Experience the ArtWalk, walking hand in hand for a perfect date night
On the first Thursday of every month between May and September, you can enjoy musicians, artists, and street performances right downtown from 6 to 8:30 pm. You could enjoy an early dinner first. But there are also food trucks available during the event that offer some fantastic bites.
Compete Against Each Other at Game OVR
Game OVR in St. Albert is the perfect place for couples who like gaming. You can have a great time competing against each other with plenty of games for two or more players.

The Bourbon Room for a sassy date night
The Bourbon Room is a locals’ favorite with a fabulous atmosphere and a dance floor. Basically, the perfect excuse to get close!

Get a Couples’ Massage
There are plenty of spas to choose from in St. Albert and many are open at night like Heaven Essence where you can indulge in a hot stone massage, or one of many other stress-melting offerings together. Wellness Within is another great pick for disconnecting from the world and reconnecting with someone you love while enjoying a massage. You’ll each have your own therapist with the experience enjoyed in the same room.

These ideas sound fun, especially the bourbon room 🙂
My husband loves playing board games And I love making yummy snacks. When we were childless we used to do game nights with a cheese board. We started getting back into it lately, after Charlotte goes down for the night of course! 🙂
Well you have sold it to me. I want to move to Canada! 🤣
