Your Next Date Night Is Already Planned

You want to spend more quality time together.

But somehow, planning a date night turns into work.

You search for things to do in Reading, PA. You compare restaurants. You try to find an activity that feels different. You check schedules. If you have kids, you also have to solve the childcare puzzle.

By the time you’re done planning, staying home starts to sound pretty good.

That’s where GoggleWorks Maker Dates come in.

You Want a Better Night Out

You’re not looking for something complicated.

You just want a night that feels:

• Fun
• Easy to plan
• Different from the usual routine
• Worth getting out of the house for
• Like actual quality time together

And maybe you’d like to leave with more than a dinner receipt.

Maker Dates are designed to make that easier.

We Help You Turn Date Night Into an Experience

At GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, Maker Dates are one-night creative experiences where you can try something new together.

Depending on the date, you might:

• Blow glass
• Make pottery
• Create jewelry
• Work with wood
• Paint
• Try fused glass
• Experiment with photography
• Make a seasonal project

No experience is required.

You don’t need to be “artistic.” You don’t need to know what you’re doing.

You just have to show up ready to try something new.

And Now, More of Your Night Is Planned for You

We’ve upgraded Maker Dates to make your night out even easier.

NEW! Maker Dates now also offer the option to upgrade your night with a 5-course dinner at Thorn Alley Kitchen before your workshop. Sit down, enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal together, and ease into the evening before heading into the studios to create. It turns your Maker Date into a complete night out, with dinner, drinks, and a hands-on creative experience all in one place.

So instead of planning dinner here, drinks there, and an activity somewhere else, you can spend the evening in one place.

Parents, We Know Date Night Can Be Harder

Sometimes the biggest obstacle isn’t finding something to do.

It’s finding someone to watch the kids.

Maker Dates now offer Kids’ Drop Off, giving your child their own creative evening while you enjoy yours.

Kids can enjoy:

• Pizza from Thorn Alley Kitchen
• A hands-on art activity
• Time in one of GoggleWorks’ youth classrooms

You get your date night.

They get their own fun night.

Everyone wins.
