Check out our list of 10 fun sober date ideas that will make your day special without risking your sobriety.
1) Go On A Picnic
Skip the expensive restaurants and pick out a nice spot in the park instead. You can shop for gourmet food from the store and non-alcoholic drinks that you can enjoy together. Put a little more effort by making a sign that says, “I love you” and decorate the picnic basket with flowers or balloons. This is not only a very romantic date but also really cute!
2) Karaoke Night
Karaoke is a lot of fun for everyone. You can go with your significant other or invite your friends along. Take this opportunity to belt out your favorite songs and even dedicate some cheesy tunes to your partner.
3) Ice Skating
If you live in a place where there is a nearby ice skating rink, this is the perfect opportunity to get out and do something active together. You can go for a quick skate or stay all night long and soak up the romantic atmosphere. Plus, it also gives you an excuse to hold on to each other!
4) Watch A Movie At Home
If you’re not up to going out, but still want to spend some quality time with your loved one, how about a movie marathon of the most romantic films you both love? You can stay in, order some delicious snacks, and enjoy watching movies that you’ll both love.
5) Volunteer
If you’re looking for sober date ideas that will help others this Valentine’s Day, then volunteer together at your local animal shelter or soup kitchen. Not only will it be fun to spend time together, but it’s also a great way to share the love with others.
6) Spend a Day at the Theme Park or Aquarium
Pick your favorite theme park and have a day of fun. You can ride all the rides you want and get an adrenaline rush without the need for drugs or alcohol. If you’re not a rollercoaster lover, another alternative is to visit an aquarium for a much calmer atmosphere.
7) Try Out An Extreme Sport
Want to go beyond your limits? If you’re both adventure seekers, trying out an extreme sport like bungee jumping, skydiving or rock climbing is a great way to bond with each other while trying something new.
8) Go on A Foodtruck Tour
A food truck tour is the perfect solution when you’re looking for a fun, inexpensive, and delicious date. You can go from one truck to another tasting all kinds of dishes without spending a fortune. This is a great date idea for foodies and Top Chef fans!
9) Spend a Day at the Spa
Skip the crowded bar and party scene and book a spa day with your favorite person instead. You can soak up the hot tub and relax in a warm cozy environment. Believe us, the gift of relaxation will definitely make your partner’s day.
10) Book a Staycation Weekend
If you want something a bit more special, booking a staycation weekend at a hotel or resort is another great way to celebrate Valentine’s. If a hotel is too fancy, there are scenic Airbnb properties that offer more affordable rates.
Staying in a hotel gives you the chance to have a change of scenery and escape for some peace and quiet. Plus, it’s also a great opportunity for some intimate time alone with each other!
