By Marcie Ferrick, Macaroni Kid Lower Bucks, PA Publisher February 3, 2020



Sick of the same old dinner and a movie date night? There’s something in Lower Bucks for every kind of couple! Feel the love with these Valentine’s date night (or day) ideas. 


For the competitive couple...

Feeling adventurous? Axe-throwing is all the rage these days. Give it a try at Stumpy’s Hatchet House in Bristol! Take advantage of their Valentine's Day deal on February 14th and get an hour of throwing for $40/couple (regularly $50 for two people). And, don't worry, they'll provide training and safety info before you get started! 

Or, stick with classic competition and go bowling at Penndel Bowling Center. Go at 10pm for Galactic Bowling and enjoy music, lights, and lasers while you "strike" up some romance. Check out their website for information about the 39th Annual Sweethearts Scotch Mixed Doubles Tournament the weekends of February 8th/9th and 15th/16th with prizes of up to $400!


For the romantic couple...

How about a couples massage at Spa on Main in Yardley? You’ll leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and reconnected. Click here for special Valentine's Day Couples Massage packages starting at $238, and all including two complimentary upgrades. 

Or, enjoy a wine tasting and beautiful scenery at Crossings Vineyards and Winery in Newtown. Their fireplaces will be going on Valentine’s Day for added ambiance and the sparks will be flying between you and your partner!


For the puzzle-solving couple...

Figure out whodunnit at the “Crime of Thrones” Murder Mystery Dinner at Fisher’s Tudor House in Bensalem

Or, put your heads together and try to escape one of four themed rooms at The Great Escape Zone Live Action Escape Rooms on Street Rd. in Bensalem.


For the creative couple...

BYOB and let your creative juices flow at Painting With a Twist in Bensalem. Or, pick a project and sign up for a DIY workshop at Hammer & Stain in Holland. They’ll be at Naked Brewing Co. on February 12th for a Naughty Valentine Crafter event. Your first pour is included in the ticket price!

 

For the fitness enthusiast couple…

Join The Prancing Peacock in Yardley on Valentine’s Day for their “Kindle Your Heart” couples’ workshop where mindfulness, meditation, and restorative postures will have you connecting on a spiritual level. Not ready to go that deep? Unwind together with a yoga class at their Yardley or Langhorne studio.

Or, if you like a faster pace, sign up for a cycling class at Surround Cycle in Newtown, then grab a healthy bite at the new Playa Bowls just a few minutes away. Couples will receive 10% off at Playa Bowls on Valentine's Day! Be sure to mention Macaroni Kid for this exclusive promo!


For the couple looking for some entertainment…

Head over to Shadybrook Farm in Yardley to enjoy some tasty snacks, your beverage of choice (all locally sourced!), and a live local band at the unWINEd Concert Series, held inside the Greenhouse on February 14th or 15th. 

Or, laugh out loud at Neshaminy Brewing Company’s Charity Movie Night featuring “Stepbrothers” at 7pm on Valentine’s Day.  The movie’s free and the beer’s delicious! Bonus: A portion of the proceeds will benefit local dog rescue, Philly Bully Team.


For the couple that wants to spice it up…

Skip to dessert with Elite Pole & Fitness’ Valentine’s Lap Dance Workshop, designed for couples. Located in Bensalem, pre-registration is required; sign up on their website.
