Take Your Date Night to New Heights

How would you like to climb to the top of a mountain? This might be a little too adventurous for a date night, but Stone Gardens has a similar option. Their Ballard and Bellvue locations feature 2.5 hour climbing 101 classes five evenings a week. You will learn about climbing safety and the proper way to scale the walls at any center or real mountain. You even receive a two week membership with your class so you can come back and practice your skills on the various walls they have at the facility. This is a great way to exercise and learn something new about your date at the same time. 

These unique date night ideas are sure to leave you with a memorable night. We hope that you will have a great time and come home to Aspira feeling good about a second or third or 500th date.
