Your Guide to the Most Romantic Things to Do in Pagosa Springs 

With the crisp mountain air, date night feels extra special in Pagosa Springs. Whether it’s winter's snow-covered landscapes or its small-town streets' charm, Pagosa Springs creates the perfect setting for couples looking to connect, laugh, and make lasting memories. If you’re searching for date night ideas beyond the usual dinner-and-a-movie routine, you’re in for a treat. From horse-drawn carriage rides to hands-on experiences, this Colorado gem offers a variety of romantic things to do in Pagosa Springs and creative ways to enjoy quality time with your partner. After a day filled with adventure, there’s no better place to relax than at our Pagosa Springs Hotel, where comfort and connection come together beautifully. 

 

A Sweet Escape: Chocolate and Creativity 

Few things say romance quite like chocolate, and Pagosa Springs has a unique way to indulge your sweet tooth. You can dive into the ultimate chocolate experience at The Choke Cherry Tree, where you and your partner will get hands-on with delectable creations. Craft your own truffles or sample their signature confections as the rich aroma of chocolate fills the air. This experience will stick with you, not just because of the flavors, but because it’s interactive and filled with fun. 

 

If you feel inspired after your chocolate-filled outing, head to a paint-and-sip night with Picasso and Vino. Glasses of wine in hand, you can unleash your inner artist in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. The cozy setting is perfect for sparking creativity, and the laughter that inevitably happens when one of you paints a lopsided tree is worth the evening alone. Even if your canvas won’t make it to the Louvre, the shared experience and the memories you create are what truly matter.  

  

Cozy Adventures Under the Stars 

Looking for the ultimate romantic adventure? Book a carriage ride with Buckaroos Rides! Imagine snuggling under a blanket as the horse’s hooves clip-clop through the quiet streets of Pagosa Springs, with twinkling lights above and snow crunching beneath the wheels. It’s a scene that feels straight out of a classic romance movie. These rides are intimate and magical, perfect for anniversaries, proposals, or just because you want to celebrate your love. 

 

If you're looking for another outdoor excursion to experience the beauty of a Colorado winter, pair your evening with a trip to Treasure Falls. Just a short drive from the inn, this stunning waterfall is particularly breathtaking when the water freezes into intricate ice formations. The short hike to the falls is peaceful and rewarding, with the sound of the rushing water setting a calming tone. For added romance, time your visit just before sunset, when the light dances across the ice and snow, creating a scene you’ll both remember for years. 

 

Challenge Your Bond with Fun and Games 

If you’re the kind of couple that thrives on teamwork and a little healthy competition, Pagosa Fun Zone has the perfect activity for you: escape rooms packed with clever puzzles and immersive storylines that require both communication and creativity to solve. Working together to “escape” the room adds a unique twist to your date night. The thrill of solving the last clue and making it out in time is a one-of-a-kind experience. 

 

For something a little more low-key but just as entertaining, consider catching a live performance at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts. From intimate plays to lively musical performances, the theater offers a wonderful way to unwind and soak in some culture. Sitting side by side, sharing smiles and reactions during a show, creates a sense of connection that’s hard to replicate anywhere else. 

 

Relaxation and Stargazing 

Sometimes, the best date nights are the simplest. The remote location and low light pollution in Pagosa Springs make it a prime spot for stargazing. Bundle up, grab a couple of blankets, and head to a quiet spot like Reservoir Hill Park. Bring along a thermos of hot cocoa or cider for added warmth. The vast Colorado night sky, dotted with countless stars, is breathtaking and humbling. Before you go, download a stargazing app to help identify the stars, planets, and constellations. 

 

For couples looking to unwind, a private soak at one of the hot springs resorts is a classic option. Surrounded by snowy landscapes, these geothermal pools offer a tranquil and romantic setting. Picture yourself immersed in warm, mineral-rich waters, snowflakes gently falling, and the world fading away as you reconnect with your partner. It’s a dreamy experience that leaves you both feeling refreshed and more connected than ever.

Each of these ideas offers its own unique slice of Colorado winter fun, but the best part of a Pagosa Springs date night is having a warm and inviting place to return to.
