3.
Where/When: , 19910 Frederick Rd, Germantown. Friday, 7:15 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Why not beat the holiday crowds, and celebrate V-Day a few days early? As an added bonus, the Germantown branch of the Boys and Girls Club will play babysitter for only $25, providing your kids with games and a night of entertainment, while you and your valentine spend some much-needed time alone.
Pricing: $25.
