Give Cupid a helping hand with a memorable Valentine’s Day getaway to Orlando, featuring romance‑friendly attractions, exclusive dining specials, and more (The Wheel at ICON Park® pictured).
Creating an unforgettable Valentine’s Day goes beyond candy and flowers. Orlando offers countless ways to spark romance, and local businesses have prioritized guest safety with enhanced health protocols, including mask mandates, social‑distancing measures, reduced capacity limits, and a wide array of al‑fresco, takeout, and delivery options at restaurants. With these precautions in place, you and your partner can celebrate confidently.
The downtown dining, shopping, and entertainment district is home to several top restaurants perfect for a romantic dinner. Highlights include Blake Shelton’s all‑new Ole Red, Uncle Julio’s, Tapa Toro Tapas Bar & Paella Pit, Tin Roof, and Yard House, among others.
Swan Boat Rides at Lake Eola Park
Ever seen a couple glide across a lake in a movie or TV show and think, “I’d love to do that?” In Orlando, you can make that dream a reality. At Lake Eola in downtown, rent a two‑person paddleboat shaped like the park’s iconic swans and share a kiss near the fountain.
