Creative Date Ideas for Couples on Valentine’s Day
Beyond the Box of Chocolates
Sometimes, couples want to break the usual date routine and experience something new. Our short list of activities may reignite your love and possibly take you out of your comfort zone.
Breakout Lawrence
727 Massachusetts St., Lawrence
Put your best communication skills to work and solve puzzles as a team within a set amount of time to unlock the door of an escape room.
At Breakout Lawrence, couples can select from several thematic rooms varying in difficulty. Can you handle the pressure of the ticking time clock for a particular room? A game master can guide you on which 30-minute or one-hour rooms would be best when you reserve a session.
Test your dynamic duo skills in Room 13, where participants have no recollection of checking in to the hotel-themed space and must listen to a voice to guide themselves to freedom. Sign up for an Alice in Wonderland or Civil War Escape room, each considered challenging and best for groups.

When life is busy, relaxing together as a couple at the tranquil Bohemia Healing Spa is rejuvenating. The shared experience is an opportunity to make memories while improving one’s well-being.
A 60-minute couple’s massage, Couple’s Escape, in a dimly lit room set to soft music finishes with a 30-minute hot stone facial and a sandalwood and honey back scrub. Another luxurious spa package, Sweet Retreat, begins by relaxing in a sauna followed by a 90-minute couple’s massage with extra time added to the service to lounge and taste a tray of desserts and raspberry hibiscus tea.
