Fall into a routine of going to the same dinner places, seeing the same movies, going to the same bars? Ever want to change it up? Here is a list of fun date ideas that are completely underrated. Summer is the time for adventure, so grab your significant other (or best friend) and go!
1. Go to the zoo.
No one goes to the zoo after the elementary school field trips, so you probably haven't been in a while. You get to see all the animals and try to convince your significant other to buy you a stuffed animal to commemorate your trip.
2. Go to the aquarium.
If you hate the heat, this one is for you. The fish are fun to look at, and some places even let you touch the stingrays!
3. Amusement park
Roller coaster or water slide parks are always a fun way to channel your inner child.
4. Berry picking
Fruit is amazing on a hot summer day, and picking berries can be a fun experience. Bonus: you can make great drinks with the berries.
5. Picnic
A classic date, but a good one. Grab some food, and get outside!
6. Have a cookout.
With friends or without, cooking out is a great idea.
7. Do tourist things.
Every town has some sort of tourist attraction. Spend the day pretending to be a tourist and enjoy your town.
8. Camping or "camping"
Whether you love the outdoors or hate them. Spending time outside under the stars is always a fun way to make new memories. Either set up a tent or just throw down a blanket in your backyard.
9. Go geocaching.
Channel your inner child and go for an adventure looking for hidden treasure!
10. Walmart adventures.
Two words: Walmart bingo. Walmart carries the most random assortment of items which means you'll have fun exploring. Walmart hide and seek is also a favorite.
11. Dave and Buster's
It's like an adult Chuck E. Cheese's and they serve alcohol.
12. Game night
Mix it up. Instead of playing Cards Against Humanity every time, why not break out the old games. Get a Twister mat and add paint! Just make sure you wear clothes you can throw away.
13. Volunteer at an animal shelter.
You get to give back to your community and play with cute animals. It really doesn't get any better than this.
