Sometimes you just need a date night. You need to have a little bit of grownup time to reconnect, eat something that appeals to a more grown up palate and also get some face-time without interruption for a juice box or a snack. Sometimes you just need a break - but you need to know you are leaving your kids in good hands. Below are fun-filled places you can drop off your kids while you go on a date night in and around Metro Vancouver.
