Nine Unique Winnipeg Valentine's Date Ideas
Valentine's Day is upon us, and if you're like most Winnipeggers, you're a last minute planner. That means you might be scrambling for a good Winnipeg Valentine's Day date idea.
If you’re racking your brains to come up with a nice Valentine’s Day date, Rumor's Comedy Club has you covered. In this article we'll share some unique Winnipeg Valentine's Day date ideas to help you keep the home fires burning.
Nine unique Winnipeg Valentine’s Day date ideas
Forget dinner and a movie. Here are nine unique Valentine’s Day date ideas in Winnipeg to keep your better half guessing.
Couples photos. Celebrate another year with your one-and-only with a cute couples photo shoot. Winnipeg has tons of great photographers and a plethora of photogenic landmarks for your session. We recommend doing your shit during the day to take advantage of that natural light.
Some locations worth considering are The Forks, The Exchange District, and the Legislative Building. All of these locations are free to use and have lots of interesting nooks and crannies for unique snapshots.
Go on a scavenger hunt. You can make one up from scratch if you like using clues and landmarks from your relationship history, like the location of your first day and the location of your first kiss. Why not throw in the location of your first fight?
If you don't have the time to make up an entire scavenger hunt, you can purchase an online scavenger hunt mystery to solve together. Some are more like escape rooms that you solve at home, while others are more like scavenger hunts that include driving to certain locations.
Charcuterie with your cutie. Grab yourselves some top end meats, breads, and cheeses from your favorite local deli, and do yourself up a nice charcuterie board. Add in your favorite wine and some sensual music and lighting, and you've got yourself a simple, but romantic Valentine's Day date.
Brunch. Everybody loves brunch, so why not take your special someone to a nice brunch spot on Valentine's Day? Conversely, you can have brunch at home, just make sure to pick up all the food you'll need the night before. And don't forget the fixings for mimosas.
Go for a skate. One of the great things about Winnipeg’s frigid winters is that there are infinite places to go for a romantic hand-in-hand skate. Bring along a thermos of hot chocolate for extra brownie points.
Do an escape room. If people are always telling you and your partner to “get a room”, you can take their advice and book yourself an escape room. Generally speaking, escape rooms are meant for medium-sized groups, but Killer Noob Escapes’ Buried Alive room is designed for two.
Spend the day at the spa. Have a relaxing spa day with your love at Thermea Nordik Spa. With wet and dry saunas, a hot tub, a cold tub, and various relaxation stations, you’ll easily fill your day at Thermea. You can also book yourself in for a massage and grab a bite to eat in the restaurant.
Stop and smell the flowers at The Leaf. Open year-round, The Leaf contains four distinct biomes housing lush plant life and fluttering friends. Walk arm-in-arm with your valentine through the tropical biome featuring flora and fauna found only in the most tropical climates, before heading to the Mediterranean biome which plays home to plant life from Italy, Greece, South Africa, and California. The Babs Asper Display House is a showcase for breath-taking floral arrangements, properly preparing you for the Shirley Richardson Butterfly Garden, which plays home to a variety of butterfly species from across the globe.
Have a thrift store date. Head to your neighborhood thrift store and check out all the wild stuff that people don’t want anymore. Then buy each other a Valentine’s Day gift.
