Best Unlikely Date Place

While the classic dinner-and-a-movie date night is a tried-and-true method, it's become stale as the crustiest crouton in the box. It's time to get more creative—and what better place to take your sweetheart than the Woodland Park Zoo? Chances are it's been years since either of you has visited the Asian elephants, komodo dragons, and red pandas. If you're on a budget, there's ample outdoor space to pack your own romantic picnic, and if not, you can have a lovely lunch in the Rain Forest Food Pavilion. Since the place is so big, you'll certainly be able to find a private nook or dark corner to sneak in at least one swoon-worthy kiss.—Jaime Swindle
