5 Unique Valentine's Date Ideas

Valentine's Day spikes sales in chocolates and flowers, but why feed the cliche? Let's be unique this Valentine's day with a list of some out-of-the-box Valentine's day ideas for that special someone in your life! You can take credit for thinking of these fun, extraordinary date opportunities, right here in Wisconsin!

1. Ice Castles, Wisconsin Dells

Experience something magical at the Mt. Olympus Theme & Water Park in Wisconsin Dells, where the iconic traveling ice castles have taken a pit stop. A structure made entirely out of ice, is best seen at night when it illuminates the cold. For a small admission fee, seeing this is definitely worth it.

Here's more on the Ice Castles http://icecastles.com/

2. Milwaukee Public Museum, Milwaukee

Who said a dusty old museum?! This is far from, and MPM is bringing this February, a special event for star gazers. There will be a two evening run of a romantic program exploring out-of-this-world love in the Planetarium. There's a small admission fee of $25 and it is for adults only.

3. Escape MKE, Milwaukee

Want to take on a trivial mystery with a group of couples or friends for Valentines? Escape MKE is "choose your mission" style escape room. You are given a certain length of time in order to 'escape' from the facility. Cost may vary depending on group size.

Their website is here http://escapemke.com/

4. Zor Shrine Circus, Madison

Well here's something a little different. The Zor Shrine Circus is coming to Veteran's Memorial Coliseum in Madison for a three night exotic display of animals, acrobats and more! Signature acts include Carden Elephants, the Cruzado Group and Saturn Garcia Globe (pictured below). If the circus is something for you, then check this out the weekend after Valentines Day!

5. Slice of Ice, Red Arrow Park

Skating is free, and rentals are only $8. Show off your moves, or cling to your partner, and enjoy being out on the ice. The rink is open until 11 pm on Saturday and is located on Water street in front of Starbucks, downtown Milwaukee. Follow up skating with a steaming cup of coffee or hot chocolate inside.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
