Local Experiences to Celebrate Valentine’s Day

---

​Happy Valentine’s Day, Terre Haute! Love is in the air and so are unique date ideas. If you’re looking for something a little different than dinner, try out one of these experiences to delight in with your Valentine.

Pottery

​Did you know Terre Haute offers pottery classes? Deming Park Pottery has a variety of classes that anyone can attend, even couples. Embarking on a pottery making date will give you a meaningful outing and something to take home!

But maybe you don’t want to make the pottery, you just want to paint it! At Shewey’s Paint Your Own Pottery at Haute City Center, couples can pick out a piece of pottery and paint it however they please. It can be fun painting something for one another or creating matching items such as mugs, plates or vases. 

Dancing

​The Dance Studio offers an array of classes for people to try. Couples can take ballroom dance lessons, wedding dance lessons or even try a group lesson with some friends. Learning a new skill will make sure your Valentine’s Day is meaningful and memorable. 

Explore

Who doesn’t love cute and fuzzy animals? The White Violet Center for Eco-Justice at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College is hosting private farm tours. During this individualized tour, people are able to see the alpacas up close and learn about how the farm operates. How cute! Another way to explore Terre Haute is by simply doing that! You don’t have to plan ahead; simply walking around downtown Terre Haute can introduce you to restaurants, shops and museums you didn’t know were there. Discovering Terre Haute with someone you love will create a new experience for you to treasure. 

Cooking

Cooking classes are always fun and can now be right in your home! You and your partner are guaranteed to have a good time while making sourdough bread in a virtual workshop hosted by the White Violet Center on February 11th. Participants will get to learn something new and have something delicious to eat!

Clabber Girl, located in downtown Terre Haute, has a full array of recipes that anyone can try! Cooking lessons can be done right at home with nothing but a recipe and the right ingredients. We suggest having you and your Valentine cook something new so that you can bond and give your tastebuds something new to try.
