Activities

BYU Planetarium

Too cold to stargaze outside? No problem. Enjoy the view of the stars from BYU’s planetarium, while learning about the sky in cushy, reclining seats. Sounds cozy doesn’t it? Wink, wink.

Dollar Theater Movies

Hitting a dollar movie is cheap, fun, and romantic. Not to mention easy on the wallet. Didn't get a chance to see a movie that came out awhile ago? No problem, check and see if it is in the dollar theater yet!

Color Me Mine

Color Me Mine makes for a creative, unique, and fun dating experience for dating, engaged, or married couples. Not only that, but you can take home your work of art and remember a wonderful night for years to come! 

Nickel Arcade

Bring out the kid in each of you as you head over to a nickel arcade. Nickel arcades provide hours of inexpensive fun, and depending on the couple may bring out a little competitive edge. Get a blast from the past with old arcade games you haven't played in years and win prizes with tickets you can keep as souvenirs. 

Spas and Couples Massages

Nothing says romance and relaxation quite like a couples massage. Unwind, and enjoy a blissful time together as the kinks get worked out.

Skate the night away at Seven Peaks Ice Skating Rink. Public skating hours start at 7 PM most nights. Ice skating makes for a perfect romantic date night as you skate hand in hand.
