3) Peter Pan Miniature Golf~ Putt Love to the Test

Peter Pan Mini Golf is a fun spot for a date with your sweetheart. Get things swinging with some awesome mini golf. With two 18 hole courses, you can have tons of fun seeing which of you is the best golfer. First to get a hole in one gets bragging rights! This is Austin’s oldest (most iconic) mini golf course having been around since 1948.

4) Helo Austin~ Let Love Soar

Book a helicopter tour with Helo Austin and your romance is guaranteed to reach new heights. Galveston Helicopter Tours offers several themed tours over various areas of Austin. We prefer the Romantic Sunset Tour for an extra special date night. Check out Austin from a whole new point of view, a bird’s eye point of view.

5) Lake Travis Zipline Adventures~ Love is in the Air

A ziplining date is a sure way to let your love soar. You and your sweetheart will get harnessed up and then take off on a breathtaking, heart-racing adventure. Lake Travis Zipline Adventures is home to the longest and fastest ziplines in Texas. After you’re done soaring on the lines, take a dip in Lake Travis for a day full of fun.

Whether you’re paddling your way to romance, hanging out in a helicopter with spectacular views, or zipping through the sky, these dates are sure to keep the sparks flying and the boredom at bay. Love shouldn’t feel like a rerun, so skip the snooze-worthy plans. With a little adventure and a whole lot of fun, your next date in Austin could be the best yet.
