While Valentine’s Day is often associated with romantic love, the holiday can be a great experience for families, too. Take time this Valentine’s Day to talk about love as a family, and the many ways we show we love to each other.
Here are five places where you can celebrate love as a family in the Baltimore area!

Valentine’s Day Candies
916 N. Charles St., Baltimore | 443-714-7516
Making and gifting candy on Valentine’s Day has been a tradition for more than 200 years. Now, you can make your own customized box of Valentine’s Day candies for your family members. For $55, Schola will have all the supplies you need to wrap up a delicious box of chocolatey treats to surprise your kids and loved ones! To make a kid-friendly box, skip the rum and bourbon flavors in favor of white and dark chocolate, bacon pecan pralines and chocolate sour cream swirl fudge. This Valentine’s workshop starts at 6 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m. Teens can work with adults, but the course is not recommended for teens alone. Space is limited.
