Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching! Why don’t do something special that your sweetheart will love and have Date Night at the Greater Cleveland Aquarium? Love is in the air AND underwater during Valentine’s Day THAT’S A-MORAY weekend, February 11-14, 2022 with extended “date night” hours on Friday and Saturday and Valentine’s Day activities all weekend long for the whole family.
Greater Cleveland Aquarium Valentine’s Day Weekend Activities
There will be a family-friendly, romance-themed “I Spy” challenge, animal courtship facts, oversized Valentine’s Day cards and a little mood music in the galleries all weekend.
“Bring a date, a friend or your family,” says General Manager Stephanie White. “This is a chance to escape the February chill and learn about animals you adore with people you love.” I agree! The Greater Cleveland Aquarium is the perfect spot to get away for a few hours inside where it is warm, while catching up with some truly amazing aquatic and other animals!

Children can also participate in a free, online Valentine’s Day Box Turtle Painting Enrichment Art Party (Monday, February 14, 9:15am) from home. Aquarist Bethany H. will kick off the virtual offering by explaining how painting serves as an enrichment activity for a Greater Cleveland Aquarium outreach animal. Artist At Heart’s Denyse Carbonell will follow up that Q&A session by giving children step-by-step instructions for creating their own ode to this artistic outreach box turtle using crayons, markers or paints.
