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.

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.

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!
