Visit a Rock Climbing Gym
Nothing can be funnier than sweating together in a Gym. To add zest to your workout routine, consider taking a rock climbing session where you can climb together on different difficulty levels.
Raise those feel-good endorphins by getting in some exercise. Activities like rock climbing release endorphins and require couples to learn and understand teamwork skills and trust each other. You can motivate each other to push harder and complete the given difficult task.
Plan a Mini Getaway
If you aren’t up for traveling to a foreign country this Valentine’s, you can consider spending a mini holiday to some unique destinations. If you live nearby the sea, you can indulge in a boating ride or take a mini-cruise. You can consider taking cross-country skiing, Dogsledding, Ice skating, skiing, Sleigh rides, and snowboarding for people living close to colder places like Colorado.
Desert safari, long drive to romantic beaches, and exploring a different city can be other great ideas for a mini getaway.
Go on a Hike
Hiking can be one of the most fun outdoor activities when undertaken with your loved one. Exploring a new trail, traversing the local trail, or reaching a higher altitude can become a fun and engaging activity to do as a couple.
Either way, you’re guaranteed to see some stunning scenery, and you’ll have a chance to have a deep, meaningful conversation without any interruptions or distractions.
You can prepare quick snacks at home to take with you for the hike. Sandwiches, pasta salad, potato chips, chocolate chip cookies can provide enough energy to complete any strenuous hike.
Play Board Games
If you like spending time playing board games, sipping on wine, and talking endlessly about many things, then this should be your ultimate Valentine’s Day activity.
Put on your coziest pajamas, grab plenty of snacks, and grab a bottle of your favorite wine to play two-players board games like The Fox in the Forest, Twilight Struggle, Kingdomino/The Castles of Burgundy, Patchwork, Word board, and the classic Chess.
Get a Couples Massage
You can plan a romantic day at your nearest spa. Grab a day trip to Spa that includes a couple’s massage and access to Sauna, hot tubs, and indoor pools. Booking a couple’s entry is always cheaper than going solo.
Enjoy a full-day of pampering to relieve all of your tension and knots in the body. Doing things that you enjoy will only bring you closer and help strengthen your bond.
Enjoy a Stand-up Comedy Show
A study published in the journal Human Nature found that the very act of laughing together helps people open up.
You can check for a comedy show in your town and book a seat for two. Enjoy spending time laughing together and grabbing a delicious lunch or dinner in your favorite diner afterward this Valentine’s.
Go on a Bike Ride
If your city has some great biking trails, you can consider going on a mini-adventure on a bike. Physical exercise will help burn calories and release the much-needed endorphins.
As an alternative, you can take up spin class, try Yoga, or join dance cardio.
Go on a Shopping
If you both enjoy the day buying new stuff, then it’s time to go shopping. If your city has a vintage shop, you can also consider vintage shopping and embark on a scavenger hunt to find nostalgic items.
Visiting a local bookstore, attending a concert, and cooking each other’s favorite meals can be other great ideas for this Valentine’s day.
