Romantic date night ideas in Spokane Valley

Dinner and a movie is a classic date night for a reason. Tasty food? Sign us up. Relaxing together? Also great. The only problem? It can get a bit repetitive and boring. Dates should be fun, unique and provide opportunities for bonding and playfulness. Whether it’s a more creative dinner spot or an evening of adrenaline pumping activities, here are some playful date night ideas in Spokane Valley. 

 

Date night ideas in Spokane

 

1. Enjoy a fondue dinner at Melting Pot

If you’re choosing dinner for your date night in Spokane, make it a romantic and creative one. It’s so fun to choose your fondue at Melting Pot and share in enjoying an interactive meal together. The best part? Every Thursday at Melting Pot, they offer a “Thursdate” special, and you can enjoy a four-course dinner for two (including a decadent Sparkling Chocolate Fondue for dessert) and they set the mood with rose petals and candles on your table. If this is your first date, it definitely won’t be your last.

 

2. Head to the Spokane comedy club for some laughs

Laughing together as a couple releases feel-good endorphins and helps you bond with your (potential) partner. Enter Spokane Comedy Club. Choose a favorite comedian you think you’d enjoy together, attend a “comedy for a cause” night or maybe even sign up for open mic night. Who knows? Maybe one of you is a budding amateur comedian. Whatever you choose, you’re in for a night of laughs, which is the perfect way to spend some time together after a long week. 

 

3. Embrace your inner child at Flatstick Pub for a fun evening of minigolf

We all have a mini golf story. Like the time you played with your parents and got 23 on a par 4. Or the time you hid inside the windmill at the themed mini putt course because you were losing so badly. Not only will you have a blast with your date, reminiscing about your childhood mini putt stories, you’ll also have a great time competing to see whose mini golf skills have held up since childhood. Flatstick Pub also has trivia and bingo nights. So you can mix up your date nights by having two activities in one. 

 

4. Walk through Manito Park’s Japanese garden for a romantic and scenic stroll

If what you really need as a couple is tranquility and some R&R, Manito Park’s Japanese garden is the definition of soothing. Sometimes what couples really need is to slow down, enjoy a walk and chat and connect near the soothing sounds of a waterfall, scenic views of a pond and surrounded by stunning foliage. Nature time is so beneficial for mental health, so spending time together in nature can be a much-needed serotonin boost. Of course, sometimes what we need is a high-energy adrenaline-pumping evening together. And if that’s the case, you might be better suited to the next date night idea…

 

5. Jump the night away at Flying Squirrel trampoline park for a fun and unique date night in Spokane

Flying Squirrel is all about fun and healthy competition. Resolve that dispute over the best way to load the dishwasher—on the battle beam. Or see who can last the longest on the tightrope walk. Challenge each other to scale the indoor rock climbing wall. Or try one of Flying Squirrel’s other attractions (there are tons). Switching up your date night to include fun and playful activities like bouncing and physical challenges can help you grow together as a couple (while also having an absolute blast). Surprise your partner with tickets for an unforgettable date night that might just become a new tradition as a couple.
