13 Fun Date Ideas Around Atlanta for Couples

Sue Krawitz Tandoc:  A Date Night couples cooking class at Sur La Table makes for an ideal and delicious date night. You and your love will prepare a unique multiple course meal together with the instruction from a talented chef and then enjoy tasting it. They offer a wide selection of cuisines to choose from such as Italian, French, Cajun, and classic American meals. Most classes are 2 to 2.5 hours.

Sue Krawitz Tandoc:  Soothe your muscles and take a luxurious break from parenting as a couple to savor a Duet Massage at Woodhouse Day Spa. The two of you will enjoy side-by-side Swedish massages in a private spa room to bring unity, calmness and connection on your special date night.

Hannah Scott:  Rock Climbing can be a great partner activity if you know how to belay (AKA holding the rope for the person climbing the wall). Stone Summit offers special instruction for beginner climbers, including a one-time belay lesson (+$15) so that you and your partner are ready to climb on your own.

Sue Krawitz Tandoc:  Check out Ultimate Escape Game Atlanta for an exciting date night! You and your love can choose a challenging escape room from eerie and fun choices such as Enigma for the history buff, Submerged for an immersive live-action experience, Erased for experienced escape room players and more. My personal favorite is the Atlanta room which showcases the City's famous attractions and landmarks through puzzles and games for a hometown escape room experience!

Sue Krawitz Tandoc:  Unleash your creativity for hands-on date nights at Mudfire. Each couple will receive a personal experience with a talented instructor to teach you the basics of pottery creation by using the wheel and hand building. Most people will create 2-4 pots each. You are welcome to bring your own snacks and beverages for your date.

Hannah Scott:  Looking for something REALLY unique? Check out the Decatur Glassblowing classes! Choose a project (flower, ornament, paperweight, pumpkin, bowl, vase, etc.) and sign up for a public group class where the instructor will walk you through the steps to create one yourself. You can even bring drinks and snacks with you! Pick up your masterpiece after 48 hours of cooling and you'll have a memento of your fabulous date night.

Hannah Scott:  My husband is a HUGE golf fan, but I'm a little reluctant to tag along for 18 holes. Topgolf is more my style! It's an elevated golf range that uses microchips to track the location of your ball and determine your score for each game. Pricing is by hour for "bay" (sort of like a lane at a bowling alley) that you can share with a large group of people to reduce the cost. Double date, anyone?

Savor a date night with your sweetie at Murphy's Restaurant for a unique wine tasting event. They feature weekly themed events with wines focused on a specific region or type of wine, as well as seasonal themed events. Some events include light appetizers such a cheese board and you are always welcome to order small plates or a dinner meal. They have a diverse wine list that is sure to please.

Hannah Scott:  If you live in Atlanta and haven't been to the World of Coca-Cola, why not cross that off the bucket list as a date night experience? Check out the 4-D theater, see how drinks are bottled, see the vault where the top-secret formula is kept, and (my personal favorite part) sample over 100 beverages from around the world!

Hannah Scott:  Laughing dates are the best kind, and Agatha's is the perfect place to make that happen! Everyone is given a role when they walk through the door (though you can choose to sit back and be less directly involved if you prefer) and the show is led by hilarious professional actors, with the audience participating! Ticket price includes a five course meal: buffet-style appetizers, homemade soup, salad, your choice of 7 entrees, dessert, and a glass of wine.

Hannah Scott:  Confession: I always have my phone out while watching a movie, looking up trivia about the actors and filming process. If your nerd game is as strong as mine, you'll love the Atlanta Movie Tours! Over a thousand movies and TV shows have been filmed in Atlanta since the 1970s, including the Hunger Games, The Walking Dead, Fast and The Furious, Stranger Things, and many more. These guided tours show you the filming locations and give you behind-the-scenes trivia and stories to go along.

Hannah Scott:  One of the best kept secrets in Atlanta is Grocery On Home, a private, "underground" music venue that hosts live music each week. Shows are announced on Facebook, and a limited number of people can RSVP. Bring your own snacks and drinks and the result is a super-intimate experience perfect for date night! Admission is free with a suggested donation that goes straight to the performers.

Hannah Scott:  Get your blood pumping with a one-of-a-kind experience behind the wheel of the Porsche model of your choice! Choose the model you want to drive with personalized instruction from a drive coach on the track. If sticker shock has you down on this one, consider trying out the simulations instead.
