From a first date with a new beau to a special night after decades of marriage, keeping dating interesting can be a little difficult. Luckily, the Mile-High City is full of possibilities, boasting a little something for everyone. Here’s how to make the most of your date night in Denver.
Hit a Renowned Restaurant
As a city fit for foodies, there’s always somewhere delicious to try in Denver. From the Parisian-inspired To The Wind to the pan-Asian Cherry Creek hot spot Departure, there’s no better city for adventurous dining. Want a drink after dining? Cocktail bars like Williams & Graham and Green Russell provide an experience you can’t miss.
Rent a Boat
Denver is a city known for outdoor excitement, and a little boating is a wonderful way to enjoy a beautiful day. With plenty of options – City Park, Washington Park, and the Aurora Reservoir all rent boats for a few hours of fun – an afternoon picnic and paddle can provide plenty of opportunity to bond.
Get Dessert
Who doesn’t love sugar? If you’d like to satisfy your sweet tooth, Denver is home to numerous destinations centered around your favorite meal. Check out the highly lauded boozy bread pudding at Crave, Baum Cakes at Glaze, or a little taste of everything with the three-course sampling menu at D Bar.
Visit the Butterflies
It may sound a little silly, but a good date can have both literal and metaphorical butterflies. At nearby Westminster’s Butterfly Pavilion, you can enjoy over 5,000 animals, including 1,600 butterflies, sea creatures, Rosie the tarantula, and more. Don’t miss the twice-daily butterfly releases at 12:30 pm and 3:30 pm!
Get Cooking
A cooking class is always a good way to pass the time, providing a hands-on activity that teaches teamwork, collaboration, and valuable skills. If you and your date want to try your hand at gourmet cooking (and gourmet eating, of course) The Seasoned Chef and Stir Cooking School can provide a night out perfect for any home chef.

Awesome experience with Sean our Game Master. Easily top tier escape room with very immersive experience. I prefer not being able to ask for clues, rather the GM providing them if we really got stuck, which kept us fully in the vibe.

So fun! This was my first escape room experience and my 12 yo daughter and I had the best time! We solved The Speakeasy with less than 3 minutes to spare. Lots of laughs and the rooms were decorated so well. We can’t wait to go back! (Worth mentioning the AC was perfect and the bathrooms were sparkling clean!) Our game master Aiden was so kind and helpful - she made our day!

We did the Egyptian Tomb and it was a super fun escape room, Bailey was our Game Master and was super helpful and really nice. I do a LOT of escape rooms so I can confidently say the puzzles were fun and just challenging enough, I loved the tactility of everything, and the theme was extremely well-executed. We got out with 18 and a half minutes to spare and apparently did really well on the hardest puzzle 😎

My kids (6 and 10) and I had a great time doing the Casino Heist room! It was challenging, and I'm sad to say we didn't make it, but we still had a ton of fun trying. Jake was friendly, thorough, and helpful with hints without giving anything away, all around a fantastic game-master!

Helen was great! We did the speakeasy room in a public group. I would definitely come back in a smaller group!

Finished both the Vampire Hunter and Casino Heist room. Very fun puzzles and the staff if very helpful. Vampire hunter is their newest room and I will say it's probably top 3 escape rooms I've done.

Ollie was awesome. We had a great time and the room was a really cool new design. A few small things to iron out for a new room, but super fun! We’ll definitely be back
