50 Ideas for a Date
Key
- Cost - ranked on a scale from free to $$$$. All costs are for two people, but the price of a date may vary due to location, opportunities to spend more, and individual differences (like owning equipment vs. renting it).
- $ = under $20
- $$ = $20 - $40
- $$$ = $40 - $80
- $$$$ = $80 and up
- Fun Factor - on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest. We have determined the fun factor based on our own opinions and experiences. If something sounds fun to you, give it a shot, even if we do not rank it highly. For most dates, the amount of fun really depends on you and your date--not where you go.
- Key Words - we have included key words that you can type into a search engine in order to find out more about the date. You might want to include your location in the searches. For example, you might type in "campground Santa Barbara California" to find camping sites specific to the Santa Barbara, California area.
