It’s that lovely time of year, and Lake Forest College has you covered in terms of where, how, and with whom to spend your Valentine’s Day.

To start the day off for all you lovebirds, explore Chicago’s must-see sites with free admission using your Lake Forest College Student ID. Students are able to visit The Art Institute of Chicago and view famous artworks of different eras, or visit the Shedd Aquarium and explore the waters of the world. Nothing is better than spending the day touring sights and grabbing something to eat in the city.
In the center of Chicago, Millennium Park, one of the top most visited sites, is the perfect way to spend time with your significant other. If you enjoy the outdoors, the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink is open all day to the public with an admission of $12. Grab a coffee and plan a day in Chicago with your special someone!
However, for those who curse the day of love, plan a day with a group of friends to explore the city of Chicago. Valentine’s Day is not necessarily limited to celebrating love for one person, but can be celebrated for a love of anyone who you enjoy having in your life.
Lake Forest College has the pleasure of allowing students easy access to the city, as well as events happening on and off campus. Students may choose to celebrate with friends and family, with activities such as, but certainly not limited to, grabbing lunch at various venues all over the city, shopping, sight-seeing or a movie. Take a day to recognize the people in your life who you care about, and treat them to a day full of fun activities.

Whether as a couple or with a group of friends, the best way to end the perfect Valentine’s Day would be the Winter Formal at the Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago, hosted by Lake Forest College’s United Black Association and Student Government. Students may purchase one ticket, as well as a guest ticket, for $10 each. This includes transportation to and from the venue. Invite a group of your favorite people for a night of dancing, delicious appetizers, and alcoholic beverages (for those with a government issued ID).
