Foothills Date Night Ideas

By Alima Blackwell, Raven's Nest Photography January 8, 2025

My husband and I have been together for 21 years. We used to go out a lot more, but when we became parents, scheduling date nights and babysitters got a lot harder. We don’t get many date nights in these days, but I always try to have an idea on-hand, just in case! Our favorite date nights over the years have been yoga and happy hour and another night, we did a woodburning & wine class in town. 

And sometimes evening dates don’t work, so we try to do lunch dates while our kiddo is in school. These usually just involve eating lunch at a favorite restaurant or going for a hike with our dog.


Bowling at Wild Game

They also have line dancing classes here on Mondays from 6:30-8pm & Wednesdays from 11:30a-1pm. Email linedanceevergreen@gmail.com for info on the classes.


Take a Class

Take a woodburning class by White Rabbit Wood Creations or sign up for an art class at CAE or Evergreen Art School.

Paint a pottery piece at Go Paint! We love painting things that we can use in the kitchen (like plates & mugs).

Ice Skating at Evergreen Lake

The lake is usually open until 7pm for ice skating, but is, of course, weather-dependent. Always call the skate hotline to check for closures.

Snowshoe & Fondue

Aspen Peak Cellars holds lots of fun events, but this one has been on my radar for a while now.
