“Let me tell you ‘bout the birds and the bees…” – no seriously, let them. Zoo veteran, Jason Jacobs, will present a short lecture on his views about being in a relationship and being single. Sweet treats and champagne will be served prior, but guests can also sign up for a gourmet dinner at Reggie’s Bistro.

They say the way to man’s heart is through his stomach, and for ladies, a man that can cook is a keeper! What better way to show off your talent than cooking a delicious gourmet entree for your Valentine’s Day date? Hipcooks cooking offer a variety of romantic “dinner for two” classes featuring dishes that are bound to impress. For example, you’ll learn how to make goat cheese tarts with berry coulis, exotic wild mushroom risotto or chocolate souffle with rasberry cream.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t only have to be about candlelit dinners or bouquets of roses. Grab your special someone – friend, lover, friends or relatives – and dash out to some of this season’s off-beat events.

Here’s to a stress-free Valentine’s Day!
