Sometimes its hard to get creative when pressured to come up with ideas for the perfect date. If you live in the Atlanta area, you are extremely lucky because there are endless date opportunities just a stones throw away.

1. Plan a Picnic in Piedmont Park

Atlanta’s Piedmont Park offers a huge amount of green space that serves as a perfect destination on a nice day. Stroll through the grounds and choose yourself the perfect spot to share a picnic with your special someone.

2. Pull up to Starlight Drive-In

Put a spin on your classic movie night by watching the show from your own car in a retro drive-in movie theater. Not only does this drive-in allow you more privacy and fun than a typical movie theater, but tickets are reasonably priced at just nine dollars for adults.

3. Take a romantic ride at Skyview Atlanta

Skyview Atlanta is a date idea that is both fun and intimate. A ride on the ferris wheel is a great activity for both day and night, and costs just under fourteen dollars for adults. Not only do you get a bird’s eye view of the city from twenty stories up in your own private gondola, but also expect to learn some interesting facts about Atlanta from the ride’s complimentary informative recording.

4. Stroll through Centennial Olympic Park

Centennial Olympic Park is an affordable opportunity for a fun and romantic date. Take a look around the park, which was built for the 1996 Olympic Games, making sure to see the fountain of rings. Though a simple stroll is great, you can check out any events the park may be hosting, such as summer concerts or ice skating in the winter.

5. See a show at The Tabernacle

Every year, large numbers of musicians pass through Atlanta to perform. One of the most popular venues in the city is the Tabernacle, a mid-sized music venue that was actually originally a church. Check out the venue’s event list to see if any of the upcoming shows would help you put together the best date night ever.

6. Treat your taste buds with burgers at the Vortex

Everybody loves a good burger… especially when it’s from the Vortex. This award-winning restaurant will assure you a supreme culinary experience that your taste buds will praise you for. The creative concoctions this restaurant has created are probably unlike any burger you’ve ever had, all creatively titled, such as the Zombie Apoalypse, Reverse Cowgirl, Holy Guacamole, and Coronary Bypass burgers. And if anyone in your party happens to be vegetarian, they have some delicious vegetarian options on their menu, too. This location not only has good food, but an edgy, energetic atmosphere perfect for date night.

7. Wander through the Atlanta Botanical Garden

A cruise through the Atlanta Botanical Garden is a romantic and beautiful date opportunity. These perfectly manicured garden displays are a great escape from Atlanta’s concrete jungle. Check out the garden’s website to look into what special displays and events are on offer to create the perfect date.

8. Romance on a rooftop

Rooftop bars are all the rage, and luckily, Atlanta’s list of these locations continues to grow. Rooftop bars give you all the fun of a regular bar experience, while simultaneously allowing you to enjoy some nice weather and fresh air. Some of the best rooftop experiences in Atlanta are found at Six Feet Under, Der Biergarten, Arcadia, Wetbar, and 5Church Atlanta.

9. Splurge on a show at the Fox Theatre

If you’re trying to plan something really special, the Fox Theatre is the perfect for a night to remember. The Fox puts on several shows and events each year, all of which are wonderful. In addition to its wonderful shows and performances, the Fox is a sight to see in itself, with its beautiful Islamic and Egyptian architecture. Tickets can be pricey, but the experience you will receive will be well worth it.

10. Tour AND taste at Monday Night Brewing

Going out for a beer is always a fun, easy date idea. But, it can be even more fun at Monday Night Brewing. Atlanta’s craft beer scene is on the rise, and Monday Night Brewing seems to know how to do it best. They offer great beers that pair well with food and offer brewery tours and beer tasting sessions several times a week, and not only on the weekend.

11. Free movie in Central Park

Going to the movies is always more fun than just watching at home. The only problem is that these days, a trip to the movie theater can get pretty pricey. Atlantic Station offers a great solution to this economic dilemma by offering a free, outdoor movie showing every Thursday over summer. So, bring a blanket and cozy up to a free movie on the grass of Atlantic Station’s Central Park with your special someone.
