Date Night Upgrades: Fun Things for Adults to Do in Hamilton

Ordering takeout and turning on the TV is possibly the most tempting date night out there, but it can get really old, really fast. Pepper some fun into your date nights by adding these unique, entertaining and fun date nights in Hamilton into your rotation. Take this chance to connect over art, theatre and other exciting activities. Here are the must-try date nights in Hamilton you won’t want to miss out on.

 

The Westdale Theatre

This historic theatre is well loved by the community—for good reason. It’s a one-stop shop for both art and independent films as well as public performances and exhibitions. Whether you’re in the market for a candlelight ABBA concert, drag theatre or going to see the latest movie release, you’ll find the atmosphere welcoming, intimate and cozy—perfect for a date night and spending some quality time together. 

 

SUSO Skate Co.

For good old-fashioned retro fun, SUSO Skate Co. is the place to go. This outdoor roller rink at Pier 8 in Hamilton is a dream summer date night. Suso Skate’s business model is also very cool—they pop up, transforming unique, underused spaces into roller rinks for the season. So put this on your warm-weather date night to-do list, and skate outdoors together, enjoying the views, the vibes and each other’s company. 

 

Thursday trivia nights at Grain & Grit

Grain and Grit is a brewery—but it’s so much more than that. It’s worth a visit in its own right, but the events on offer make it the perfect date night locale. Book a standing date night (and babysitter!) into your calendar for their Thursday trivia night. This is a great chance to team up as a couple to compete against other teams, or join up with other trivia-goers to expand your pool of knowledge. You might be surprised to learn that your partner knows the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s latest song and can name the capital of every country. It’s a fun way to see a different side of each other, get out on the town, spend time in a cool space and meet some new (or old) friends.

 

Cannon Coffee and Co

For unique brunch and delicious coffee, you’ll love this cozy day date spot. Waffles and waffle sandwiches are their speciality. You can go sweet (e.g. classic waffles with whipped cream and chocolate sauce) or savoury with their fresh veggie sandwich: a sweet potato and zucchini sandwich served with pesto aioli, pine nuts, goat cheese, and balsamic drizzle served on a red pepper waffle. 

 

Play with Clay pottery studio

This inclusive space caters to people of all ages and abilities who want to explore their creativity through clay. Even if you don’t consider yourself artistic, you’ll feel empowered and capable, with teachers who focus on your learning each step along the way.

For a fun date night together, you can do a drop-in program, get your hands muddy together, and discover the joy of pottery without the commitment of long-term classes.

If you want a scheduled date night in your calendar, the structured classes and workshops might be a better fit. You can choose an option from beginner to advanced, and enjoy a fun and supportive learning environment together. Studies show that couples who participate in novel activities report improved relationship quality.

 

Flying Squirrel Trampoline Park

For a completely novel evening, go somewhere you can let loose, jump around and feel like kids again, with a whole trampoline park to explore. Not only can you jump to your heart’s content here, you can go rock climbing together, work out your arguments on the battle beam, try your hand at aerial silks and get feel-good endorphins pumping with tons of exercise. When you’re tired from all the physical activity, you can move to the arcade, where you can enjoy some game time together and leave feeling like you had some great connection time, lots of fun and a special night together.
