I am a very blessed mom, but I am also a very blessed wife. Charley and I have been married for 13 years, they say time flies when you’re having fun. That saying holds true because it does not feel like it has been that long! Between running our own businesses and raising 5 kids, sometimes it can be hard to find that alone time to focus on each other. Over the years, we have always made it a priority to find activities we most enjoy doing together – which usually involves watching our favorite shows together or watching stand-up comedy. We do try to go out- just the two of us- as often as our schedule will allow. Some months we get more date nights than others, but for us, sometimes it’s okay to value quality over quantity.
Last week, we decided to have a date together at Silverwood and find some rides where we could get in some cuddle time to relax and enjoy being in each others company. We waited to enjoy the park until after 5 pm just so it was a little cooler outside. Sometimes those hot summer days in Idaho can be draining! Did you know that after 4 pm you can get a discounted ticket at the gate? Another perk to making a late afternoon trip to Silverwood! Of course, we took every chance we could to get in some selfie moments for our scrapbooks and Silverwood has some great photo op spots!
Our first stop was to the magic show – neither one of us has ever seen the magic show, so we snuggled up together and watched the mesmerizing illusions. You can find Nick Norton performing all summer at Silverwood and he is also performing his award-winning show “Phantasm” at the Fox Theater in November.
After the amazement of the magic show we headed over to one of my favorite rides, the Scrambler. That ride always makes me giggle uncontrollably! It was great to squish in with my hubby and laugh together.
We grabbed dinner at Lindys, our favorite restaurant in Silverwood. I love being able to enjoy a meal that is prepared for me and I don’t have to do dishes! Every once in awhile it is so refreshing to break out of our normal schedules and go be silly and laugh together. Between the rides and yummy snacks, having a date night at Silverwood is one of our new favorite things we can do together! Also, my hubby and I love the chance to act like kids again!
My favorite memory from our date at Silverwood is being able to belly laugh together on a ride and then laugh at each about how much we laughed on the ride. That’s how you know you’re having a good time! We also took a break from the excitement of the rides to hold hands and appreciate the scenery within the park. The landscaping is part of what makes Silverwood so special (and romantic). While we may not be able to handle the rollercoasters as much as we did when we were “younger”, we had a blast together doing something a little different than our normal date nights. Plus, who doesn’t love a reason to enjoy some funnel cake with the one you love!
Keep reading to hear what Charley has to say about our Silverwood Date Night.
My wife rocks!
So I will tell you, gentlemen, if you want to take your wife out for a nice time and do something different from the norm, Silverwood is definitely the place to go. Even if you’re not the kind of guy that wants to ride every roller coaster out there, there is something fun at Silverwood for everyone. My favorite ride with my honey is the scrambler. After the Scrambler, definitely check out the Tilt A Whirl, the Log Ride, and driving the old-time cars. Also, we had a blast just walking around the park, it’s a great way to get in some quality time. Then try your hand at some of the carnival games to win her a big teddy bear or other plush animals. The games are inexpensive and fun to play or if you are a competitive couple, challenge each other at a few games! And even if you can’t win a bear, run over the ring toss where every game you win a flower. Don’t forget to stop by the creamery and enjoy a big scoop of ice cream and of course take some time to cuddle up together during the magic show. The illusions they have in there are amazing!

Hello! My name is Jackie. I am married to a handsome handyman, and I’m the proud momma of 5 kids. About 12 years ago, I started my photography business, Jax Creations Photography. Last year, I started a family website called Wanderful Memories. I use this site to share ways other families can document moments in life through travel and lifestyle. A fun fact about me is that I love to cook/bake for others, and I throw a great dance party in the kitchen (when no one is around to watch my awesome dance moves, of course)! There are many parts of Silverwood that I enjoy, but if I had to narrow it down, it would be riding the Tilt-a-Whirl with my boys. I love to hear them belly laugh! My family enjoys visit Silverwood multiple times during the summer with season passes — it is the perfect way to split up the summer days by visiting the water park or getting their adrenaline going on a roller coaster.

I really enjoyed reading about both sides of your experience at Silverwood! I never thought about doing something so fun and different for a date night and hope my fiancé and I can have one there someday.

We have never been to Silverwood before but are planning our first ever trip in 2 weeks. Thanks for some great ideas!
I would love to win! My Anniversary is coming up and this would be perfect for us to reconnect after having our kid. We love this kind fun!
I have never been to a place like this. The closest thing would be a small town fair rides. My boyfriend and I need some fun in our life especially have a baby almost a year ago we haven’t done anything fun in a long time. We would love to experience this! Couples tend to forget to go have fun. My boyfriend deserves to go have fun, he is a hard working man that provides for our family. Best of luck to everyone!!!
My husband and I had one of our first getaway to Silverwood when we were dating 10 years ago. Can’t wait to go back now with our two boys!

I haven’t been to silverwood in years, and I have never really looked at it as a romantic place to go until seeing this post. Would definitely love to go again sometime, especially after having another baby recently. I would love to see other great places for date nights or days!
My husband and I have decided to make Silverwood our last minute family vacation for the summer before our kids go back to school in two weeks. We are so excited!!!!!
For years we purchased season passes and bring the kids and their friends to Silverwood. We have not been in years since the kids are grown. We would love to enjoy Silverwood as a couple, without kids. ❤ What an amazing idea! If we win tickets we will be sure to post pictures of our date.
Great idea!

My family LOVES Silverwood! My husband and I have been foster parents for 8 years, we make sure all our kids get to experience Silverwood at least once! Our daughter, whom we have now adopted, looks forward to summer because of Silverwood!
I’m glad you found time to have a couple date. I wish my hubby,and I could find the time with 2 kids doing sports during every season and a daughter that is having a baby. We have no time for nothing but sports 😂
