Traveling by cable car is one of the most unique ways you'll ever get from point A to point B. You also get to see the mountainside and all its surroundings like you've never seen them before. If you live in a mountain community, then a cable car date is a must-do thing for every couple at least once. If you don't live anywhere near the mountains, plan a road trip or fly to the nearest mountain. The breathtaking view from the cable car is more than enough reason why you should travel far to take advantage of this spectacular date opportunity.

Making igloos and snow forts are the perfect winter dates that are sure to create memories that last forever. Make sure to snap plenty of pictures of your snow creation process as well as the final result so you can look back at it during the warm summer months and remember what you did while the snow was falling.

The hot drink will warm your chilled bones and enable you to spend more time outside working on your snowy project together. Don't be surprised if this activity turns into a snowball fight!

Inline skating is fun because it gives you a chance to enjoy the great outdoors together. Parks are great places to go rollerblading, but anywhere with a sidewalk will do. Couples seeking ways to increase their cardiovascular exercise can take advantage of all of the movement rollerblading offers.

Enjoy the scenery, the fresh air, and spending the day with your spouse.

The conversation has a way of flowing like the river water once you're out there and enjoying yourself.

Going to a medieval festival is an excellent idea if you're the type of couple that likes to dress up. A knight in shining armor and a princess is what you two were meant to be.

Check out the shows and displays and pick something out from one of the shops to remember your fun medieval festival date.

It might take a little searching, but there's probably a psychic in your area. It's not essential if you believe what the psychic says. You're there to have a fun date night, and sometimes it's more fun if the psychic goes off and talks crazy stuff. Ask the psychic what they see in your future. If you're lucky, it'll be one of those psychics that use a crystal ball or tarot cards. If there are no psychics in your area, you can call one up and put them on speakerphone.

Riding dirt bikes is a great date for anyone who has a sense of adventure or is looking for something out of their comfort zone.

Orienteering is where you follow a course with the aid of a map and a compass for those of you who don't know.

You aren't going to time yourself, but it is fun to challenge yourselves to see how quickly you can run the course. You can run the course as a couple or go solo to see who has the best time. You might want to run the course together for the first time so that you both know what you're in for. Also, it will be exciting to see how the other reacts to the course that will challenge you in every way possible.

A date first thing in the morning starts the day off right. If the two of you are early birds, then you're already awake when the sun comes up. If not, watching the sunrise might be even more special. Go out on the back porch or in the parking lot and watch the sun come up. Climbing a mountain or heading to the beach can make it even more beautiful. The best sunrise date is to eat breakfast in bed before or after the sun rises. One of you can treat the other and cook breakfast and enjoy the meal while lying in bed. Or if you're away from home why not turn it into a picnic? Don't forget to take some beautiful photos while you're at it.

What is spelunking? Spelunking or caving is where you walk through or explore a cave. Usually, spelunking is done with a group that is led by someone experienced with the cave. Trekking through a cave can be dangerous, so make sure you're prepared and with the right people. The interesting thing about walking in a cave is that you get to walk through the earth's history. It's hard to believe that areas like these exist all over the world beneath our feet. If the cave has a gift shop, you might want to consider buying a souvenir, so you always have something to remember your cave excursion date.

Hiking is something you can do at your local park, or you can also do it in the wilderness. City parks are a sanctuary for city dwellers as they offer up a rare opportunity to see wildlife not far from the concrete jungle. All you need is a comfortable pair of shoes and the desire to walk to turn hiking into a great date. Bring along a lunch, and you've got yourself a picnic in the open outdoors.

The expression on both of your faces will be pure ecstatic when you rise to the water and first look at the other.

Horseback riding connects humans and animals in a way that few things can. A horse is a majestic animal, and many city folks have no idea of how real these words are. Inexperienced couples can receive horseback riding lessons before heading off to the big trail. The real fun happens when the two of you can connect with the animals. When you share a bond with the horses, that's when your date takes a turn. You'll understand why people have been so fond of horses after just one horseback ride. Every horse has its own personality, and you'll learn that the longer you're taking it for a ride.

True rock climbing is an outdoor activity, but there are some indoor places where you can practice rock climbing too.

Everyone has a mental bucket list of sorts, and it's essential to clear off as many items as possible. It's good to express these desires by writing down your bucket list and it's the perfect thing to share with your spouse. As a date, write down individual lists or a shared list that you want to work on. You can even add categories or make separate lists that are themed. Then take your lists and plan dates around checking things off. Your bucket lists are going to change as you age, and you'll have to modify them accordingly. Always keep each other up-to-date as to what's on your bucket list so you can continue planning dates and checking things off together.

Are you a couple who has strong political convictions? If so, political canvassing can help your cause. Politics on the retail level is all about bumping shoulders and burning shoe leather.

You'll feel a sense of accomplishment, and you'll also get to spend time with the person you love more than anyone else in this world.

Riding quads brings the great outdoors to you. Riding a quad on a path is the modern-day equivalent to riding a horse. The two of you can go down the path side by side or single file.

By going off the beaten path, you explore the world around you while also getting away from all the hustle and bustle that life has to offer.

Those who enjoy the great outdoors will love going out on a date to do a little wildlife spotting. National parks are great places where you can walk around and see all kinds of wild animals. You shouldn't try to spot things such as bears unless you are prepared to defend yourself if one comes a little too close. Bird watching, insect watching, and looking for small animals is always fun. Even a stroll through a national park that doesn't turn up any significant wildlife is still a fantastic date. You get to spend time with each other and hopefully chat it up while walking around.

The polar bear plunge is where you jump into a body of water during the wintertime. You jump into a lake or a pond when it's cold and then go swimming. You might just find that you're jumping out faster than you jumped in. Make sure you do this safely and be prepared with towels and anything else you'll need to get warm and dry. It used to be thought that entering cold water like that was good for your immune system. If there's one thing that's for sure, plunging into ice-cold water will make you come alive as nothing else will. You will always remember the look on each other's faces (and accompanying gasps or screams) when they entered the water and then came out. Challenge each other to do this fun activity which you'll likely remember forever.

Your creative side comes to light when you're body painting. Take turns painting each other and see what kind of funky designs you can come up with. It might be fun to have a theme such as nature, or animal prints, or whatever. The point is to add a new dimension to the body painting to make it even more exciting. If you want to have even more fun after painting each other, step into the shower together and wash the paint off. It might take a little scrubbing to get the paint off, but both of you will end up laughing up a storm at the mess the two of you made.

A gem hunting date can consist of many different things. You're not very likely to find gems of much value wherever you go, but the fact that you find them yourselves makes it worth it. There are some diamond fields where you can scour the land and try to find diamonds for a flat rate. You might pay by the hour or by the day to comb through the area to find diamonds. Some mines will allow you to go in and search for precious gems for a fee as well. The exciting thing about gem hunting is you never know what you're going to find. You might find a gem worth thousands of dollars, or you could walk away with nothing. It's all about the thrill of the hunt, and that's what makes this date so exciting.

Bungee jumping is an adrenaline junkie's dream come true. The feeling of falling towards the earth and then immediately being jolted back is something that words can't explain.

The sound of the others screaming as they plunge is something you will never forget. The rush is so intense that you may find yourselves trying to race each other back to the top to do it all over again.

Yarn bombing is where you take yarn and cover outdoor objects with it in artistic ways. Be creative and search for things that would look so out of place if they were covered in yarn. The more unique the item is, the more fun it is to cover with yarn. If you're really feeling adventurous, you can crochet around the item you're yarn bombing. The fun thing to do here is for both of you to search for things that you can yarn bomb. If you want to go out of your way, yarn bomb a friend who will think it's hilarious to see an item of theirs covered in yarn. The look on their face will be priceless when they see what you've done. Just search online for some inspiration on what you might do.

Turning your car buying adventure into a date isn't as far fetched as it sounds. You can go to several different dealerships and drive the vehicle of your dreams. Even if you're not in the market to buy a car, you can take one out for a test drive. An entire day can be spent doing nothing but testing out cars. Take turns testing out cars and talk about the features you like and dislike about the vehicles. Test drive a few cars that may not appeal to you immediately to see if they can change your mind. Who knows, you might find yourself enjoying driving a station wagon over an SUV.

A zipline can get your adrenaline flowing like nothing else can. If you're on a high mountain top, then it's going to be a wild ride down. Ziplines are addictive and don't be surprised if you want to do it more than once. Try to enjoy the view while you're going down the zipline. It might be difficult at first if you're afraid of heights, but the view is almost always spectacular. The ride usually doesn't last very long, but it's those seconds to a few minutes of heart-pounding excitement that people find so addictive. The thrill of being so high up there and the speed that you get to the other side makes it so incredibly fun.

A hot-air balloon ride is the adventure of a lifetime. Your date can consist of one of those hot-air balloon rides that only go up in the air or you can hover over your city. A date that neither one of you will ever forget is what a hot-air balloon ride is. The view of the world from high above is one that draws you together. There's something romantic about being so high up and looking down at the world. The perfect opportunity to lean in for a kiss is when the two of you are floating high above while in awe about what's going on down below.

A trip to a national park is a great adventure. After you get to the park, that's when the real fun begins. There's hiking, fishing, rafting, bird watching and other outdoor activities that are enjoyable at a national park. Some parks even allow you to go camping. The fun you have in a national park can last a few hours or even a few days. Bring along a picnic for a short stay or camping gear for a weekend adventure. National parks usually have free or low-cost entry fees. Be sure to follow all the laws and rules for any activities that you may be doing. The fresh air, nature, and togetherness that you share will make for such an enjoyable experience. Nature has a way of bringing people together and stripping away all the negative things about life, so you can enjoy each other for who you are.

A little weekend getaway or a full-blown vacation are both great ideas for a date. If you don't have that much free time to work with, go on an evening road trip. The whole point is, get out there with the person you love and enjoy some scenery. Traveling is something couples do to learn about each other. You get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and allow each other to explore who you really are. Traveling is always more about learning about yourselves than it is about sightseeing. You never come back the same person as you left when you travel. Your relationship will change, and you will know each other on a much deeper level after traveling together.

Snorkeling is a great way to explore shallow waters with your spouse. Coral reefs, for example, are beautiful places where two people can enjoy themselves. Go down into the water with a game plan to see as many fish as you can. Turn your snorkeling adventure into a game by trying to spot a specific type of fish while you're down there. Go over a few hand gestures before you down so that you're able to communicate with each other while you're underwater. The best areas for snorkeling are those with clean waters and plenty of wildlife.

Tidepooling is a lot of fun because you never know what's going to be in the water. If you're new to the beach, then finding areas where the tide pools are is a lot of fun. Anything that gets you to walk on the beach and near the water is a total blast. It's rare, but sometimes you can find all kinds of fish or maybe even a crab in a tide pool. If nothing else, it's fun to go on a date and walk around in the water without wearing any shoes. Be sure to look up the local laws and rules on the wildlife that may be present. But have fun, splash the water and have a great time enjoying your day at the beach.

Face painting is a lot of fun if you're at a park or an event where someone is offering to do it. However, the real fun is when you paint each other's faces. You can order face paint online, or it can be bought from any costume shop. Imagine the laughs when you see how your spouse painted your face. Will you be able to go outside without bursting out laughing? An artistic touch isn't needed since sometimes the funniest designs are made by those who have no creativity whatsoever.

Going canoeing can be an all-day adventure or something you do for a few hours. For the ultimate canoeing date, bring along a lunch and eat it in the wilderness. The summer months are the best time to go canoeing, but it's an activity that you can do as long as the weather is nice. Each of you will have fun learning how to row in sync with each other. It takes a little practice, but before too long, you'll be rowing together in a matter of no time. Canoeing enables you to connect to the great outdoors while also enjoying a few precious moments together.

For those of you who don't know, rappelling is when you go down the side of a mountain using a rope. Think of rappelling as being the opposite of mountain climbing. Rappelling allows you to experience the height and beauty of a mountain without having the difficult journey of climbing up it. You get to bounce around on the rope until you're all the way down to the very bottom. Those couples who enjoy outdoor adventures will get the most out of rappelling. Rappelling does require some equipment and training, so do your research and determine the best way to be safe and have a great time. If you really want to turn your rappelling into something special, go camping afterward to get the most of being in the great outdoors.

The entire goal of paintball is to see how many times you can hit your target. Who is your target? Well, it's you and your spouse! If shooting each other is too much for either of you to handle, then you can do a little target practice. It will be fun to see who can hit the target the most with the paintballs. If you're feeling adventurous, then hunt each other in a warlike manner until all of your paintballs are gone. The winner will be the person who has the least amount of paint on them. There's something so fun about shooting each other with paintballs that it might become a regular date night activity. If you have your own equipment you can play with just the two of you or a small group of friends. Or if not, find a place that offers paintball and provides everything you need including the venue itself.

Enjoying the great outdoors while being out on the water is what kayaking is all about. You can either both be in the same kayak or go down the stream in separate kayaks. Kayaking takes very little skill, and even an outdoor novice can get the hang of it in a mere matter of minutes. Kayaking is an excellent form of exercise; it enables you to be close to nature and spend time with your spouse. For the ultimate kayaking date, go exploring, pack a lunch and enjoy a picnic while out in the middle of nowhere.
