Fun while also being a good workout, rollerskating is a great date idea. While Seguin hasn’t had a rink in a long time, but both San Antonio and Austin have affordable options that aren’t too far away. For those who own their own wheels, check out Starcke Park - there are tons of great spots to work on your skills, or just enjoy the outdoors while to skate.
Disc Golf
Another active date idea with great local options is hitting the Disc Golf Course at Starcke Park. Starter kits typically start around $20, and with great local shops like Pecancity Disc Golf, there is a community to help get you started. Why its a great date idea? It’ll take you back to the freedom of childhood frisbeee, but with a competitive and challenging twist!
Thrifty Fashion Photoshoot
Take $10 each and head to your favorite Thrift Shop. Each person picks out an outfit in their budget, and then head downtown for a cellphone photoshoot! You’ll both look a little silly, but that’s the fun of it. Plus, you might just find your one in a million piece whether it’s a new belt, or a new boo/bestie.
Charcuterie Picnic
This one is an old classic - the picnic in the park. Give your date an trendy boost by including a Charcuterie board filled with cheese, meat, fruits and more! Minimalistic dates like these offer an opportunity for real conversation to occur, unlike heading to the movies. If you pick a great spot, the possibilities are endless as you discuss your food selection, and people watch together.
Goats & Wine at Blue Lotus
Cute and cuddly animals plus great wine make Seguin’s Blue Lotus Winery a perfect date location. In addition to offering a great selection of wine and mead, they keep things fun by hosting special events with goats like Goat Yoag and Goats on the Lawn. Keep your eyes on Blue Lotus Winery’s Facebook page for details on upcoming events that are perfect date material.
Furniture Painting at Keepers
Did you know Keepers offers classes? Check out there offerings while learning how to paint and restore furniture with Annie Sloan! Together with your partner, you’ll explore a new skill that can be used to spruce things up at home while having a blast at the same time. Fans of Sloan’s classes can’t get enough and say its great for a solo night out or with a partner!
Get Creative at You’re So Crafty
This one is easy - all you have to do is show up, pick a project and get creative. Whether you want to try and create matching pieces, or do your own unique thing, You’re So Crafty has a wide assortment of crafts for you to explore. They also have everything you need all in one place. It’s a perfect date activity that won’t have you taking things too serious.
Hike & Talk
Explore Seguin’s amazing nature trails! Hiking improves physical health while also granting great mental benefits by reconnecting with nature. You and your partner will bond by exploring together, and no matter how many times you’ve been up a trail, you’ll always experience something new.
Take on Trivia
Head out to Seguin Brewing Co. or HEB where Trivia nights get exciting! Enjoy a few beers, and good food while you and your date test your trivia knowledge together. Whether you win, or not won’t even matter because at the end of the night you’ll have learned something new about each other, had some fun, and enjoyed some of the best food Seguin has to offer.
Geocashing
Geocashing is the perfect mixture of outdoor fun and technology. Use GPS to navigate the world around you and seek real container (caches) left by other players. The fun part of this treasure hunt is discovering new places, and taking part in a community. Why it makes a good date: because of the adventure! You never know what you’ll find or where.
