Medieval Times

There’s nothing like beer wenches, turkey legs and good old fashioned, strategically choreographed sword fighting to put you in the mood for love. Go green knight!

 

Hot Air Balloon Ride

As long as you both aren’t afraid of heights, this can be a great way to woo your valentine and show her the sights. Plus, you’re sure to have some private time with her since she can’t exactly ditch you.


Psychic Reading

Is true love really in the cards for you two? Why not take the matter to a psychic to decide once and for all? Even if you don’t believe in all that mystic mumbo jumbo, you’re sure to have a few laughs letting someone else decide your future.


Wine Tasting

Napa and Santa Barbara are great spots for a romantic weekend getaway where you can enjoy some one-on-one time AND booze it up on a tour of the vineyards. Even if you can’t make the trip, local wine shops often hold tastings that should do the trick. Nothing says, “I love you” like a glass of vino.


Cooking Class

This is a date that’s fun and useful since the cooking recipes and techniques you both learn can lead to some pretty steamy dinner dates in the future. Wielding a blow torch for that perfect crème brulée shell will surely score you big points with that special someone.



Rent A Luxury Car

Just because you can’t afford a fancy car to impress your date doesn’t mean you can’t drive one. Cozy up in a Porsche Boxster or, better yet, pick your date up in a vintage Rolls with a hired driver… hey, you might as well do it right.


Rock Climbing or Hiking

If you’re looking for a fun but affordable date, let the great outdoors provide the entertainment. A romantic sunset at the end of a hike or even a nice view of your dates posterior as he or she climbs a mountainside should be reward enough.


Go-Kart Racing

Feel the need to speed things up with the one you love? Take it to the track and rev up your engines while letting your competitive sides create all the sexual tension great dates are made
of. Vroom vroom.


Casino Night

Get lucky in more ways than one this Valentine’s Day by spicing things up and taking your date to a local casino (there are actually more places to hit the tables besides Vegas, people). Love is all about taking risks, after all, so give your gal tips on playing craps or show your man the ropes on the black jack tables. You might lose some dough, but you’ll win your date’s heart.


Shooting Range

Take a shot at love at a local shooting range. Improve your hand-eye coordination and have an excuse to get close as you teach your date how to shoot. Prices for gun rental and ammunition start at less than $25.


Swimming With Dolphins
seaworld.com
Seaworld is the only place close by where you can swim with dolphins. Take your date on a wonderful underwater adventure as you swim with, feed, touch and splash around with the friendliest of oceanic creatures.


Skydiving

Freefall into love as you experience the most extreme date of your life. Get your date’s heart pounding as you freefall out of a plane for 70 seconds and canopy for seven to nine minutes. Feel the rush as you steer the parachute with an accompanied trainer. Also get priceless photos or videos of your dive to relive the adventure all over again.
