Bike the Seawall

Riding a bike is both nostalgic and freeing. It brings back the feeling of being a little kid, while also allowing you to feel a little more alive as you pedal on. Bring along someone you want to share that experience with, and it will be hard not to have a great time.

Celebration of Light

The Honda Celebration of Light is a breathtaking fireworks display along the Vancouver waterfront, and it is a magical experience. What’s more, this year the theme is love, so the nocturnal display provides the perfect backdrop for romantic expression. The fireworks will be on throughout the day and into the night on July 28th, August 1st and August 4th.

Outdoor Concert

Everyone gets old, but going to a concert never gets old. Indeed, the sheer amount of electric energy that emerges in the night air is enough to awaken anyone’s spirit. And, there’s no better way to enjoy a summer date (or any outing, for that matter!)

Patio Dinning

A romantic dinner is always a beautiful idea, but there’s nothing better than one on a patio. What’s more, Metro Vancouver has some of the most glorious patios in the country. So, hit up your favourite spot with your better half and dine the night, or day, away! Tip: check out these patios if you need to bring Fido.

Ice Cream Stroll

It may seem like a simple date, but a little ice cream goes a long way. Of course, it may not go that far if its not top notch quality; however, Metro Vancouver has endless choices of delectable ice cream and related goodies. And, when the weather is warm, there’s nothing cuter than enjoying the sweet stuff with your boo. Enjoy!

Cultus Lake Waterpark

The Cultus Lake Waterpark offers over 18 super fun waterslides. There are also five large hot tubs throughout the park, a lazy river, and four children areas. As such, it is an incredibly fun date.

Whitecaps Game

Even if you aren’t a soccer fan, or hooligan, you’ll probably enjoy a Whitecaps game. For one, the stadium’s atmosphere is extremely lively, and offers ample entertainment. The roof is also retractable, to let in that glorious summer light during the daytime. Furthermore, the fun doesn’t stop at the gates. Exiting the stadium you’ll encounter fans from far and wide, and possibly follow the frenzy to a nearby pub or bar.

Playland

Playland is the original cute outdoor date. Its the same setting that Noah meets Allie in the Notebook, and so you can’t really go wrong. Of course, amusement parks are always fun, but make sure that you don’t have an upset stomach before you go! Admission to Playland gives you unlimited access to over 35 rides and attractions, including three of the newest rides.

Deep Cove Friday Night Lights

Of course, kayaking is always a fun date; however, kayaking by starlight is a particularly romantic adventure. Deep Cove Friday Night Lights affords the opportunity to experience the activity under the moon’s luminesce.  It’s a kayaking experience led by a guided tour, starting at dusk and lasting 2.5 hours.

Farmers Market

Shopping in the supermarket may feel somewhat unnatural in the summer, especially when there are fruits and vegetables ripe for the picking. That’s exactly what makes the farmers markets so attractive. As such, its a great way to shop for groceries to make your date a delectable dinner. Moreover, you’ll get to know each other’s preferences, so that you don’t accidentally make them something they positively detest. Whew!
