Suggestions

• Hiking. Bundle up and get outside with your sweetie. We've got hiking and biking information here, but if you're new to hiking, we've got some beginner's suggestions too.
• Looking for something more like a nice stroll instead of a real hike? Check out the Jackson-Frazier Wetland, the Riverfront Commemorative Park, or our historic walking tours: Franklin Square, Downtown Corvallis, Atomic Ranches, the Avery Helm Historic District, or the College Hill West Historic District.
• Are you art lovers? We have a ton of public art you can tour around Corvallis. Check out our public art info, and don't miss the Corvallis Murals Scavenger Hunt or the Downtown Alley Art Walk.
• Of course, it's supposed to be cold and wet this Valentine's weekend, so maybe you need an indoor activity. How about catching a virtual show at the Majestic, or a having a virtual movie night with Darkside Cinema?
• Or you can plan a Valentine's staycation at one of our local hotels! Both the Comfort Suites and the Courtyard by Marriott have special rates for Valentine's Day.

Want to get your special someone a present or some flowers? We have a lot of great little gift shops around Benton County.
