If trust is the foundation of any relationship, then Holden Arboretum’s Murch Canopy Walk puts it to the high-wire test. Suspended 65 feet in the air, the 500-foot-long platform winds through the forest of hemlock, white oak trees and more while bringing you eye-to-eye with dragonflies, raccoons and bluebirds. “Dates can be pretty stressful,” says Cait Anastis, editor of Holden Arboretum’s Forest and Gardens Magazine. “But it is proven that being in nature puts you at peace and relaxes you, so you can focus on the person you are with.” We recommend holding hands while traversing the canopy — for extra security, of course. 9500 Sperry Road, Kirtland, 440-946-4400, holdenarb.org After: Don’t stray too far from the forest at family-owned Biga Wood Fired Pizzeria. The Margherita pizza, baked at 900 to 1,000 degrees over local oak, cherry and apple woods, is a simple blend of Biga’s sweet red pizza sauce, fresh mozzarella and fresh local basil. 9145 Chillicothe Road, Kirtland, 440-379-7313, bigapizzeria.net #Active #Foodie #Inexpensive
