Sometimes you just need to change it up a bit. The everyday grind can wear you out like no other. What better way to find some relief than a cute and cozy date night? Both Salt Lake City and Murray have plenty to offer those looking to break free from their routine and enjoy a much-needed date night. From amazing views and incredible hikes to high-end cuisine that will blow your mind, Salt Lake City is for lovers. Here are five awesome date night ideas we’ve come up with that we think you’ll love:
1. Take a date to the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium. The aquarium is a beautiful display of aquatic life from all over the world and serves as a gorgeous backdrop for any date night. You’ll be hard-pressed to find anything cuter than watching the otters play and the penguins cuddle.
2. For the more outdoorsy type, bring a picnic dinner for a beautifully scenic hike up Ensign Peak. This one is a little bit of a drive, but the views are incredible and absolutely worth it. It is also a fairly easy hike up and perfect for a cool and comfortable fall night. There is no better sight than watching a beautiful Salt Lake sunset with your date.

3. If you are really trying to treat someone to a special night, there’s no better restaurant to take them to than Spencer’s for Steaks and Chops. This exquisite steakhouse is a high-end dining experience perfect for the couple that wants to enjoy a fine glass of wine and an absolutely mouthwatering steak. Spencer’s is one of those restaurants to really wow your date if the price is not an issue.
4. Take your date for some old-school fun at Nickelmania—the classic nickel arcade right here in Murray! Get your healthy dose of nostalgia with classic arcade games like Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, and Galaga, while also enjoying basketball shooting challenges, skee-ball, and Utah’s largest pinball game selection. Show your date you have the serious skills to win the tickets for the best prizes. Or just get a Tootsie Roll for effort. Either way, Nickelmania is a wonderful blast from the past for you and your date.
5. Enjoy an evening round of golf with a twist. TopGolf is only a short drive south—pun intended—and is the perfect place to get a bite to eat while practicing your swing. Even for non-golfers, the food and drink service is enough to warrant a visit. It’s also just plain fun to swing a club, even if you are the most inexperienced golfer out there.
These are just a few ideas to get you started as there are plenty of great places to take a date in and around Murray. But most importantly, if you need to get there in style, be sure to check out Larry H. Miller Toyota of Murray for a sweet new ride that’ll impress any date.
