200+ Fun Date Night Ideas for Couples to Re-spark Lost Romance
Are you both introverted or extroverted?
I’ve blended several fun date night ideas designed for both personalities.
Which ones am I missing? (Share in the comments field)
I’ve also added some daytime date ideas. Tell me what you think please.
Romantic Date Night Ideas
These fun date night ideas will take you all over town, out to the country side or keep you right in the comfort of your own home.
Kiss at top of an observation deck or on the top floor of a tall building
One of my favorite places to do this is at the top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort outside by The California Grill while gazing at Cinderella’s Castle of Magic Kingdom. (I live about 20 minutes away).
Where’s your favorite observation deck for a romantic kiss?
Give each other full-body massages with oils and candles with soft music
Try edible flavored ones. Cinnamon and spice ones are quite the aphrodisiac. (Do aphrodisiacs even work?)
Romantic foreign movie and popcorn
Professional couples massage or hot stone treatment (check Groupon)
Sunset with wine or picnic
Where’s the most romantic sunset view close to you?
Rent a cabin and escape hectic daily life
Check out vrbo.com to find out where couples can rent cabins close to where you live.
Or stay at a boutique hotel in your nearest downtown
Very romantic experience if you’ve never done it. Check for deals with Tripadvisor.com
Cuddle by the fireplace at home with hot cocoa
Visit a local sex toy shop and find something adventurous to play with
How adventurous do you want to get?
Get manicures or pedicures together
I believe this is one of the most overlooked relaxing activities to do together. (Again I encourage you to check Groupon for deals)
Book a luxury suite at a discount
During the slow season will save you lots of money. I love using my Hilton Honors account to find good deals. A few months back I booked a top floor suite with a downtown Tampa view for less than $70 for the night and it included a full hot breakfast.
Cute Date Night Ideas
Consider fun date night ideas to hang out with nieces, nephews if you aren’t married. Kids have a way of bringing out natural joy (when they aren’t your own ha, ha).
I love hanging out with my girlfriend’s nieces and, likewise, she loves hanging out with mine.
Bottom line is these are very interactive and engaging date ideas that get you force you to play and have fun together.
Rent an inflatable playground, invite nieces or nephews
Water gun fight with nieces and nephews
Or Nerf guns inside. Check out this review I found of Nerf guns
Homemade cookies with nieces and nephews
Chocolate chip cookies would be the simplest.
Put together a bunk bed for nieces or nephews
Some might see this as a chore, but think of their happy cute little faces when you finish. Plus, completing a project as a team gives you a good excuse to work together as a team.

Winter Date Night Ideas
Winter time has a magical way of curing lost romance. The cool temperatures make it natural to cuddle and hold each other.
My first date with my girlfriend happened a cool winter night in Disney Springs in Orlando. Ok, well, cold for Orlando, but even the tourists from the North had coats on.
We cuddled and held each other. It felt so natural and warm and default created sparks.
Check out some of these fun date night ideas (and daytime ideas) that you can do in your area.
Check out holiday decorations
One of my favorite places to drive to see houses decorated for the holidays is Celebration, Florida (and here are some other places in Central Florida to view Christmas lights)
Find new decorations and lights for the holidays this year (not online)
Snowball fight
Well, we can’t do this one in Florida.
Build a snow fort and play with nieces, nephews or neighbor’s kids
If I go back home up North I could do this.
Build an elaborate snowman
Snow sledding or tubing
Okay, so believe it or not, you can actually do this one in Florida. Check out Snow Cat Ridge in Dade City, Florida
Attend an ice sculpture festival

Holiday symphony and orchestra
For 2020 it’s hard to say how many of these will actually happen due to Covid but check out your local concert halls. Here in Central Florida, we have the Dr. Phillips Center.
Amusement/theme park during holidays
Obviously, this is a huge one for us Central Floridians. Theme parks during the holidays (NOT the last week and a half with insanely huge crowds) is hands-down the best time to go with all the festivities and decorations.
Set up a mini Christmas tree forest
Create your own winter wonderland together. Make sure to hang some mistletoe.
Summer Date Night Ideas
After several long months of frigged temperatures, flowers in bloom and walks in the park make for the perfect cure.
And these fun date night ideas (and daytime date ideas) are just what your relationship needs to revive fleeting romance.

Take spontaneous over night trip to the beach
Of course, in Florida, this is super easy to do. A few months back my girlfriend and I took a overnight trip to the Clearwater area and visited Honeymoon Island. A couple of months after that we took a trip to the Ft Myers area and visited Sanibel Island and Captiva Island.
But there are many beautiful lakes around the world to explore too. Check out this list of the top most beautiful lakes in the US or the best lakes in Canada.

Play a new board or card game
Our favorite two-player game is Cribbage.
Host wine tasting night
Invite other couples or friends over (just stay safe and use a mask while Covid still lingers). We have a our own wooden board for charcuterie or cheese boards. Invest in a set of white wine or red wine glasses.
Or host cocktail class with friends
You can even do this virtually if your friends have the tools, but it’s definitely more fun in person as they can try your libations first-hand.
Movie marathon
This one is somewhat normal, but if you just want to relax than fill up those wine glasses and put together a nice cheese board.
