There is nothing quite as romantic as taking a quiet stroll through the beautiful gardens at Phipps Conservatory. This Pittsburgh staple is often overlooked as a great place to spend the evening, but they have late hours on Friday night, which makes it a great date night spot. No matter the weather, Phipps is always warm and beautiful for walking, talking and quiet contemplation among a variety of plant life that you don't get to see every day in Pittsburgh.

A teamwork activity, such as Escape Room Pittsburgh, is a great way to become closer as a couple, and it's also a very fun activity to do with a group of couples. You can choose from Mad Scientist or Prison escape scenarios where you are "trapped" in a room and must work with clues to figure out how to escape. Don't worry, the game ends after an hour, even if you haven't figured out the escape, and you are sure to have fun getting to know each other better.
