  Cool date options add a lot of fun to an evening for a couple that has just met and are experiencing a first date, or one that is married and looks forward to the special evenings alone. There are many fun and creative ideas available that will provide a memorable date night. Trying new and creative dates will also open up more options for future nights out.
  
  

Adventure-filled Dates

• People who want to add a bit more adventure to a date may want to consider going rollerblading or to a local skate park. Beginners can learn how to skate together and bond while experiencing something new. Another fun adventure would be to explore a cave or cavern. Many areas have guided tours that lead visitors far below the earth's surface. A hot air balloon ride is a lot of fun and provides scenic views. Some couples may even enjoy mountain climbing or a nature hike.
  
  

Food Dates

• There are many options for food-loving couples. Plan the date around a new type of cuisine that neither individual has tried before. Test the limits with a spicier food than normal. Another great food date idea is to attend one of the murder mystery dinners. There is a dinner served and clues provided throughout the evening to solve the mystery.
  
  

Theme Dates

• Planning a theme date is fun and can add something new to a couple's evening. Use a foreign country as a theme and create a meal that represents the country of choice, or go to a restaurant that serves that particular type of cuisine. Spend the evening listening to music and learning the language of the chosen region. Plan a luau and decorate the backyard with tiki torches and floral decorations. Some couples may even wish to wear swimming suites and leis.
  
  

Educational Date

• An educational date allows a couple to learn or experiences something new. Take a yoga class or visit a museum. Planetariums are a good place to learn about the planets and stars, or a aquarium visit will educate both individuals about the many endangered creatures living in the ocean. Many local factories offer tours of the facility and educate visitors on how a product is made.
