Just make sure you check the weather and bundle up for your journey.

3. PLAY BOARD GAMES

4. GO BOWLING


Chances are you and your partner haven’t been bowling for a while. Go give it a shot at Sackville Superbowl (300 Sackville Drive). Keep score or have a good laugh watching countless balls roll down the gutter — we promise you’ll have a ball.

5. BOOK AN ESCAPE ROOM

 

Looking for a unique experience? Try an escape room with your soulmate. Visit Escape Artists (475 Sackville Drive) for a real-life puzzle adventure where you solve challenges, decrypt ciphers, and generally laugh a lot. If your partner loves a good riddle, they’ll love an escape room.

 

6. VISIT THE HOLIDAY LIGHTS

 

Is there a more perfect date night than a romantic stroll through a snowy park filled with twinkling lights? Well, your picture-perfect date is right down the street. Head to Light Up the Park, where the trees surrounding Acadia Park (650 Sackville Drive) will be lit with more than 4,000 white lights for the holiday season, thanks to the generous sponsorship of Sackville businesses.

 

7. GO ICE SKATING

 

Ice skating is tougher than it looks. Few people would consider themselves pros, but that’s what makes it a fun date idea. You can bond over how clumsy you both may be and help each other up when you fall. Attend an open skate at Sackville Sports Stadium (409 Glendale Drive) or Sackville Arena (91 First Lake Drive) - you’ll definitely have a blast (and a good laugh).

 

8. CATCH A SHOW

The aroma and unforgettable taste of buttery theatre popcorn await! Celebrate the holidays with new releases and festive favourites accompanied by your special someone in theatres at Cineplex Cinemas Lower Sackville (760 Sackville Drive). Grab some tokens after the show — you’re never too old to enjoy the arcade.
