Different Valentine's Date Ideas

Looking for a different Valentine's Day date ideas? Here’s a few Valentine's Day date ideas that do not involve the same old "romantic" dinner out at an over crowded restaurant. Plan ahead though, some of these different and romantic Valentine's Day date ideas will take a tiny bit of planning ahead of time.

The Zoo or Aquarium

Check out your local Zoo for a fun Valentine's date night idea. Most local Zoos and Aquariums host special date nights on Valentine's Day. Some Zoos also host a romantic dinner for two, special lighting throughout the Zoo, fresh flowers and more. You can check online or call your local zoo for the details. Be prepared though, many Zoos do require reservations and payment before the actual night of Valentine's Day.

The Planetarium

If the outdoor thing is not for you in the cool month of February, then check out your local planetarium. You can find everything from planned Valentine's Date night events to the every day shows already offered. What is more romantic than a night under the stars, epically a warm and snuggly night under the stars minus all the cool breezes, snow flurries, and runny noses!

An Indoor Picnic

This one can be as inexpensive as your budget requires. One of the most cost effective, romantic Valentine's date night ideas is an indoor picnic right in your own home. A real picnic indoor not just eat in and call it picnic. The idea is to lay out a red checkered table cloth on the ground, hopefully in front of a fire place. Lay out a basket filled with wine, cheese, and some yummy and greasy fried chicken!

Dance Lessons

What is more romantic than dance lessons? Not too much! Whether you knew what you doing or not, dance lessons is a chance to get close, have some fun, and learn something new! You’ll get more intimate while dancing and learning more about each other while learning to dance. Check your local dance studios for specials for Valentine's Day!

Cooking Lessons

Ok, cooking is simply romantic as well. Check out your local kitchen accessories shops, bakeries, and cooking schools to find out if they are hosting cooking lessons for two. It is not the same as trying to cook at home. You can learn to cook a romantic dinner for two, enjoy some great food, and have a little fun with your sweetie!

There you go with a few more different Valentine’s Date Idea. Try to enjoy and just have fun doing different things even if it is not as romantic as anyone would expect. It all comes down into having a time alone and being together.

Date Ideas

Having an extravagant date planned with a romantic dinner at an expensive restaurant can become quite expensive. Even though this would be a great way to spend the evening maybe you can spend Valentine’s Day with your loved one doing something casual and fun.

Depending on where you live maybe you can spend the day;

1. At an amusement park where you can enjoy rides, cotton candy and lots of junk food. You might think it a bit childish but you’ll laugh and have fun and you might consider going to the bar for a few drinks afterwards or a café for some fancy coffee.
2. If you are both serious sports fans you might want to go and watch a game together or maybe you prefer to play some one-on-one basketball, there are plenty of activities you can do together like swimming at your local YMCA.
3. Weather permitting you could spend the day outside, holding hands and going for a walk, you might walk to the beach, which can be fun and romantic too. Maybe a walk in the park or visit your local nature reserves. Then have an outdoor dinner after.
4. Another idea is maybe visit an art exhibition you can get to know your local artists and if there is something that interests you maybe you can buy a piece of memorabilia to commemorate your date together.
5. If you’re the homebody type maybe make dinner together and include candles and soft music for a nice romantic Valentine’s Day at home.

As you can see there are plenty of ways to spend Valentine’s Day together from a formal dinner to a fun date. Remember that this day does not have to be perfect; the point of this holiday is to have fun and be together.
