12 Valentine's Date Night Ideas in San Diego...Where Kids Can Tag Along (Feb 2022)
Don’t have a sitter, don’t worry…bring the kids on your date night!
VALENTINE'S DATE NIGHT IN SAN DIEGO WHERE YOU CAN BRING THE KIDS
Bring the kids along on your modified romantic evening out. I'm sure they'll love the chance to stay up and stay out a little later. And they'll feel so loved to be included on some special family together time.
Both parents and kids alike will certainly enjoy twinkling lights, flying trapeze, horse-carriage rides or s'mores on the beach! But if you want to stay in, order up a special heart-shaped pizza and have a family game night. Either way, it will be a night to remember!
psst...you don't have to go out ON Valentine's Day. These fun places are available on other nights too so you can celebrate your love all month long.

🏀 HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS
Feb. 20 at 1pm & 6pm
Your little sports fans will be mesmerized by all the tricks, spins and crazy shots these Harlem Globetrotters will make. My parents used to take me to these games when I was little, and I still remember how much these games are to watch, even for a non-sports fanatic parent. ;) One year I did the Magic Pass event, where I got to meet them, throw some shots with them pre-game and learn their tricks!

🎳 BOWLING
Put the bumpers up (for the kids of course ;) and throw some strikes at your local bowling alley. They're usually open late and most have a cafe or diner on-site too. This is the perfect family date night outing.
