Love is in the air – and so is Valentine’s and Galentine’s Day fun! Whether you’re planning a romantic evening or a get-together with your best friends, Janesville has everything you need for the sweetest Valentine’s or Galentine’s Day celebration.

Dinner at a Local Restaurant

Sit down to a romantic or intimate dinner at local favorites like Genisa Wine Bar, Cozy Inn, drafthouse, Milwaukee Grill, or Prime Quarter Steak House.

A Relaxing Spa Day

Relax and unwind together at one of Janesville’s spas! Sit in Beyond Salt Spa’s Himalayan Salt Cave on a heated reclining chair. Book a ‘Couples Journey’ spa package at Bellasazi Salon & Spa, complete with a couple’s massage, back smoothing treatments, and pedicures. Try customized facials for your skin type at A Glo Spa & Salon Co. Enjoy relaxing soaks and exfoliating scrubs with manicures at Zoi’A Spa & Salon.

Chocolates at The Sugar Exchange

For a chocolate fix this Valentine’s Day, a stop at The Sugar Exchange is a must! This downtown candy shop has a Chocolate Bar Wall, an entire display case of chocolate truffles, and even homemade fudge, which is as creamy and dreamy as it gets.

A Sunset Walk on the Trails

Get outdoors and soak up the natural beauty of Janesville with a rejuvenating winter hike. Just before sunset, head out to walk the Ice Age Trail, Rotary Botanical Gardens, or Rock River Heritage Park not too far out of town.
