Outdoor adventure for two in Edmonton

One of the things that has positioned Edmonton as one of the best cities in Canada to live or simply visit is its enormous natural wealth.

You don’t need to escape from the city to take a breath of fresh air because Edmonton has the longest urban green space in North America, including grassland, parks, lakes and any other natural areas you can imagine.

Edmonton is a paradise for adventure-seekers.

If you want to surprise your date with a thrilling adventure outdoors for two, you should consider going to one of the many wonderful great camping spots in Edmonton and enjoy a romantic picnic.

Places like the Constable Ezio Faraone Park or William Hawrelak Park are two of the favourite choices by couples to enjoy a romantic dinner while watching the sunset.

If you are seeking a unique adrenaline-boosting heart-pumping experience, nothing beats a date in the sky flying in a hot air balloon.

Enjoy an unforgettable ride with your partner above Alberta skyline and River Valley area.

Another good idea is to take your partner to Beaver Hills Dark Sky Preserve, located in Elk Island National Park, to stargazing around a campfire during the Spring and Summer or camping in Miquelon Provincial Park witness the aurora borealis anytime from autumn until April.

Edmonton is one of the best places in the world to see the stunning Northern Lights dancing across the sky during Wintertime, so bring your warmest clothes, grab a thermos of hot tea, coffee or cocoa and enjoy the show with your date.

Curtain up! Take your date to the theatre

You don’t need to live in Broadway to enjoy the best musicals or theatre shows.

If you want to amaze your partner with an original date idea that is fun, serious yet casual, there’s nothing like going to the theatre.

You can enjoy a show outdoors during The Freewill Shakespeare Festival, which takes place during June and July at the Heritage Amphitheatre in Hawrelak Park.

If you picture yourself with your partner having a yummy dining experience while watching an award-winning musical or mystery & drama show, we recommend you a date night at The Mayfield Dinner Theatre.
