#1 Seven Falls (17.99/Adult & 4.4 Stars)
Visiting the Seven Falls is a MUST if you are visiting Colorado Springs. Depending on what route you take, the hike could be anywhere from 0.4 to 3 miles long, and it could take you less than one hour to 4 hours to complete. The trail is dog friendly, so if your partner is an animal lover, bring your dog. If you time it perfectly, you could experience one of the most beautiful sunsets you’ll ever witness.
#2 Bad Axe Throwing ($25/Adult & 4.5 Stars)
Wanting to try something different? Or do you and your partner want to blow off some steam from a long week? Bad Axe Throwing is so unique, it will leave your partner speechless. It’s even compatible with large parties if you want to do a double or a group date. Just make sure no one in your party is a serial killer, or the night might not go according to plan.
#3 Manitou SunWater Spa (Prices Vary & 3.9 Stars)
Tired from a long week? Manitou Springs SunWater Spa is the perfect way to wind down. Containing essential minerals, the spring waters are rumored by the locals to be the fountain of youth. You can score some serious brownie points, and have a romantic evening if you bring your partner here.
#4 Cottonwood Center for the Arts (FREE & 4 Stars)
The Cottonwood Center for the Arts is an excellent place to experience deep works of art that can reveal more about yourself and about your partner. The art center hosts a limited amount of exhibitions for a short amount of time, so before you decide to take your partner here, make sure to check the current exhibitions tab on their website. If you're smart, keep track of what unique things your partner says about themselves — the more unique traits and ideas you remember about your partner, the more they'll fall for you.
#5 Locked in Escapes ($34/Adult & 4.9 Stars)
Wanting to see how your partner acts under pressure? Take them to Locked in Escapes. The business has three escape rooms titled “Rock Star – The Final Curtain,” “Darkness Falls,” and “Cell Block E.” They’re coming out with an unnamed new room later this year. Make sure to book your escape room before showing up. Make sure your partner doesn't have any anxiety disorders or claustrophobia because that will be a major turn off if you bring them here.
#6 Glow Golf ($12/Adult & 4.2 Stars)
Are you a CEO in need of showing off your office putting skills? Or is this your first date? Glow Golf may be the best choice for the evening. You can easily bypass the awkward dinner date by taking them to this mini golf course. You can even play up to 36 holes per visit. Overall, it’s a perfect way to break the ice.
#7 The Control Room Arcade Bar (Price Varies & 4.5 Stars)
If you and your partner are still stuck in the 80's, the Control Room Arcade Bar might be the right date night for you. The Arcade has dozens of retro video games as well as over a dozen cocktails for you to sip on. Fight the urge to get too competitive — it might turn your date off. Make sure to bring quarters and your ID.

#9 Skirted Heifer (Price Varies & 4.5 Stars)
