FREE Valentine's Day date ideas

1. Take a Hike

Throw on your sneakers, head to the yadkin river and go on a hiking date. If you and your boo happen to be morning people, make it a sunrise hike—don’t forget to take some social media shots.

2. Check out the West Davidson Public Library Valentine’s Day party

3. Eat Samples at Costco or Sam’s Club (It’s worth the drive to Winston)

Feeling hungry but don’t want to splurge on a restaurant date? Head over to a local food market or food festival with your date and snack on some delicious samples. Low-key, Costco works, too.

4. Explore a New Neighborhood

Be a tourist in your own city! It’ll feel great to spend a day with no inhibitions and hey, the date practically plans itself!

5. Plan a Game Night

This is the perfect free group date activity. Split up into teams and let the dice (and the good times) roll. Might I suggest axe hole if you have money to spare?

6. Vist a museum

Look online for times that local museums offer free admission and roam around with your special someone, picking out your favorite pieces or exhibits. You can also request a tour with the staff.

7. Make it a Lake day

Take a dip, make a sandcastle, play a game of beach volleyball or just chill out together while soaking up some sun. If you do spend money on anything, make it sunscreen or an afternoon treat.

8. Have a Movie Marathon

Pop some popcorn, cuddle up together on the couch and start up a movie marathon, a.k.a. a Netflix & chill.
