Are you tired of dates always being indoors, and always following the same old Netflix and chill routine? Think outside the box with these fun ideas for an outdoor entertainment provider and outdoor dates that could shake up your marriage date night a little and give you some new fun things to do with your sweetie. Whether you're outdoorsy or just want some fresh air, there are some ideas for everyone. Here are the best ideas to take your date outside and show your sweetie some love.
Go on a Hike
If you're looking for an outdoor date idea that's always going to be fun, then put on your hiking boots and head to a local trail for a hike. You and your date can enjoy the beauty of nature together, and it's a great way to get to know someone. You're also going to be doing something healthy together, which will help you work up a sweat while encouraging conversation. Depending on where you hike, you could even commemorate your date at some point, with a beautiful piece of lake art.
Visit a Farmer's Market
Another idea for an outdoor date that will leave a good impression is to go to a farmer's market. You can walk around the different stands together, trying samples of delicious food, and maybe even find a new favorite fruit, vegetables, jam, or craft beer. If you get to know each other's food preferences, you will be better able to decide if you also have a preference for each other.
Take Part in a Charity Walk
If you're looking for a fun idea for a date that has some benefits that go beyond the relationship, signing up for a charity walk or a fun run is a great pick. Whether you and your date decide to walk, jog, or run, you'll start your potential relationship knowing that you're doing something that makes a difference.
Go to the Beach
Another idea that's packed with fun is to put on your bathing suit and your sunglasses and hit the beach. Remember to pack your sunscreen too. There's a long list of fun things to do at the beach whether you sign up for a surf lesson, build sandcastles, play beach volleyball, or relax on your towel and sunbathe.
Visit an Amusement Park
Going to an amusement park with your date can let you show off your daring side and your fun personality. If you're a thrill-seeker, this kind of date will get your heart pumping with someone who could turn out to be your future sweetheart. However, if you're not that into rollercoasters and big thrills, remember that there are theme parks geared towards younger people that are more about fun than fear.
Plan a Picnic
If you're looking for an outdoor date that's fun and relaxing, having a picnic is a great way to get to know each other in a comfortable setting. Make it a potluck picnic where you both contribute different foods to the picnic, or you could stop on the way to somewhere beautiful to pick up some takeout.
Go to an Outdoor Sporting Event
If you're looking for a date that is both fun and action-packed, then heading to an outdoor sporting event is a great idea. You will get to spend time with someone that you're getting to know in an exciting, energetic atmosphere. You'll be able to cheer on your team, but you will also be able to see if you and your date could work out as a team.
Go to an Outdoor Concert
For a musical date, go to an outdoor concert. While there are countless outdoor venues and amphitheaters that you could see a concert at, you might also be able to find concerts that you can attend for free in parks, on piers, or at outdoor fairs for something more local. You and your date can enjoy some live music, and spending time together in this way will help you decide if you blend well together as a possible couple.
Go to a Drive-In Movie Theater
If you've never been to a drive-in, date night could be a great opportunity to go. You can bring some snacks and drinks with you as well as a blanket to snuggle up in while you watch a favorite or a new movie. It's a romantic option that's sure to impress.
Sit Around a Fire Pit
Find your nearest fire pit, or use the one in your garden if you're lucky enough to have one, and get a bonfire lit. Chatting around a crackling fire feels very romantic, and gives you a great excuse to get cozy together. Bring out some drinks and snacks, curl up under a blanket, and make S'mores for a perfect date.
Go Swimming
If you're trying to date when it's really hot, you might not fancy venturing outside much; but how about heading to the lake or your local outdoor pool? Taking a dip will cool you off and spark some romance. Make a day of it by packing a picnic to take with you too.
Go to a Winery
If you have a winery near where you live, take a trip to see it. Wine tasting is a great way to boost your mood, and you can both take home a bottle of the wine you like best.
Sit on a Restaurant Patio
Find out which restaurant near you has the best patio, and set up on it for the afternoon. You can enjoy the sun, chat, and share some drinks and food.
Take a Day Trip
If there's a destination nearby that you've always intended to visit, go there with your date. Whether you make a trip to another state or a state park, the drive is a good to listen to each other's favorite music, chat, and get to know each other. Take lots of photos while you're out and about.
Go to the Zoo
If you have a zoo in your city, go and see the animals. Watching them is sure to spark some conversation. Some zoos let you adopt an animal, so your money goes towards their care, which could be a cute thing to do with a date.
