We realize Valentine's Day is a romantic holiday aimed at adults (although we suspect your kids will be happy to help you polish off all of those chocolates). But if you'd like to celebrate with your children too, there are lots of ways to share the love this holiday.
We've rounded up some Valentine's Day events for New York City kids. Most skew young and are pretty sweet deals. A few are even free. So get ready to sing, dance and get creative with your little loves in honor of Valentine's Day 2013.
