4 Winter Activities to Do on Your Romantic Poconos Getaway

A romantic getaway is a great way to connect with that special someone in your life. Whether you've been married for years or your relationship is new, few things can create sparks the way a vacation together can. There's something about breaking from your routine and exploring the unfamiliar that can really bring two people together.

The Poconos offer charm and plenty of romantic things for couples to do in the winter. Here are four of our favorite activities:

1. Sledding

Remember that feeling you would get on snow days as a kid? You didn't have a care in the world. This was before you had to commute and shovel and pay to heat your home, when snow days meant spending the entire day outside with your friends.

At Split Rock Resort we encourage you to act like a kid again. If it is snowing, you can grab a sled from recreation and take it up to the old ski hill.

2. Horse Drawn Sleigh Rides

Kick the romance up a notch with a horse drawn sleigh ride at Daisy Field Farm, located just 15 minutes from Split Rock Resort. Your ride will take you across the gorgeous farmland, over rolling hills and through the woods. If you're lucky, you might spot a deer or two.

Upon request, Daisy Field Farm can prepare a bonfire to warm up by at the end of your ride.

3. Helicopter Tours

If you're after a more exhilarating experience on your romantic getaway, take to the skies with a helicopter sightseeing tour over the beautiful Pocono Mountains. Pocono Helitours offers four unique tours, each with their own spectacular views. If there is something specific you’d like to see that isn’t featured in one of the tours, custom tours are available upon request.

You and your loved one will enjoy the breathtaking aerial views of the mountains and lakes.

4. Curling up by the Fire

After all the ice-skating, helicoptering, and sleigh rides, you'll want a warm place to go to escape the cold. At Split Rock Resort, our Willowbrook Suites are ideal for romantic getaways. Each room comes equipped with a gas fireplace to curl up by with your sweetie. Or better yet, climb into the air-jet Jacuzzi located in your room.

There are so many romantic things for couples to do in the Poconos - even in the winter. If you're planning a getaway with your special someone, Split Rock Resort is currently offering a Date Night Package. Our Sunday-Thursday mid-week Date Night Package includes dinner, breakfast, movie passes, and bowling passes for you and your loved one.
