Whether you’re celebrating a certain love-themed holiday or you’re just looking for a reason to hit the town with your partner, Park City and Deer Valley have some of the best date night offerings around!

With incredible bars and restaurants, an ample nightlife scene, and premium outdoor recreation, there’s a little something for everyone.

Here are some of the best date night ideas in Park City and Deer Valley.

For the Adventurous Couple

Earn your turns with some uphill skiing at Park City Mountain. After hours, between 6:00 PM and 8:30 AM, you can travel uphill on Homerun. Also known as ‘skinning,’ this is a popular activity made for adrenaline junkies or people who love trying new things off the beaten path. Imagine the rush you can get from shuffling up the mountain under the cover of a blanket of stars, and then carving back down as the sun begins to peek over the horizon. It’s athletic, fun, and romantic! Take things to a new level by planning your trip around the full moon and enjoy the beautiful reflection of the snow lighting your way.

Skiing isn’t just a hobby in Park City and Deer Valley, it’s a lifestyle. Here are a few more posts about skiing that you might enjoy:

For Those Who Prefer a Cozy Approach to the Outdoors

If you read our holiday traditions blog, you probably recall the mention of the sleigh rides at Jordanelle State Park. Magical for the whole family, sleigh rides in Park City take on a new meaning when it’s for a date night. Whether you’re enjoying the horse-drawn sleigh ride from Soldiers Hollow, or the Sleigh and Dine package from Snowed Inn Sleigh Company, this is a great way to enjoy some fresh air and cuddle up to your loved one.

Experience a Fairy Tale Ending At Ice Castles

This incredible winter phenomenon is another activity that could work for the family or for a fun date night. With slides, tunnels, caves and archways all lit from within, Ice Castles is a magical experience for all ages. You can also enjoy sleigh rides and ice sculptures, and, if you’re planning something really romantic, the Arctic Cove is the perfect hidden alcove within the ice castle. (Many special occasions and even marriage proposals have happened here!)

Tip: Make a Reservation

Many of Park City and Deer Valley’s best restaurants fill up weeks or sometimes months in advance. To avoid disappointment, make sure you reserve your evening in advance. But if you are looking for a more spontaneous date night, there are a few first-come, first-serve bars that we would recommend. Blind Dog, Firewood, and Riverhorse are all solid options. If you’re looking for spectacularly extravagant cocktails, try the Palomino Bar, it’s one of our favorite date night cocktail spots.

Hold Hands and Go Ice Skating

If Hallmark Channel films have taught us anything, it’s that ice skating is a super romantic activity. Oftentimes, the simplest dates turn out to be the best ones–and ice skating fits the bill perfectly. Lace-up your skates and head out to any one of the numerous skating rinks around Park City. If you’re looking for indoor skating, Park City Ice Arena and Sports Complex is the place to go. From indoor ice rinks like the Park City Ice Arena and Sports Complex to beautiful outdoor rinks like the Resort Center Ice Skating Rink, you are sure to find a place to skate with the perfect ambiance for a romantic date night.

Indulge in a Couples Spa Treatment

The St. Regis Deer Valley has one of the most impressive spas in the area. If you’re looking for a truly luxurious and opulent experience, book a Massage for Two at the Remède Spa. The spa also features a soothing water feature, relaxation pools, yoga rooms, and more–everything you need to unwind with your love. Make it a full day of pampering and end things with a reservation at one of the hotel’s premium restaurants. From French Cuisine to Italian, and American fare, there’s something to satisfy any post-massage craving.

Try Something Completely Different

Learning a new skill with the person you love can be a magical bonding experience. That’s why we have to recommend something like glass blowing at Red Flower Studios. Make your own glass bowls, ornaments, and more. They even offer a culinary event if you’re looking for something extra special. If you are on the fence about glass blowing, just read any of the numerous customer reviews that say, “Best date night ever!” We’re convinced.

For the Ultimate Sports Fan

Ok, hear us out, romantic date nights and watching the big game don’t often go hand in hand, but we are equal opportunists here at CFH and recognize that a love for sport can be for anyone! Whether you head to Salt Lake City to catch a Utah Hockey Club home game or you prefer to cheer on the Utah Jazz, there’s always a live game to enjoy nearby.
