Fun Date Night Ideas for Couples

Fun Couples’ Date Ideas

1. Retro Date Nights 

Video games are popular activities, with over 83% of people playing video games on a console, computer, or smartphone. For many, enjoying video games begins with playing arcade games, which is why heading to the arcade is an excellent idea for your next date night. Gastonia’s Monster Mini Golf indoor arcade combines the best features of arcades and carnivals! Our arcade games include retro and contemporary favorites, such as:

• Basketball Hoops
• Down the Clown
• Glow Air Hockey
• Jurassic Park
• Prize Cranes
• Skee Ball
• Spongebob Squarepants

Arcade games are fun activities, and when you visit our arcade, you don’t have to go to a carnival to win a stuffed animal, goofy glasses, or other prizes for your partner. You can trade in all the tickets you earn while playing and claim a prize! 

2. Low-Key Activity Nights 

Low-impact activities are a fantastic option when planning a date night. Miniature golf and mini bowling are perfect for players young and young at heart. Plus, both novices and experts can enjoy these activities.

Our mini golf course features fun hazards you must shoot around on each of the 18 holes. Plus, our course is glow-in-the-dark and filled with animatronic monsters who move!

Mini bowling features smaller bowling balls that are easier to throw. Plus, the shorter lanes make aiming and knocking down the pins easier when you play!

3. Couples’ Date Night

Hosting occasional couples’ date nights is a great idea because it gives you and your special someone a chance to connect with other couples and enjoy a fun-filled night out with friends. Monster Mini Golf in Gastonia offers group event packages, allowing you to save money and enjoy mini golf and more! 

All our event packages include a private Haunted Mansion event room, a round of mini golf, and arcade vouchers. Use the private room to play fun games, such as:

• Apples to Apples
• Never Have I Ever
• This or That
• Two Truths and a Lie

You can also play other low-impact indoor games, such as cornhole and ladder toss. Plus, depending on which package you choose, you’ll all get a chance to take on our laser maze! Can you make it through without breaking the beams? Find out when you book The Beast group event package for your next couples’ date night.

4. Couples Outing and Movie Nightcap

Suppose your special someone is an extrovert and loves hanging out with friends. The good news is that there’s no shortage of ways to structure a couples’ date night. Suppose you don’t plan ahead for a group event. Drop into Monster Mini Golf to play any of the following:

• Mini golf
• Mini bowling
• Arcade games
• Laser maze

After you finish your activities, one of the couples can host everyone at their house for a movie. Enjoying a comedy with a group of friends can be a great way to enjoy a couples’ date night.

5. Enjoy a Picnic 

Whether you spread a blanket and enjoy a picnic at a park or in your backyard, a picnic is a fun, intimate activity you can enjoy with your partner. Pack up their favorite picnic foods so you can eat, talk, and relax. Pack a deck of cards or other games you and your partner enjoy playing. Plus, picnics are great opportunities for stargazing or birdwatching, depending on the time of day!

6. Explore New Activities

Sign up for classes so you and your partner can learn new skills and explore different activities. Perhaps you’ve always wanted to try your hand at pottery. Maybe your partner wants to try yoga. Signing up for a class to explore new activities together is a great way to learn about yourself and your partner. And new activities don’t have to involve classes! Maybe you’ve never tried bowling. Plan a mini bowling date night and enjoy trying this activity with your partner.
