Date Night

Option 3: Active

There’s a lot to be said for breaking free of cliché date routines—dinner and a movie—and doing something sprightly, perhaps invigorating.

The Group Date:

Lyons Classic Pinball can’t help but to bring out the kid in you as you spend an afternoon playing classic games that date back to the 1960s. 339-A Main St., Lyons, lyonspinball.com

Team up with other couples at Bootstrap Brewing to take advantage of their open mic nights, trivia, and even euchre tournaments throughout the week. 6778 North 79th St., Niwot, bootstrapbrewing.com

Get the group together for glow in the dark bowling at Centennial Lanes. Let’s just say that no matter how your game may fair, this is one date you can’t strike out on. 110 E. 9th Ave., Longmont, centennial-lanes.com

Outdoorsy:

Get cozy on a chairlift when you strap on your boots and head to Eldora for a powder day with your sweetie. 2861 Eldora Ski Rd. #140, Nederland, eldora.com

Take turns belaying each other up the sandstone walls of Eldorado Canyon State Park. 9 Kneale Rd., Eldorado Springs, parks.state.co.us/eldoradocanyon

Ride along the Broomfield/Louisville Loop Trail. The 12-mile trip will take you past creeks, hills and fields before you choose to pause in old town Louisville for a bite. everytrail.com/broomfield-louisville-loop-trail
