Summer is no time to be inside, so take your honey and have some fun doing some of these outdoor activities. These are all relatively simple and inexpensive ideas that anyone can enjoy. Nothing says romantic like spending some quality time with your significant other in the beautiful and laid back season of summer. Here are 10 dates ideas for the summer:

1. The Beach

There is no better place to spend a beautiful day than at the beach. Activities like taking a walk far down the shore, watching the sunrise or sunset, or parasailing over the ocean are great for spending quality time with your loved one.

2. The Zoo

Zoos are endless fun. In addition to seeing cute and amazing animals, you are also supporting the zoo in their future plans. This means education programs and exhibit upkeep!

3. Picnic at the Park

A picnic in the park is easy and timeless. You can just pack up a backpack with sandwiches, drinks, and a blanket and you will be on your way. Head on down to your favorite spot and relax in the shade.

4. Nature Trails

If you are feeling adventurous, head down a nature trail of a local conservation or state park. Get some fresh air and enjoy nature. Bring your dog and some snacks and enjoy a beautiful day.

5. A Festival

In the summertime, there are festivals everywhere! Art festivals, music festivals, cultural festivals, and many more. These are almost always outdoor events in which you can just walk around and browse, listen to live music, and eat cool food!

6. Ice Cream

The most classic date, the ice cream date. A true winner if there ever was one. This is a simple yet awesome idea for a date with your significant other.

7. Drive-In Movie

If you are lucky to live in an area where there are still drive- ins, this is a really fun date idea. Everyone love the charm of an old- fashioned drive- in movie.

8. Mini Golfing

This is a fun date that will tap into your competitive side. Take your significant other to the nearest course and just have some fun (or make it a challenge!).

9. Baseball Game

Take me out to the ballgame! There are so many single, double, and triple A teams that there is most likely a team near you. Tickets will probably be on the less expensive side and it is always a fun atmosphere. Minor league baseball games usually have a lot of free promos and fun games to play while you are there as well!

10. An outdoor shopping mall

The summer is no time to be inside. Just being able to walk around and browse some store with your significant other is a fun and easy way to enjoy a beautiful day.
