For more than 100 years, the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, known more casually as the Belle Isle Conservatory has been a beacon of unique beauty in the heart of Detroit. Designed by the world-famous architect Albert Kahn back in 1904, this stunning conservatory has been completely renovated as part of Belle Isle's resurgence back to its rightful spot as the crown jewel of Detroit. If the building itself isn't enough to impress your date, the amazing plants from around the world will make for the perfect setting. And you know the best part about a conservatory? No matter rain or shine, good or bad weather, it's always nice indoors while viewing the natural splendor.

Also designed by Albert Kahn and opened in the early 1900s, the Belle Isle Aquarium remained closed to residents for a long time when the city was hit by hard financial times. When park ownership transferred over from the city, residents and conservators combined forces to create non-profits to keep the legacy of Belle Isle and its attractions alive. Since then, the Belle Isle Aquarium has once again become one of the top attractions in the area. Certainly not a place to be missed for new and old Detroit residents alike, there is a plethora of beautiful aquatic fish and animals to come and see, making for a perfect date setting.

Perhaps it's a beautiful day, and you and your date would like to take advantage by walking through one of Detroit's newest and most well-appreciated green spaces. Since the turn of the century, green spaces throughout major urban cities have become all the rage, but before the now-famous High-Line opened in Manhattan, there was the Dequindre cut paving the way right here in Detroit. The Dequindre is a 1.35 mile green walkway right through the heart of Detroit with a stunning urban mixture of green space and skyline. The Dequindre Cut is a perfect spot for a date out and about in the city.
