5 first date ideas that aren’t just dinner and a movie

Grab your someone special, we’re shaking up date night and throwing out the stale dinners for fun and flirty fun.

Catching up with creatures
Adventure Aquarium
The aquarium is not just for kids, especially this one. Explore the depths of the two million gallons of tanks crawling with creatures like sharks, stingrays, starfish and more. Get up close and personal with the critters at one of the many touch tanks, or make your trip extra special with an encounter – you can meet the aquarium’s resident hippos, Genny and Button, or swim with actual sharks and stingrays. Also, what beats watching adorable penguins hop around for a bit?

Soothing soulmates
Borgata Hotel
Lay back and relax at Borgata Hotel & Spa with a day at the spa featuring couples massages, skin care treatments and scrubs – the hotel even provides a line of treatments using CBD. And if you do want to end your date with a night on the town, stop by the Salon or the Barbershop for a touch up.

The perfect soundtrack
Hard Rock Hotel
Let the music carry you away for a romantic night of live entertainment throughout the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Not only does the hotel boast an arena stage where big-time musicians like Zac Brown Band (April 25 & 26) and Kelly Clarkson (May 9) perform, but there are live performances happening throughout the hotel. Stop by Lobby Bar for live music on Wednesdays, Council Oak Lounge for performances on Fridays and the classic Hard Rock Cafe for a variety of musical guests.

Not your grandmother’s art museum
Grounds For Sculpture
See art come to life on the 42 acres of Grounds For Sculpture filled with sculptures that stretch from a few feet tall to several stories high. Take some photos with the two women hanging out on a 20-foot-tall bench or step into a famous Renoir painting come to life. Plus, if you do get peckish, you can always visit Rat’s Restaurant for a meal overlooking the breathtaking Monet Bridge.
