Romantic Flight Above the City

Step up your date night this year for Valentine's Day as you soar through the sky in a private helicopter with the person you love. Mi flight aviation will make your valentine's day one to remember as you and your sweetheart fly over downtown grand rapids for a spectacular birds-eye view of the city covered in snow and the twinkle of the Christmas lights. You'll see everything from the Rosa Parks skating rink, to an eye-level view of the city skyline and the frozen river through the city. All flights take place out of the Sparta Airport.

Free Fishing Weekend

if you think your special someone was quite the catch, you may want to try your hand at it again. No, not love, fishing! February 13 and 14 is one of two free fishing weekends in Michigan! All fishing licenses are waived on these days and a recreation passport is not required for entry into state parks and boating access sites.

Luminary-Lit Romantic Strolls at GR Parks

If you’d rather just take a romantic walk with your sweetie or the whole family, you can experience the magic of a luminary-lit wintry stroll at one of three city parks: Huff Park, Garfield Park Nature Reserve, or Roosevelt Park. These three parks will be set up for three nights: February 12, 13, and 14 from 6-9 p.m. in accordance with government guidelines for covid-19, the event will be contact-free, and all groups will be required to wear masks when near other groups.

World of Winter | Valent-ICE

It’s another great weekend for the World of Winter Fest in Grand Rapids. Valent-ICE, one of many attractions during the 2021 World of Winter Festival, showcases over 80 ice sculptures all throughout downtown Grand Rapids. You can even join a guided ice sculpture walking tour to learn the icy backstories of each sculpture or do a self-guided tour using the ice sculpture map. It’s just one of the many outdoor events held during the fest. Find more at worldofwintergr.com.
