Get a coffee to go from the East Village Sidewalk Citizen (and maybe a pastry or one of their famous cinnamon buns too) and then follow the river pathway for a nice afternoon walk.

Movie Date Ideas - A Classic Date

Chinook Mall Cineplex

Chinook Mall Cineplex

Chinook Mall Cineplex

Everybody goes here so it's a rite of passage, really. Take your relationship to the next level! (up one broken escalator that is)

Old Divey Theatre

Chinook Mall Cineplex

Chinook Mall Cineplex

Empty theatres mean you can talk during the movie amiright? I recommend The Plaza, Globe Cinema, or Eau Claire. You'll have lots of space.

Old is good

Outdoor Movie

Chinook Mall Cineplex

Outdoor Movie

A summer classic! Although, you might have to do some googling to figure out what's on for the and where.

VIP Theatre

Chinook Mall Cineplex

Outdoor Movie

Enjoy every second of this adults only VIP experience. Available at the University District and Seton Cineplex locations. Costs a little more, but is worth it IMO.

Unique Date Ideas - Theme Restaurants

Spice things up by trying Moroccan food for the night. The atmosphere is coloful and vibrant and gives you an out-of-Calgary feel.

Reminisce about the highlights of your relationship while enjoying 80's nostalgia and craft beers.

Fans of The Shining will love to spot all the movie references in the décor and on the menu. Plus your date need not fear being trapped at the Overlook Hotel.

For a fun whimsical date try out the Potion Room. This Harry Potter themed bar is known for wacky cocktails.

Entertaining Date Ideas - See Something Different

Vertigo Theatre

Adult Night at Telus Spark

Vertigo Theatre

An under-rated date idea IMO.  Vertigo is a smaller sized theatre so all the seats are great. Grab a glass of wine and some snacks and enjoy the show.

Vertigo

Comedy

Adult Night at Telus Spark

Vertigo Theatre

Calgary has so many comedy options. Yuk Yuks is probably the most well known but you can also do The Comedy Cave or The Laugh Shop.

YukYuks

Adult Night at Telus Spark

Adult Night at Telus Spark

Every month (approximately) Telus Spark Science Centre holds a new adults-only night with a fun and different theme. 

Telus Spark

Ghost Tour

Adult Night at Telus Spark

Adult Night at Telus Spark

There are a few places you can go on a ghost tour in Calgary, so far I've found the best to be Ghost Gurus. Be prepared for a mix of historic and modern day ghost stories with some ghost hunting mixed in.
