2. Celebrate the grand opening of the Purrista Cafe
The grand opening of Erie's new Purrista Cafe, 30 W. Eighth St., is scheduled for Valentine's Day! From 11:15 to 1, you can enjoy a free cat cafe lounge visit, free coffee samples, and more. The cafe is also offering "first look" appointments Feb. 12 and 13!
3. Name a cockroach at the Erie Zoo
Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day, Single Awareness Day, or Just Another Day – however you like to celebrate, do it by naming a cockroach at your Erie Zoo! You have two species of cockroach to choose from when naming: Madagascar Hissing Cockroach ($5) or Caribbean Giant Cockroach ($15). Choose your preferred cockroach and name it after your bug-a-boo, bestie, intrusive ex, or perhaps that someone you just can't get rid of. All proceeds from this fundraiser benefit the animal care at your Erie Zoo. You'll get access to a private link to download your perfect Valentine's Day card to share. And if you name a Caribbean Giant Cockroach, the name you chose will be on display at the exhibit in the Children's Zoo Adventure Center for the 2022 season. Get more information and name your cockroach today!
4 . Surprise your kids with a Valentine's pizza
