If you’re planning a special date in Boulder, I’ve got a few favorites you’ll definitely want to try. Whether you're into scenic strolls, craft brews, or cozy conversations, I think you’ll find that this Colorado town makes it easy to connect. Over the years, I’ve had some great dates here—and if you’re anything like me, you’ll love the mix of outdoorsy fun and relaxed charm.
Highlights:
- Hike the Flatirons for epic views and shared adventure – I’ve done this hike more than once, and it never gets old. If you and your date are up for a little challenge and a lot of wow, this is the one.
- Stroll hand-in-hand down Pearl Street Mall – I always recommend this for a relaxed, low-key date. You’ll find street performers, great little shops, and plenty of spots to stop and chat.
- Share a farm-to-table meal at a romantic Boulder bistro – I’ve had some truly memorable meals here. You’ll love how intimate and flavorful the local food scene is.
- Enjoy live music or indie films at The Dairy Arts Center – It’s one of those places where you always find something interesting. I’ve gone for jazz nights and film screenings, and it’s a perfect way to wind down together.
- Sample craft beers or local wines on a tasting tour – I’ve found this to be a fun, easy way to break the ice. If you’re both curious about local flavors, you’ll have a great time sipping and chatting.
