Looking for some unique date night experiences or Valentine’s Day ideas in the Phoenix or Scottsdale area? I’m all about a great experience over a gift. We don’t necessarily “do” Valentine’s Day at our house but we do love a good date night idea. So whether or not you’re looking for Valentine’s Day specific ideas, here’s a list of 10 ideas to get you thinking about what you could give or do together as the gift of experience in Phoenix, AZ.
10 Unique Experience Gift Ideas for Valentine’s Day or Date Night in Phoenix
- Drive around a racetrack in a Lamborghini or Ferrari – YES you can do this and it’s SO cool. Xtreme Xperience travels to 30+ different racetracks around the country. They’ll be in Phoenix this weekend and then back again in November but check out their site to see their dates, pricing, and packages.
- Luxury Staycation – thinking about a little night away? Check out offers from local properties to surprise your Valentine with. Sync up those calendars and plan a night away. My local pick this year is Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa‘s Romance in Paradise package which includes
- Your choice of a Mountain Casita, Mountain Suite, Spa Casita or Spa Suite with plush robes and a goose-down feather bed
- One dinner for two at elements
- Chocolate-covered strawberries and a bottle of champagne, plus a rose-petal turndown for your night of romance
- Dinner Experience – don’t just do dinner, have dinner and an experience in one. Have you ever searched for unique dining experiences in your town? Here in Peoria, AZ you can take a dinner cruise on Lake Pleasant. Or grab some tickets to a Cloth & Flame dinner. They create an amazingly unique experience with community dinners in unique locations giving farm to table a new meaning.
- Hot air balloon ride – if you’ve never had this experience it’s SUCH a fun one. And here in Phoenix, February is such a perfect time to go. Check out Float Balloon Tours. After your flight, they treat you to a full breakfast (or dinner!) featuring sparkling wine from their favorite local vineyard and a rotating menu curated by Arizona’s most talented chefs, organic local farms, and coffee roasters.
