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.

My coworkers and I decided to do some team building while we were in Denver for a conference. They were able to accommodate our rather large group with the pirate-themed room, and our Game Master Abby was fantastic. We escaped with time to spare, and everyone had a fantastic time—several were new to escape rooms altogether, and enjoyed it so much they went back to do another one later in the week!

We've done quite a few escape rooms and this one was well put together. The decorating effort in Vampire Slayer was quite good, and Brian was doing a fantastic job coordinating a few full rooms and a constantly buzzing door of new groups rapidly coming in. The clues are automatically given instead of asked for, but they didn't spoon feed them too us. It was only when we were clearly missing the mark. All components of the room worked and were fairly challenging but not impossible to solve. We also really appreciate that this one allows groups with strangers! It's perfect for couples that don't want to try it alone but can't get a group together. Thanks to Brian and Cole we had a great experience!

Absolutely loved! The theme was so cool (pirate themed) and the puzzles were so fun! I had some friends in town so there were 6/7 of us and there was enough for us to divine and conquer! Abby our host was so sweet and super helpful, will be back again!

Wyatt was an awesome game master. He gave us a fair chance at solving all the clues without giving us too many hints to spoil it. He was very kind and courteous. The entire staff was great and the room was super challenging and fun.

Our game master Celeste was amazing! She monitored our progress and made sure we didn't abandon clues when we were on the right path, but gave us plenty of space to explore and ponder. The room itself was well constructed with plenty of objects to fiddle with that meant nothing and plenty of fixed items for vibes. The puzzles were challenging without being overwhelming.

I've tried 3 of the 5 rooms, and so far they've all been fantastic! The puzzles are challenging but not unsolvable. Even the casino heist, which gave us the most trouble, was so fun and had some puzzles i hadn't seen in other escape rooms. I've had Wyatt as a game master twice and Austen once, and both did a fabulous job running the game!

Had a great time today, we did the speakeasy, it was very fun and the puzzles weren’t neither too difficult nor too easy which made the experience a lot better. Our game master Brian was great and helped us on the way whenever we got too carried away. Overall a great experience and would come back!
