Boston is one of those great cities where you can do anything at almost any time. Going on a date in Boston couldn’t be easier, because no matter what you like to do, you can find it in one of the city’s exciting and diverse neighborhoods. Whether it’s dining, sports, culture, comedy, or history, there is always something fun and exciting to do every day of the week.
Here are some suggestions for dates when dinner and a movie have gotten boring, and you’ve binge-watched all your favorite television series:
1.Take a Walk on the Esplanade to Harvard Square
Sometimes, the most fun activities are the ones right under your nose. Do the touristy walk along the Esplanade and discover festivals during the warmer months, and admire the foliage during the fall. You never know what you might find.
2. Check Out Paint Nite
Got a knack for painting? Check out Paint Nite if you like to indulge your artistic side and have a few cocktails at the same time. You’ll get points for originality, and who knows? You might wind up with your very own gallery show. No experience or supplies are necessary. Just be prepared to have fun.
3. Cruise to the Harbor Islands
Outdoor enthusiasts love to take short cruises to the Harbor Islands where you can camp during the summer, rent kayaks, or just walk around admiring the most gorgeous views of the city.
4. Re-Visit Your Childhood at Legoland
If you miss the days of building things with Lego blocks, you’re in luck. Legoland holds Adult Night on the third Wednesday of every month, starting at 6 pm. Be a kid again without worrying about any real kids, and then go out for cocktails and dinner. It’s the best of both worlds without needing your parents’ permission.
5. Indulge In a Luxe Movie Experience
The Showcase SuperLux Theatre gives you the opportunity to turn dinner-and-a-movie on its ear. Enjoy a gourmet meal, cocktails, and a first-run movie, all from a plush, reclining seat with other adult amenities. It’s adults only, so you’ll never have to worry about kids kicking your seat.
6. Visit the Franklin Park Zoo
The Franklin Park Zoo is a great date venue, especially during the off-season when you can warm up in the indoor Tropical Forest exhibit. The temperature is kept at a balmy 72 degrees year-round, and you get to visit with ocelots, mandrills, lowland gorillas, and other exotic animals.
