Tired of the same old dinner and movie? Try one of these unique date ideas to really win him or her over!
- Go Karting at Miller MotorSports Park, Tooele
Miller MotorSports Park/Facebook No wimpy little track here — this is where the big boys race! Sweeten the pot with a bet beforehand…loser buys dinner.
- Sailing lessons, Utah Lake State Park
Bonneville School of Sailing/Facebook Take the “Discover Sailing” course at Bonneville School of Sailing, where you’ll get two hours of instruction on Utah Lake. Learn to tack and jib, and also learn if your partner gets seasick!
- Bobsled at the Utah Olympic Park, Park City
Utah Olympic Park/Facebook Grab your girl and climb aboard a bobsled for a real adrenaline rush! The Olympic Park has lots to offer for a day out: watch Olympians train in the freestyle pool (or try it yourself!), climb the rock wall, go summer tubing and more.
- Stand-Up Comedy at Wiseguys, Ogden and West Valley City
Wiseguys Comedy Club/Facebook Affordable comedy club fun! The club in Ogden is for all ages; the club in West Valley serves alcohol and is 21 years and older. Both serve plenty of tasty food and offer some of the greatest comedians you’ll see in the state.

- Surfing, Ogden

Moab Cliffs and Canyons/Facebook Choose a half day, three-quarter day or even a multi-day canyoneering adventure, depending on how long you want to spend with your loved one. Moab Cliffs and Canyons offers canyoneering adventures as well as rock climbing, rockaneering and guided hikes.

- Ghost Tour, Salt Lake City
Grimm Ghost Tours/Facebook Whether you believe in ghosts or not, a ghost tour through one of Salt Lake City’s “haunted” buildings will definitely bring you closer (I don’t even believe in ghosts, but I’d but snuggled up to my partner while walking through a dark, deserted building!). Grimm Ghost Tours operates in Salt Lake City.
