You hired a babysitter and you’re ready to hit the town! But, where do parents treat themselves to Date Night these days? Chelsea Piers, of course!

New York City parents have named Chelsea Piers the Best Place for a Parent Date Night in NYC’s Parent’s Picks 2009, hosted by Nick’s ParentsConnect and GoCityKids. Because this was the only write-in category, we are extremely thankful to all parents who submitted Chelsea Piers as their vote this year.

Here are a few Parent Date Night ideas to help you relive your youth, pamper yourself, do something active with your partner or just get away from the kids for a few hours!

• Purchase a ball card and hit the driving range at the Golf Club. Stand close to your loved one and work on your grip, stance, swing and more. Or, take a golf lesson from one of our Teaching Professionals and learn the basics together.
• Step into a harness and a new adventure – try rock climbing at the Sports Center health club. Learning to climb with someone you trust can be not only a bonding experience, but also a way to challenge your bodies and minds.
• Treat yourselves to side-by-side Aromatherapy massages, facials and more at The Spa. Right now, all services are 20% off and 30% off for Sports Center members. With the holidays rapidly approaching, now’s a great time to book a treatment with a loved one.
• It’s getting colder and there’s nothing quite like ice skating and a cup of hot chocolate to bring back childhood memories. Join us at Sky Rink for the perfect wintertime date.
• Set sail and snuggle with your hunny on one of many day cruises leaving from Chelsea Piers. Beautiful fall and winter cruises will allow you to enjoy the Hudson as the seasons change.
• Strike! Pull out those attractive bowling shoes from 20 years ago and head over to 300 New York. There’s nothing like a friendly competition on the lanes.
• End your date with a delicious meal and beer tasting at Chelsea Brewing Company. CBC offers 20 hand-crafted premium beers that are sure to please any palate.

For Place For a Parent Date Night
in New York

Looking to get out of the city for a day? It’s time to dust off those clubs and hit the links at Wild Turkey.

Unveiled in 2001 at Crystal Springs, Wild Turkey is an expansive 7,202-yard, par-71 layout by Roger Rulewich. It has a dramatic personality, with holes marked by sharp elevation changes and fine views of the Delaware Water Gap to the west. With an average size of 8,000 square feet, the greens here aren’t just big – they’re enormous!

To enhance your outing experience, the group will be accompanied by two Golf Academy Teaching Pros to provide instruction and expertise.
