These busses have different stops and multiple busses driving through these stops throughout the day.

When you purchase a ticket, you can ride the bus to a stop you want to explore, and then get on a different bus and ride to the next stop! It’s a great way to explore your city and enjoy a day of travel.

Have your own wine tasting

Going wine tasting is a ton of fun, but having your own is even better.

Play a game of pool at the pub

Put your 8-Ball skills to the test by taking a group out for some pool!

Play charades

This is such a silly game, and it’s sure to be entertaining with a group of four!

It’s interesting what some people choose to act out! Very interesting.

Sailing

Going sailing is peaceful beyond believe and absolutely surreal.

You can make it a short trip after school, or pack some food to eat out on the water and spend the whole day out there! J

ust make sure you’re only going out all day during the summer. Don’t skip class… often! I’m really just kidding.

Drive in Movies

This is such a classic and timeless date.

Pack your car full of snacks and goodies and find a drive in movie by you! If you don’t know of any, bring a laptop and drive to a pretty park. Remember to bring lots of blankets and popcorn!

Go shopping at the mall

The mall is a great place to hang out and have a fun date.

You can go shopping for a while, take a break and get something to eat at the food court, and maybe even catch a movie later on! You can spend a lot of money, or none at all. It’s a great option for a quick and easy date.

Try an escape room

These are difficult – no lie – but if you’ve got a team of four, you’ll definitely get out!

Work together to solve puzzles and riddles to escape before your time runs out. You’ll probably escape if you use teamwork! Probably.

Comedy Club

Laughter really is the best medicine. Go out with your date and another couple after a hard week of work for a great night off.

This is a great way to enjoy some time with people you love and destress after a packed week!

Paint and wine night

Yes, these really are as fun as they sound. Find a place that hosts paint and wine nights and grab your people!
