5 Fun Valentine’s-Themed Things to Do with Your Family in Atlanta This February
February in Atlanta may be chilly (or warm - hey, it is Atlanta after all!), but it’s full of sweet family moments, Valentine’s fun, and memory-making opportunities. As an Atlanta family and motherhood photographer, I always encourage families to lean into seasonal experiences that bring everyone together — and February is perfect for just that.
Whether you’re looking for Valentine’s Day activities in Atlanta, cozy indoor outings, or a meaningful way to document this season of life, here are five family-friendly things to do in the Atlanta area in February that you won’t want to miss:
1. Valentine’s Events at the Georgia Aquarium
The Georgia Aquarium is a favorite for Atlanta families year-round, but February brings extra Valentine’s magic. From themed décor to special Valentine’s programming, this is a wonderful way to enjoy time together—especially with younger kids who love sea life.
This indoor activity is perfect for cold February days and makes for a fun, low-stress family outing. Pro tip: snap a few photos of your kids in front of the massive viewing windows—those candid moments are priceless.
2. Create Handmade Valentines at Home (or a Local Workshop)
Sometimes the most meaningful Valentine’s traditions happen at home. Set aside an afternoon for family Valentine crafts — think handmade cards, heart garlands, or decorating treat bags for friends and grandparents.
Many local libraries and Atlanta community centers also host Valentine’s craft workshops for kids in early February. These moments are perfect for slowing down and soaking in this stage of motherhood and childhood.
As a motherhood photographer in Atlanta, I always say: these quiet, in-between moments are worth remembering just as much as the big events.
3. Visit the Atlanta Botanical Garden in Winter
The Atlanta Botanical Garden is stunning even in winter, and February often features seasonal installations or early signs of spring. It’s a beautiful spot for a family stroll, letting kids explore nature while parents enjoy a peaceful reset.
February light can be soft and dreamy — perfect for photos if you’re snapping a few on your phone. If you’re craving a natural, romantic setting to celebrate love and family, this is a wonderful option.
4. Family Movie Night or Valentine’s Movie Event
Many Atlanta theaters host family-friendly Valentine’s movie nights or special screenings in February. Whether it’s a classic animated favorite or a cozy movie night at home with heart-shaped snacks, this is an easy way to connect as a family.
Set the scene with pajamas, popcorn, and cuddles — it’s these traditions that children remember most. And yes, they make the sweetest storytelling moments in photos later on.
