Check out what’s available:
1. For the museum lovers
Racine County is full of museums with rich history, stunning artwork, and opportunities to learn. These three museums have free admission. Depending on your interests, pick one of these museums to explore on Valentine’s Day.
2. For the dog lovers
If your valentine is your dog, take them on a date to the dog park this Valentine’s Day. Not only is it enjoyable for your precious pooch, but visiting the dog park can be a great way to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.
Maybe you’ll find your valentine while soaking up the sunshine with your pet at one of Racine County’s seven dog parks.
Visit one or visit them all, but either way, you’ll give the gift of quality time to your pup.
Even if you are in a relationship, going with your loved one and furry friend to the dog park can also be an inexpensive way to enjoy everyone’s company.
3. For the yogis
Bend & Brew is a free yoga session hosted by Yoga Roots Racine. While there is no session on Valentine’s Day, there is an event on Feb. 15 at the studio, 518 College Ave., in Downtown Racine.
Perhaps dinner plans are set for Valentine’s Day already, but you’d like to do something else with your sweetie. This is a great activity to do and no experience is necessary to attend.
There is a recommended donation of $5, but it is not required. After every session, participants will receive a free certificate to use towards a coffee or beer at participating businesses. Another way to keep the date going.
The studio asks attendees to bring their own mats to Bend & Brew. The event is indoors.
Space is limited, therefore, registration is preferred but not required. Make sure to plan on coming 5-10 minutes prior to start time to sign in.
