Event Description
Want a romantic thing to do around Valentine’s Day in Seattle? Treat yourselves to a romantic walk through UW’s Botanic Gardens lit by luminaries.
It’s also educational! You and your loved one can learn about pollination, while you’re add it, and sip some warm beverages.
We suggest that, perhaps, you also add to the romance by also going out for a meal before or afterward:)
Here’s the official blurb from the event organizers:
Join us for a celebration of love at the Arboretum! Grab a loved one (or a few) and enjoy the romantic atmosphere of a luminary walk!
For the first time ever, we’re hosting a Valentine’s Day themed luminary walk through the park, inspired by our annual Winter Solstice event!
Enjoy a romantic stroll through the park, guided by the soft glow of pink luminaries, create your own Valentine’s cards to give to loved ones, learn about pollination from our own UWBG Education team, and warm up with some hot cocoa, cider, & tea in Wisteria Hall!
Make this a Valentine’s Day to remember!
Please note this is an 18+ only event
FAQs:

What about inclement weather? The walk will occur rain or shine. We ask that you check the weather forecast and dress accordingly if inclement weather is predicted. In cases of high winds, snow or impassable roadways, you will be notified in advance and the event will be rescheduled.
Is it lit? The pathways will have luminaries, but feel free to bring your own flashlight or lantern for additional visibility!

Can I bring my dog? Happy to have Fido – please keep them on leash, and make sure that they play nice with other pooches!
