Dating is the perfect way to get to know a new partner. It’s also one of the most effective ways of nurturing a long-term relationship. Great date nights give you a chance to focus on your relationship. You may even discover new things about your special someone, and make memories together that you’ll cherish.
One of the best ways to add some intrigue to your date nights is to focus on less traditional date night activities. The following activities allow you to have fun, explore interests, and share special experiences with your partner. Let’s explore unique ways to enjoy a fantastic date night in Charlotte.
1. Glow-In-The-Dark Fun
When you spend a date night at Monster Mini Golf in Charlotte, you’re spending it at a place devoted to fun. Our glow-in-the-dark mini golf course features monsters that will keep you on your toes with unexpected movements. They even talk!
You can also enjoy our other attractions once you successfully navigate all the intriguing hazards on the golf course. We have several attractions you can combine, which means you can return for future date nights, and shake up your itinerary each time you visit.
Arcade
Our arcade is an excellent place to spend time while you’re on a date. The arcade gives you a chance to show off your gaming skills. The added bonus is that you can take the tickets you earn from playing arcade games, and trade them in for a date night gift for your partner. Prizes include stuffed animals, wacky glasses, monster-ific jewelry, and electronic gadgets.
Laser Maze
The laser maze favors those with flexibility, and good communication with teammates. The goal is to get your team through the laser beams without breaking them. Oh, and you must complete the maze before your time runs out. You and your partner can play this together, and enjoy the opportunity to coach each other through the maze. You and your partner can also enjoy some friendly competition playing against each other.
Mini Bowling
Mini bowling is a fantastic activity for those who love to bowl and those new to the sport. It is a shorter game because it features five frames instead of 10, making it an excellent attraction to combine with other activities. The lanes are also shorter, making it easier to knock down pins.
2. “I Spy” Fun in Charlotte
Going on a scavenger hunt with your date is a fantastic way to see Charlotte, and make lasting memories. A scavenger hunt walking tour is an excellent date night idea because it takes you to familiar sights as well as lesser-known places of interest. This means you and your partner will get to discover new sights in Charlotte while spending time together.
One of the great things about going on a scavenger hunt together is that the Charlotte Scavenger Hunt Walking Tour is self-directed, so you don’t have to worry about getting grouped with other people who could affect your experience. You can do the tour with your partner, or enjoy a group date with one or two other couples for the same price.
3. Soar to New Heights Together
Experiencing firsts together is a great way to make lasting memories. Indoor skydiving is a fantastic option because it’s a safe way to soar to new heights. Experienced instructors will help you learn to fly, and you’ll enjoy a one-of-a-kind thrilling experience that will get your adrenaline pumping.
Indoor skydiving is a great activity you can revisit, and as your skills improve, you can learn to do tricks.
4. Experience the Impossible
The Museum of Illusions features exhibits that play with your perception of reality. Exhibits you can visit include the following:
- Illusion rooms: Their illusion rooms can turn your world upside down, and make you seem bigger or smaller than you really are. Enter rooms where perspective alters reality, and rooms defy the laws of nature.
- Images: You’ll see different things depending on how you look at their images. The images give you and your partner the perfect opportunity to talk about what you see, and what else you can see if you look at the image in a different way. The best part? What you think you see may not even be what you’re actually seeing.
- Installations: Their installations will continue to challenge your perspective and defy the laws of nature. They provide an incredible way to interact with the world around you and experience the unthinkable.
Immersing yourselves in mind-bending exhibits gives you plenty to talk about and unique memories of an unforgettable experience.
5. A Twist on a Classic Date Night
Instead of opting for dinner and a movie, consider dinner and a concert or comedy show. Or after dinner, you can surprise your date with a fun twist by signing up for a pottery or photography class, which will allow you to enjoy new experiences with your partner.
Enjoy the Perfect Date With Your Partner
Incredible date nights involve spending time enjoying your favorite fun activities. Monster Mini Golf in Charlotte offers multiple ways to mix and match attractions, so you can return and enjoy a new experience each time.
Trying new activities is another great way to get to know more about yourself, and your partner. You can also combine mini golf, indoor skydiving, a scavenger hunt, and a museum trip with lunch or dinner to enjoy a combination of traditional and non-traditional activities with your date.
