blog 24You and your significant other have worked hard lately—it’s time to treat yourselves to a little fun and romance. Or maybe you’ve been waiting to ask out that special someone. Now is the perfect time because you have some great options. Whether you’re aiming to celebrate a long-term relationship or you’re trying to spark a new romance, Priority Toyota has developed a list of exciting date night ideas for the Chesapeake area.

The Tried and True: Cinema Café at Greenbrier Mall

Most people have been to the movies on a date, but fewer can claim to have enjoyed a full-course meal served by a professional wait staff while enjoying their cinematic experience. At the Cinema Café in Greenbrier Mall, you and your date select from a full menu, including alcoholic beverages. Tell your date to bring an appetite and you can both sit back, relax, and chow down while a new release flashes before your eyes.

A Walk through the Park Is Always Memorable

Great Bridge Locks Park is actually an island, so you have plenty of alone time together. Walk about the island and relish the fresh, cool air flowing off the water. This is part of the National Parks Service’s network of “Chesapeake Bay Getaways”. You and your date can also learn how the park is of historical significance to the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Best of all, you can go for free!

Who Doesn’t Love a Good Boat Ride?

If you want to sweep your date off his or her feet, then put those feet firmly on a boat deck. There are several professional agencies that would be happy to help you plan an unforgettable boating adventure. Charter vessels take you out to Chesapeake Bay and into the Atlantic Ocean where you and your partner enjoy the swell of the water and the lap of the waves.

If you’re looking for something more adventurous, arrange for a fishing excursion, all equipment included. Toss out a line, pour a drink, and wait for those fish to bite as you snuggle into a seat with your date.

Show Your Cultured Side at the Theater

The New Theater of Chesapeake hosts a variety of shows performed by a top-class professional theater troupe. If your date is a fan of musicals, you’re in luck. The Theater mostly puts on music-based productions. If musicals aren’t your preference, catch a comedy or drama. New Theater aims to spread the love of performance, so they keep their prices low and affordable, making your date night less strenuous on the pocketbook.

Go Far Out

If you and your date are inclined towards brainier activities, try spending an afternoon at the Chesapeake Planetarium. They take you on a journey through the mysteries and beauty of space. Get behind one of the high-powered telescopes and watch the stars come alive. This is a great option no matter what the weather outside is doing. It’s always a beautiful night inside the planetarium.
