Take A Trip To The Zoo

Walking around your local zoo is a great date idea because it gives you a lot of quality time to hold hands and talk.

Fall is my favorite time of year for a zoo date because the air is fresh and there are a lot fewer people.

Find Nemo At The Aquarium

Spending a few hours walking around the aquarium is a very relaxing date idea.

I love doing this in winter because I don’t have to worry about the weather and there are fewer people.

Spend Some Time On The Water

Move your date out onto the water for a great experience together.

You could go boating, jet skiing, paddle boarding, etc.

Take a Tour of Eachother’s Home Town

Spend the afternoon touring the town where your partner grew up.

Here are some ideas for the tour:

  • Drive by their elementary school, middle school, and high school.
  • Eat lunch at their favorite childhood restaurant.
  • Take a walking tour of downtown so they can show you all of the spots they liked to hang out at or shop.
  • Grab some ice cream at their favorite dessert place.

This date idea is perfect for great conversations. You will learn so much about your partner.

The other person can show off their home town on the next date.

Go Bowling Together

Bowling is a really fun date idea. It’s one of those activities that allow for lots of talking time.

Plus, you’ll get to wear those awesome matching shoes!

Go Roller Skating

Roller skating rinks are such a great retro date idea.

The music is loud, and the snacks are delicious!

Make sure you both play all of the fun games during your skate session (red light-green light, hokey pokey, limbo, etc.).

Head To a Waterpark

Having a date at the waterpark can be so much fun.

The perfect experience if you love water slides, lazy rivers, wave pools, and junk food!

Spoil yourselves and rent one of the private cabanas. We did this, and it was awesome!

Try Ice Skating

Ice skating is a lot of fun, but if you have never gone before, prepare to fall a lot.

If both of you are new to ice skating, the experience will definitely provide a lot of laughs.

Check Out a Local Craft Fair or Art Fair

Local craft fairs and art fairs are great ideas for a date that doesn’t cost much money.

You can learn a lot about a person and their tastes while walking around these fairs.

Book a Hotel for The Pool

No pool? No problem!

Book a night at a local hotel and spend the entire day at their pool.

Hotel check-in time is typically 3 pm or 4 pm, but if you go into the lobby at 11 am or noon, most hotels will let you use the amenities like the pool/hot tub/gym, etc. as soon as you get there.

Play Catch Together

Playing catch is a fun and relaxing way to spend some time together.

You could play football, baseball, frisbee, etc.

Take Each Other Shopping

Simply take each other out and buy something nice and meaningful for each other.

The main point of this date is that you are spending lots of time walking around and talking with each other.

Plus, you will quickly learn what each other’s tastes are, and now you’ll be prepared for the next birthday or holiday.

Find an Arcade

Arcades are another fun retro date idea.

Besides video games, arcades typically have fun games like air hockey and Skee-Ball.

Be a Tourist Where You Live

Spend the day being a tourist in your own town. Check out all of the popular spots.

Many people try to avoid tourist spots when they live in a popular location.

I know this because I grew up in San Francisco, and I lived in Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas too.

I never did “tourist” things unless someone was visiting.

But when I was “forced” to visit the popular spots, I had so much fun!

Recreate Your First Date

Take a stroll down memory lane with this really fun date idea!

Go to all of the same places that you went to on your first date. This will bring up so many stories about how each of you felt on that date.

Bonus points if you can remember what each of you wore on your first date. Try to find the same outfits and wear them again (a little cheesy? Sure. Do we care? Nope.)

Find a Paint Night For Couples

Paint night for couples is a really popular date night idea.

Search your local area by going to Google and searching “couples paint night in (the city closest to you).”

If you want wine while you paint, you can search for a “paint night with a twist” near you.

This is also a really great idea for a double date with another couple or 2.

Take a Trip to Disneyland or Walt Disney World Resort

Enjoy a date night at the most magical place on earth.

Disneyland and Disney World are wonderful places to spend together as a couple.

Rent a Fancy Car

Spend the day in style by riding around in a classic car or driving around in something more exotic and flashy.

Take a drive along the coast or wherever it is that you want to go.

Check out a site like Turo and choose the area closest to you. Then you can look at the classic car section or the exotic/luxury section.

Attend Fancy Open Houses

Find an open house for a few luxury homes and live like the rich and famous for an afternoon.

Shop for Charity

Stop by your local toy store or Target/Walmart and pick out some Christmas presents for an organization like Toys for Tots. We do this every year.

Another great cause is helping a few pets in need.

You can shop for toys, leashes, bowls, food, etc., and drop them off at your local shelter.

Petfinder has some great info on locating shelters in your area.

Check Out A Local Sporting Event

If you both love sports, this is a great idea for a date!

It does not have to be a big game (like NFL or MLB).

Look for a college game or local city team in your area.

You could even hit up your local high school for one of their football or basketball games.

Start a Photo-Per-Day Project

Make a plan to take a photo together every single day for a month. Make it a year if you’re feeling really motivated.

A simple selfie will do just fine if nobody else is around.

If you don’t see each other every single day, just commit to taking a photo together every time you see each other.

We recommend making a photo book after you are done with the project. Make one each month. Or make one each year. Get those photos off of your phone and into print.

Build a Giant Lego Set Together

Pick up a fun lego set and make it a date!

You can choose any theme that you love.

Lego also has many grown-up themed legos too (Friends, Seinfeld, The Office, etc.)

Go Out To Dinner (But a New Cuisine)

Go to lunch or dinner but pick a new cuisine. Something that neither of you has ever tried.

Check Out A Local Brewery

Local breweries are a great place to try some new beer and have a great meal.

It’s the perfect date idea for people who are looking for something more relaxed and lowkey.

Visit a Planetarium

Planetariums do not get enough love (in my opinion). They can be a really fun date idea for people who love the night skies.

If you prefer seeing the real thing, check to see if your area has an observatory.

Make a Scavenger Hunt In Your Town

This is a really fun idea for couples who love to explore.

Here are a few ideas for your list to get you started:

  • Someone in uniform
  • A blue hat
  • Red shoes
  • A couple kissing
  • Someone walking a dog
  • A feather
  • 6 birds
  • Etc.

Get creative and make a list that fits the city/town you are going to explore.

Go Antiquing

Antique shopping (even if you’re just window shopping) is a really good idea for a date if you love walking around town and looking for unique treasures.

Spend The Day At A Local Fair

If you are looking for summer date night ideas, your local county fair is the perfect place to go.

Spend the day/night riding rides, eating cotton candy, and playing carnival games.

Make sure you find one of those photo booths and get a strip of photos to take home as a souvenir.

Costco Hot Dogs/Pizza and Samples

Food sampling at Costco is a great idea for a quick lunch date. Walk through and try out all of the fun food samples being handed out.

End your date with a hot dog and a soda at the food court (Still and always only $1.50).

Mall Gifts and Food Court Lunch

This is the perfect date idea for couples who love shopping.

  • Pick a dollar amount and give yourself a time limit.
  • Each of you heads out and buys the other person a gift.
  • You meet back up at the food court for lunch and a gift exchange.

You can add little touches to this date idea like:

  • Only funny gifts
  • Gift ideas for the bedroom
  • Something for your next vacation
  • A specific color
  • Etc.
