• Legends Bistro Valentine’s Dinner — upscale family dinner in Chilliwack.

• Cookies Grill Valentine’s Buffet — a hearty buffet for families or groups.

• Fortitude Wine Bar Valentine’s Dinner — two-night culinary experience.

While many restaurants often book up early, reservations are worth pursuing for a memorable meal close to home.

Local Activity Ideas & Valentine Fun

Even if there isn’t a structured event, here are some low-key, family-friendly ways to celebrate:

• Ice skating and outdoor fun — put on skates at a local rink or explore parks together (great for the whole crew).

• Dine at familiar family spots — classic restaurants like Red Robin or Boston Pizza tend to offer heart-shaped pizzas and fun Valentine’s menus (especially popular with kids).

• Family walks and nature outings — pack a picnic, bring treats, and enjoy a scenic trail or park together.

 
Bonus: Family Day Weekend Around the Valley

Since Valentine’s Day falls just before BC Family Day Weekend, many communities have extra activities happening around the same time:

• Free public skating and swim events in Chilliwack — perfect for a day out with kids.

• Abbotsford/Chilliwack recreation centre events — Family Day fun fest with swimming, skating, basketball and more.

• Mission roaming & floral fun — local florists and shops in Mission often have Valentine-inspired bouquets and activities to explore.

Tips for Planning Your Valentine’s Weekend

• Plan ahead: Many Valentine’s dinners and special events sell out early — booking ahead can save stress.

• Bundle Family Day fun: Valentine’s Day + Family Day weekend means you can turn it into a full weekend getaway with kids or friends.

• Keep it simple: A themed family dinner at home plus a local event or outdoor adventure can be just as memorable as a big night out.
