A dinner and a movie can be a nice date …..but every now and then it’s fun to think outside the box by trying something new together. I’ve created a list of some of my favorite unique date ideas.
1. Try a “new to you” restaurant
Go to a restaurant that you both have never been to before. I like to do a little research by checking with a few friends who are bloggers and also from websites. Step out of your comfort zone and try a cuisine that you normally wouldn’t eat.
2. Take a Tour
I love taking tours. I think they can be such a great date. There are so many out there that you can find one for almost any interest level. There are history tours, sports tours, sightseeing tours, art tours, food tours, beer tours, etc. You don’t have to go far. I’ve taken so many tours that I even created a specific category on the blog main page specifically for them. Ride Segways because once you ride one, you won’t care how nerdy you look.
3. Go to a Museum- Art, History, Sports or a random oddity.
4. Go snowshoeing, skiing, or snowboarding
5. Go to a Shooting Range
6. Go Geocaching
7. Frisbee golf
8. Snow Tubing at a local sledding hill or resort
9. Go Zipling
(I have a whole category on the homepage dedicated to places to zipline)
10. Take a Dance lesson
11. Explore a Cave
12. Try extreme tree climbing with harnesses
13. Try stand up paddleboarding
14. Go kayaking, canoeing or rafting
15. Watch a sporting event
16. Try a new outdoor activity like Footgolf
17. Go to the Drive in
18. Visit an Amusement Park
19. Try the trapeze
20. Set up an animal encounter at a zoo, rescue or aquarium
21. Take a couples massage
22. Go for a bike ride
23. Go for a hike
24. Go Horseback riding
25. Watch a horse race, take a unique horse farm tour, or watch an early morning practice for racehorses

27. Go to an indoor Trampoline Arena
28. Play laser tag

These ideas are great! Can’t wait to try some of them out!!
These are great ideas! My boyfriend and I recently went to Hocking Hills for zip lining. We had a lot of fun, but we did the “easiest” ones (first timers) but next time we will definitely be doing the extreme version. Extreme tree climbing sounds like something we should try too!

SUCH A GOOD LIST! It’s easy to choose the ‘obvious’ date night options but these adventurous ones are much more memorable. We love going fishing and kayaking – with and without our baby. Haven’t been in whitewater yet tho like your pic! Thanks for sharing the inspo <3
