All too often, in relationships, we can get in the habit of choosing routine and comfort over doing something new and exciting. Whether it be staying in and watching a movie or going to the same restaurant you’ve been to over and over again. As much as there’s value in those things, it can be fun to branch out and go on a cute date with your boo and experience something new together! Toronto has plenty of date-worthy spots and activities to indulge in aside from the classic dinner date routine. If you’re looking to spice up your date life, read on.
Here’s Where To go on Your next Date In Toronto
Indulge In A Cooking Class
Learn how to cook something new together by indulging in a cooking class guided by a world-class chef! There are plenty of different cooking classes to choose from in Toronto, all of which look equally delicious.
Play A Game Of Mini Putt
Take a break from the seriousness of life with a game of mini putt at Par-Tee Putt in Toronto! It has a date-night special, including golf and pizza every Monday. It also has Par-Tee Putt After Dark every Friday and Saturday night, which has more of a party vibe if that’s what you’re into.
Visit The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO)
Experiencing art together can be such a romantic experience. At the AGO, you can walk around, chat, and admire and learn about the current exhibits together. If you enjoy your time, you can make it a regular occurrence as the galleries are ever-changing, and there’s always something new to see. The gallery is open on Fridays until 9, so you could even go after dinner, too!
Watch A Screening At Revue Cinema
Switch up the classic movie theatre date by spending your next movie night at Revue Cinema! The cinema was built in late 1911 and is a designated heritage site, being Toronto’s oldest standing movie theatre still in use. You’ll feel like you’re going back in time for an evening while watching current and/or classic cinema on the big screen.
Create Your Own Candles Together At Kandl-Artistique
Picture this: You create a candle with your boo from scratch, then you get to go home and light it, spending the rest of your romantic evening in, with your new favourite aroma filling the space. At Kandl-Artistique, you can go on a sensory experience to create your very own candle with a custom blending of 125 personalized scent possibilities, a custom vessel and a personalized label.
Get Pampered At Elmwood Spa
We could all use a bit of pampering from time to time. And there’s nothing more romantic than getting pampered with your loved one! Elmwood Spa has a variety of Couples Spa Packages at different price points with varying offerings. We personally think the Exotic Escape For Two sounds extra amazing, including water therapy, a couples Swedish massage, and a 3-course dinner for two for $472. It’s definitely more of a pricey date option, but if it’s in your budget, indulge away!
Paint & Sip At Pinot’s Palette
Get artsy with your boo by painting and sipping at Pinot’s Palette! You can choose any of its painting classes, including one of its date night paintings, for an evening filled with paint, wine, and romance.
Visit A Seasonal Farm
Throughout the different seasons, there are plenty of date-worthy activities at local farms in and near Toronto. Going apple picking, visiting a pumpkin patch, picking flowers, and so on. You get to spend quality time together while enjoying the current nature of the season.

8 dates to go on before summer ends!
Go To The Drive-In
Why stay in and watch a movie or even go the regular movie theatre when you can go to the drive-in? You get a little taste of being outdoors while watching a couple of movies. Plus, you can bring a blanket and your own snacks. Here is a list of drive-in theatres in and near Toronto!
Relax Together At A Spa
If you have an anniversary coming up or simply just want to go on a special date, there’s nothing like going to the spa with your partner! It’s not only super relaxing, but it can be really romantic as well. You can get couple services at pretty much any spa, but if you want to just spend time together unwinding, a Nordic spa is the perfect place.
Go On A Nature Walk/Hike
Getting out in nature with your partner is so underrated! Eliminate the distractions of the city and go on a hike at a nearby trail! If you’re not sure where to go, Moore Park Ravine is a great option that isn’t too difficult to complete.
Go To Brunch
Is it just us or are dates always reserved for dinner? Switch it up a bit by waking up and going on a brunch date! There are tons of great brunch spots in Toronto that are totally date-worthy.
Picnic
An easy and relatively free date idea is to go on a picnic! Pack up your favourite foods and drinks, lay out a blanket at a nearby park and enjoy! You can make it more romantic and “date-worthy” with some simple elements like an extra blanket, glassware, a bluetooth speaker, and so on.
Have A Beach Day
Before summer ends, everyone should go on at least one beach date! You can spend quality time together laying in the sun, swimming in the lake, and just enjoying each other’s company with the sound of the waves.
Visit The Botanical Gardens
What’s a cuter date than walking around and being surrounded by beautiful flowers? Toronto’s Botanical Garden is open every day from dawn to dusk, and you can even book a guided tour and learn something new together!
Go Out For Dinner
Last but not least, you can never go wrong with a classic dinner date. To keep things interesting try out somewhere you’ve never been before and experience something new together!
