I love sitting to play a new game with a snack and this is such a fun way to spend an afternoon or evening and mix it up a bit. Make it cute get dressed fun and plan to try a new game or a favourite!!
The Boardwalk Board Game Lounge
I love an escape room date night. Under $150 to eat out and do one game. Also so fun for a double date!! So fun to figure out a puzzle and maybe a bit of flirting while you’re at it☺️
Escape Room Newmarket
You do a little grocery shopping… a little window shopping… and then have a super cheap dinner. It’s honestly so fun especially if you go right before closing when no one else is there!! Then you can just enjoy walking around and leisurely shopping.

Any conservation area is good but this is my fav. Going for a walk outdoors on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon. Bring a bit of bird seed for the wildlife and just annoy nature together. Walk and talk and enjoy the peaceful outdoors.
Lynde Shores Conservation Area
this is so fun to go and actively skate with eachother. It’s active and you can explore new fun areas with paths. Can also do running or biking!
WHOME 31" Small Longboard Skateboard
Skating together, and laughing when your SO falls or shows off. Or if one doesn’t know how to skate it could be so fun to learn how and it’s such a satisfying way to spend an hour together.

I am no good at bowling but I have so much fun when with my husband!! He laughs at my gutterballs and I love watching him try fancy throws. So much fun and inexpensive!
Lakeview Bowl
Mini golf is another quick stop. Something fun to add onto a dinner date!! It tends to be quite competitive and a little flirty too. Always a fun one and it’s a plus if there’s a few arcade games as well!!
Whitby Putting Edge
Another educational one for me. But he loves teaching me golf because it’s something he loves. It’s also fun to push myself to do better at something that he enjoys so much. I love doing this one!
Byrnell Golf Club
Movie night at home is so fun!! Addin some extra blankets or lights into the room for ambiance and picking a movie you’ve wanted to watch together. No phones not distractions. Very enjoyable!

Homemade sushi as a date night is SO fun!! Especially if you already know you’ll enjoy said dish. It’s challenging and difficult but so satisfying. A great way to spend an evening with your spouse.
