Instead of sending flowers this Valentine’s Day, Como Park Zoo and Conservatory suggests dining among them instead.
Reservations are open through Jan. 23 for Como’s popular Valentine’s Day dinners in St. Paul.
From Feb. 13-15, sweethearts can dine after hours and by candlelight in the indoor gardens at the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory.
For $210 per couple, diners will receive a gourmet dinner (with two glasses of wine or beer per person) while sitting in the warmth and humidity, listening to string musicians and lingering among the plants and flowers in the Sunken Garden, the North Garden or the Palm Dome.
Before or after the meals, couples can stroll through the Tropical Encounters exhibit while sipping wine.
Seating is limited and advance reservations are required; these dinners do usually sell out.
