As the weather begins to get a little colder, it’s time to throw some heat on your next date night to keep your numero uno nice and warm. Thankfully, you find yourself on the Gold Coast and there are a complete plethora of activities to keep both looking at each other like you did the first time you met.

Whether you’re wooing your long time boo or your latest Tinder swipe, here are some ridiculously cute, a little retro and challenging date nights to get amongst this Winter:

Mini Golf
Golf can be a horrible sport. So shorten the course, throw in a couple of hilarious obstacles and a par that is achievable and bam, you have a date night dream rolled into one. Putt Putt at Mermaid Beach has three courses for you and your bae to fiercely fight it out and crown a mini golf champion!

Ten Pin Bowling
Another classic date night you giant romantic, though still a goodie! Get you and boo into some well-worn bowling shoes and get your perfect bowl game happening. Impress with your utter rubbish gutter ball game and let them win. Or don’t and send it hard. Check out Surfers Paradise Ten Pin Bowling for a little neon action for extra date night points.

Drive-In Movies
Do you want to kick it like your parents did? There is nothing like the magic of the big screen, unless you are catching the best of Hollywood from the comfort of your car with your lover. Stock up on movie snacks and pimp out the boot, this is the best way to catch some of the best of the big screen. Check out Yatala Drive In to see what’s on.

Epic Skate Rink
Yeah, you could roll around showing off your old-skool skate tricks… Or you and babe number one could join competing Roller Derby teams and battle it out in the ring? Or just take it easy with some learn-to-skate classes, up to you. The team at Epic Skate Rink will get you kitted up with what you need.
