Date nights can be stressful to plan. You might feel you’ve already done everything exciting around you. However, there’s always something new to experience in the Merrimack Valley. This weekend, make a plan with your partner to unplug from technology, get out of the house, and try something new. Here’s the top 5 date night ideas when you’re in the Merrimack Valley.
For the Cultured Couple…
Athenian Corner Restaurant
207 Market St, Lowell, MA 01852
Going to dinner just got a lot more exciting! If a night on the town is your pleasure, the Athenian Corner offers live entertainment on the weekend. Dance the night away to the Greek and Middle Eastern music of the Athenian Corner Ensemble. As you watch the enchanting belly dancers, dine on mouth-watering, authentic Greek food. From shish-ke-bab to stuffed grape leaves to roasted leg of lamb, the food is as incredible as the entertainment.
For the Music-Loving Couple…
Lowell Memorial Auditorium
50 East Merrimack St, Lowell, MA
If you and your date love music, you’re in luck! The Lowell Memorial Auditorium is one of the most versatile Performing Arts Centers in New England. Unlike some theaters, they don’t limit themselves to just one genre of music. In its nearly 100 year history, the Lowell Memorial Auditorium stage has been graced by Broadway stars, classical orchestras, and rock icons. This means you’re sure to find a show that will suit both your tastes.
For the Kids at Heart Couple…
Wamesit Lanes Family Entertainment Center
434 Main St, Tewksbury, MA
You’re never too old to play games and have fun, especially on date night! That’s why you need to hit the Wamesit Lanes Family Entertainment Center. You’ll have a blast challenging each other in the arcade, or perhaps winning each other prizes. Better yet, team up and work together to take on another couple in a friendly bowling competition. When you’re done playing, you can sit at the bar with some cocktails or dine on American cuisine next to the fireplace in the restaurant.
For the Art-Loving Couple…
deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum
51 Sandy Pond Rd, Lincoln, MA
Some couples bond over a love of the arts, which is why the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum is ideal for a date. You could spend so much time strolling along the beautiful grounds, checking out the thought-provoking sculptures. Or you could go inside the museum itself to explore the exhibits together, discussing your favorite artists and pieces and the meanings behind them.
For the Couple in Need of Some TLC…
Chateau Merrimack Resort & Spa
160 Pawtucket Blvd. Tyngsboro, MA
As a couple, you deserve some time to relax and rejuvenate, so book yourselves a getaway at Chateau Merrimack Resort & Spa. Stay in a luxurious room or suite together. Head down to the Pino Mediterranean Steakhouse for a romantic and aromatic dinner along with a bottle of wine. Book a couple’s massage or melt your worries away in the sauna. For a lavish date night or even full weekend getaway, nothing can beat this retreat.
