For the Fun-Seekers
Some couples are happy to enjoy a quiet, romantic meal together and others need to be out doing something together.
At Wamesit Lanes in Tewksbury, MA, couples can enjoy a few strings of bowling with 36 lanes of luxury Candlepin and Ten Pin bowling, relive some of their childhood memories in the arcade, or enjoy a bite to eat in the bar.
In addition to bowling and gaming, Wamesit offers an amazing escape room experience called Escapology where you and your partner can work together to solve riddles and find clues to get out of five uniquely themed rooms including a deadly virus outbreak, solving a mystery with Scooby-Doo, or a family murder!
For the Outdoorsy Couple
Do you and your better half enjoy getting outdoors to hike, bike, or just take a stroll?
Merrimack Valley has many options to get out into nature and enjoy each other’s company. Three of our favorite places to do this include Walden Pond State Reservation in Concord, Massachusetts, Concord River Greenway Park in Lowell, Massachusetts, and Lowell Heritage State Park also in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Each of these locations includes wonderful areas to walk, bike, hike, or run but also a peek into the robust historical areas that are all around us in the Merrimack Valley.
For the Couple Who Likes To Shop
If you enjoy American-made and responsibly sourced products, the Crafty Yankee Shop in Lexington, Massachusetts is a great destination for unique jewelry, special occasion gifts and table art. Couples who are decorating their first apartment or dream home can find some one-of-a-kind pieces that will be a part of their home’s decor for years to come.
For Those Who Need a Night Away
Sometimes couples need a night (or two) away to recharge and reconnect. The North Bridge Inn Bed and Breakfast in Concord, MA is the perfect place to escape from the stresses of everyday life whether that’s work, the kids, or just life in general.
The North Bridge B&B is located just off Monument Square in downtown Concord and offers six elegant, spacious and individually appointed suites. Take time to rest, shop, dine or explore the local history as a part of your night away.
