Valentine’s Day 2027 falls on Sunday, Feb. 14, so the Valentine’s weekend runs Feb. 12-14. The most unusual Valentine’s night out in town last year was at the Tallahassee Museum, where adults walked the Florida Wildlife Trail after dark to learn how native animals court.

Date ideas

  • Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park, 3540 Thomasville Road. The ornamental gardens, first planted in 1923, have brick walkways, reflecting pools and the historic Maclay House. The park is open 8 a.m. to sundown and the gardens 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Garden admission is charged during the spring bloom season, which the Friends of Maclay Gardens say draws busy weekends; arrive early.
