Recreate a scene right out of a romantic movie when the two of you hit the ice on a date at the International Skating Center of Connecticut. It won't matter if you both have put on a pair if ice skates before or not. What will matter is that you can enjoy the experience hand in hand and have fun sharing time talking, gliding on the ice, and people-watching. Plus, you will each be there to catch each other if you fall! The schedule of hours varies seasonally, so call or check the website before venturing out.

Amid the day to day hustle and bustle of the city, escaping to a natural haven isn't as difficult as you would think thanks to Hartford's Elizabeth Park Rose Gardens. Your senses will be stirred in this beautiful natural setting that features amazing views of meadows, fields and water. And of course, the roses of the park's namesake are the main attraction. A half-acre garden of rose bushes has attracted international attention, and once you see it, it's easy to see why. There are also several greenhouses, a picnic grove and recreational areas.
