A HUGE Collection of Date Night Ideas

A HUGE collection of date night ideas!

• Get a role of quarters and have a contest to see who can get the best and most creative item from the 25cent machines (maybe in a shopping mall)
• Color pictures together—find a fun coloring book or print coloring book pages off of the Internet
• Blind-Fold Miniature Golf—miniature golf is fun, but it can be even more fun when you add some variations; play a round with blindfolds, then try playing three legged miniature golf (tie your dates left leg to your right leg)
• Build something together with legos or lincoln Logs
• Reverse Trick-or-Treating Directions: Dress up in your Halloween costume (any time of year) and walk around town with your date knocking on doors. Instead of asking for trick-or-treats, bring treats of your own to hand out.
• Have a “LAN Party”—a computer game night with everyone playing at the same place. This can be fun even if you don’t normally enjoy video games—just laugh together and have a good time.
• Go horse back riding then have a picnic in a canyon
• Grab some good books and climb a tree or find a tree house to read with your date.
• Put a love sac in the back of a truck and head up a mountain or out in the open under the stars--watch a movie, or just stare at the stars
• Taking an adult education class is a fun inexpensive date night activity. You can take a cooking class to learn how to cook Indian food or to make sushi. Or you can learn how to do crossword puzzles or Sudoku. Or you can listen to a lecture about modern film. Adult education can be fascinating and teach you new things about a fun hobby or an interest that the two of you can share.
