Date Night in Lethbridge

Below is a list we’ve put together on things for couples to do in Lethbridge. Relational ruts are easy to fall into. There comes a point where couples find themselves asking, “what should we do?” more often than they do stuff together. This creative block in the road may cause boredom, frustration, maybe binge-watching TV shows. Watching TV or movies with your partner may be a good time occasionally (and in moderation), but it’s important that you are growing and experiencing life together with them beyond a screen. (It’s hard to foster a healthy relationship based solely on this fantastic, yet time-consuming site.)

These habits can be hard to get out of, as you start to feel trapped in an uninspired haze, so we’ve done the work for you. Here are, in our opinion, some of the best date ideas to get you out of the house and exploring this beautiful town with your beloved:

For the adventurous couple: Kayaking in Henderson Lake Park or axe throwing

This beautiful location is ideal on a sunny, calm day. Just grab your kayaks and lifejackets and enjoy getting acquainted with some local, flighty wildlife. We recommend swimming attire in case things get a little too adventurous. Leave your phones at home and indulge in each other’s company or (if you can’t resist snapping the perfect Instagram picture) purchase some type of waterproof case with a flotation device. If you can manage to BYOK (Bring Your Own Kayak), this is a guaranteed good time.

Fancy yourselves adventurers but the weather is awful? Well, move indoors and head over to True North Axe Throwing to try your hand at this unique activity.

Henderson Lake Park – 1103 31a St. South

For the bookworms: A trip to Echo Books or Analog Books

There are so many books that one of them is bound to be your next favourite.
