Night-time Observatory and Skyline Viewing
Give in to the allure of heavens as you engage in a calming stargazing session followed by a viewing of Vancouver's dazzling skyline.
- Begin your date at the MacMillan Space Centre's observatory, where you can gaze at celestial bodies through their half-metre Cassegrain telescope. As you marvel at the vastness of the universe, share your thoughts and hopes with each other making the whole experience very intimate, romantic and memorable.
- After stargazing, drive to a nearby local lookout spot that provides a magnificent view of the Vancouver's skyline. The city's lights reflect beautifully on the water, creating a contrasting yet harmonious view with your stargazing experience. Take some time to sit, cuddle up with your loved one and enjoy the view. Those city lights can be as mesmerising as the stars above.
- Lastly, if you still have some energy left, finish the night with a late dinner or dessert at a local eatery. This could give him the chance to relax after his long day while you get to satisfy your appetite and continue your energetic streak.
Preparation steps:
- Before heading out, check the public viewing schedule of the Observatory to avoid disappointment. Ensure you dress warmly as Vancouver can be quite chilly in October, especially at night. Pack a light picnic basket with a cozy blanket, some hot drinks and snacks for your skyline viewing session.
- Getting to the observatory and the lookout spot involves some driving, so make sure your vehicle is in good condition. If you don't have one, hire a comfortable rental car.
- Lastly, choose a suitable eatery for your late night meal. It should be a place where he can relax and unwind from his work day, but is also lively enough to cater to your high energy.

- The option of wrapping up the evening with a meal or dessert gives flexibility to lengthen or shorten your date according to your partner's energy levels.
