So without further ado, here are 10 of the best things to do in and around Vancouver this weekend (February 10-12).

If the way to one’s heart is through their stomach – an elaborate five-course meal paired with specialty cocktails just might do the trick. ‘The Love Voyage’ is pretty much the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for the foodie and travel enthusiast, as guests are wined, dined, and whisked away to five “cities of love” across the globe via an immersive experience.
Tickets are available for $129 for dinner on February 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th at 6 pm.
When: Saturday, February 11th and Sunday, February 12th
Where: 120 West Hastings
Cost: $129 ($119 for non-alcoholic pairings)
Hit up a karaoke bar
When the weekend rolls around and a mere dance floor doesn’t cut it, karaoke always takes the night to the next level. From Numbers Cabaret on Davie to long-standing Funky Winkerbeans, here are 8 great spots to check out.

Snow Tubing at Mt. Seymour
Tubing (or tobogganing) is certainly a rare opportunity for Vancouverites. Luckily, you can enjoy both on dedicated hills at Mt. Seymour. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a family-friendly day trip, or as a way to unwind after a day on the actual slopes. Just be sure to check the weather forecast on the hill before you go!
When: Open throughout February
Where: 1700 Mt Seymour Road, North Vancouver
Cost: $10+
Grab bottomless brunch
Thankfully, ARC Restaurant & Bar offers bottomless weekend brunch, which definitely makes for a great start, middle, or end to the weekend, no matter the occasion – be it a date, a catch-up session, or a solo treat.
Where: 900 Canada Place Way
Enjoy some covered patios
Whether it’s just drizzly or full-out storming, there are (thankfully) plenty of covered patios in Vancouver to choose from. Why not make the most of them and sip on a couple of happy hour bevies this weekend?

Where: 800 Robson Street
Cost: $5 for skate rentals
Vancouver Giants
There’s another Giants’ home game this Saturday, February 11th, where the team will face off against the Royals between 7:30 pm and 9 pm. Tickets start at just over $20 a pop at the Langley Events Centre.
