things to do in Albuquerque for Valentine’s Day 2025

Couple enjoying a meal at one of the most romantic restaurants in Albuquerque

Everyone is looking for things to do in Albuquerque for Valentine’s Day. And this year you have even more time to fit in something special. Valentine’s Day is on Friday, February 14th, so you also have Saturday and Sunday. Of course, the usual gifts–chocolate and flowers–are great, and dinner is nearly always in the plan.

How about taking in a really special event this year? Why not have dinner or a show someplace you’ve never been? You can expand your horizons with your someone special with museum exhibits, comedy open mic night, a walking tour in a part of town you’ve never explored, painting or dance workshops, a live concert, a brewery tours, or even board games. Whatever you enjoy or would like to learn about, it’s in Albuquerque!

See the long list of amazing things to do in Albuquerque for Valentine’s Day. For even more information about things to do in Albuquerque, see the Visit Albuquerque calendar of events, put in the date you’d like to do something fun, and see all of the possibilities!

spend the night at the Bottger Mansion of Old Town B&B

Even if you’re a local, pack your bag and get away from the dishes and chores to enjoy a stay at the Bottger Mansion of Old Town Bed & Breakfast. Pamper yourself with a night in one of our lovely guest rooms, and enjoy a fantastic breakfast with fruit, house-made sorbet and pastries, special juice blends, delicious entrees and great coffee or tea. We’re right in Old Town, with over 100 shops, galleries, museums and restaurants right outside our door.

do something special with your Valentine all year long!

We all perk up when we get to try something new. Don’t be afraid–dive right in! You can learn international folk dancing (no experience required!), or salsa. Try The Liars’ Game at Empire Board on each 2nd Monday or play new board games any time and make some new friends. Attend comedy open mic night, visit a special museum exhibit, take a walking tours (murals, art, historic, ghost or creepy), or go to a live concert. You’ll be glad you got out of your usual routine!
