Shake Up Date Night with VIP Perks! by Entertainment

Mary Koczan • October 25, 2022

As part of our New Year’s resolutions, my husband and I made a shared goal of spending more time together as a couple. As parents of a four-year-old with limited babysitter options, it’s a lofty one. We agreed that if we were putting in the extra effort to find a babysitter, we should do the same with our date-night activity.

After scrolling through a few deals on the VIP Perks! by Entertainment app, one caught my attention. It was an offer for 25% off a GoApe Treetop Adventure. Now, my husband and I have talked about how fun it would be to go ziplining, but never followed through with it. Since there’s no better time than the present, I printed the coupon and used it to book our adventure.

When the day came and we were at the park, I was a nervous wreck. Luckily, the staff was very helpful, encouraging and provided thorough training in a short amount of time. As my husband and I weaved through the treetop course together, we enjoyed the sights and sounds of the park, cheered on other couples going through the course and challenged ourselves in a new way. It was an experience we will remember for years to come.

In short, do yourself a favor and shake up date night! From treetop adventures to ice skating to an Improv comedy show, you can enjoy great experiences (and discounts) when you log in to the GBU Life Member Community and opt in for VIP Perks! by Entertainment.
