Best Date Spots In Sudbury

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,

Valentine’s Day is coming up, but with your busy life it might seem time-consuming to research different date spots. If you don’t have time to look up date spots, we have conveniently created a list, so you can identify which place will work best for you and your lover. Read it down below:

1. Bell Park Walkway/Boardwalk

Bell Park is one of the most iconic locations to visit in Sudbury for a good reason: the scenery is beautiful! The Bell Park boardwalk is also popular to visit, as it provides a view of both the beach and the trees. While February is a cold month, the boardwalk is around 2 km long, which makes it a perfect length to walk, so you and your date can warm up. If you and your partner love the cold, and like staying active, the Bell Park boardwalk is a great choice for a date!

2. Pasta E Vino Ristorante

What better way to get to know your date, then by inviting them out to a fancy Italian dinner? With many pasta dishes to choose from, you can be sure to find something that suits both of your fancies. Sometimes simply sitting down, eating great food, and talking to someone you love can help you learn a lot about their personality and interests. Check out the website for Pasta e Vino Ristorante here.

3. Onaping Falls

Just outside of Sudbury, you can visit Onaping Falls for an outdoor adventure. Not everyone likes to hike when on a date but travelling on an outdoor path with a waterfall as the destination is sure to make you and your date closer than ever, especially if you make this trek on a cold winter day. If you plan on travelling to Onaping Falls during winter, make sure to check that the trail is open before heading out on your journey.

4. Puzzled Escape Rooms

Were our outdoor suggestions not thrilling enough for you? Puzzled Escape Rooms is a great place to get out of your comfort zone and learn how to work as a team. If you have friends who are also trying to figure out where to go on a date in Sudbury, why not invite them for a double date with you and your partner? By completing an escape room, you will learn the different strengths and weaknesses of each individual, making it a great place to see if your personalities compliment each other.

5. Kuppajo Espresso Bar

Who else needs to start their day with a delicious cup of coffee? If you are looking to spend a day out with your special someone, we suggest beginning at a café. At Kuppajo Espresso Bar, you can begin your day by ordering appetizers and coffee. If you don’t finish your food and drinks, you can take them out with you while you walk hand-in-hand around downtown Sudbury. You can spend the rest of the day peaking in all the little shops, while enjoying each other’s company. If you still have energy, you can end the day by watching the sunset at Bell Park.

If you are looking for a comfortable accommodation for you and your partner, the Quality Inn Sudbury is here to provide you with the best hotel rooms in Sudbury for a romantic getaway! Call us at 705-675-1273 to book your stay today.

When you are spending the day at a spa, it’s crucial to keep your brain in a relaxed state, so your spa service is beneficial to your mind and body.
