Whether it's a spa treatment or fun activities for the whole family, Edmonton has many things to help warm up those cold winter nights.

Valentine's Day is here again and the folks in Edmonton, Alberta have organized some great events, ideas and hotel deals.

For the Singles

Who would have thought, but the Valley Zoo is the place to be if you're single and travelling to Edmonton. Eight Minute Date will be hosting an evening of speed dating within the confines of the zoo. Hopefuls will meet a number of potential dates while sipping coffee and nibbling dessert. It's educational, too: guests will learn about animal romance and take home a few tips.

February 14 - 15, 2008 from 7:00pm - 11:00pm

Ages: 18+
