The Spokane Civic Theatre boasts an impressive vintage. Originally constructed in the late 1940s, the venue still offers some of the city's most respected theatrical productions that include critically lauded comedies, musicals, and dramas. Every season is filled with must-see performances and entertainment, so make sure you get your tickets early. The theater also features two main seating areas. Enjoy the action on stage from the Main Stage for a more panoramic view, or see it from a more intimate perspective when you sit in the Studio Theatre.
Get some good exercise while rolling around on a pair of roller skates at Pattison's North Skating Rink. Enjoy the fun of leisurely skating along the rink's surface to some of your favorite music. It's a fun way to get the family together. And if you or your kids don't know how to skate all that well, don't worry! There are plenty of rails to hang on to as well as an area for intermediate skaters that will give you plenty of room to roll!
Sometimes, the two of you can enjoy some quality time just by making a quick escape to a romantic place that offers something truly special for you to focus on. One such place is the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture. Considered to be one of the most impressive cultural institutions in the Pacific Northwest, this is anything but your average museum. On your date, you can casually stroll through the five galleries to take in the famously eclectic works and exhibits. The building itself is a work of art, as it features impeccable landscaping, an outdoor amphitheater, a museum store, and a great cafe where you both can get a cup of coffee and talk about the many artistic high points of your time together.
