Just like that particular brand of breakfast cereal that promises to cater to your inner child while satiating your adult need to eat healthy, Chicago has plenty to offer those who want to plan a fun date that is also all about da love that never needs dressing up! Take a look at some of these fabulous fun and romantic dating ideas and see what sparks your interest!
Drive-Ins and Car Hops
Remember the excitement you had as a kid about going to a place like this? Well, now that you’re all grown up, you may think eating in the car is a major faux pas, but not so! You’re responsible enough not to get mustard on the seats, aren’t ya? Well then, let’s do this! There are a couple of these rare gems left around Chicago, and if the weather is cooperating, you two just might want to relive your youth, even if only for an hour or two!
Carnivals and Theme Parks
What girl doesn’t swoon over her man winning her a teddy bear? And how completely liberating and exhilarating is it to take that plunge 70 stories down at breakneck speeds? And admit it – even you fraidy cats like it when Frankenstein jumps out at you in a haunted house! Chicago is host to many carnivals throughout the summer, many for charitable causes, on top of full-scale theme parks just a short drive away. And you know what? Food always seems to taste better when served on a stick, even if it isn’t all that healthy.
Bowling Alleys, Arcades and Miniature Golf
So you’re not the most athletically inclined. Who cares at places like these! The idea of these games is not to win or lose, but to honestly have fun… and the more hokey, the better! And what’s more, many of these places are open 24/7 around here, because in Chicago, anytime is the right time to have a little fun! And hey – most of those pinball machines you loved as a kid were built here, too, many of which are still in action!
Sporting Events and Concerts
Rediscovering your youth almost always includes screaming at the top of your lungs, and aside from the aforementioned carnivals, these are the places to do so, right alongside hundreds and even thousands of other "adults" like yourselves! Whether it’s a favorite team or a rock concert, anything housed under a stadium is a great place to get the blood flowing! And surprise, surprise, us Chicagoans have plenty of events to choose from at venues of all sizes!
Whoops! We can't seem to find any.
