Alli Arthur and Nicole Miller Summer is the perfect time to go on some not so typical dates with your significant other. Summer brings about a lot of fun activities and great weather which create many options for fun dates. Picnic in the Park: Have a picnic in one of the local parks around Findlay. Spend quality time together making food for the outdoor feast, soak up some sunshine, and check out the scenery by taking a walk afterwards. This is a cost free way to have fun. Zoo: Make the short travel up to the Toledo Zoo and pay about $15.00 for a ticket in order to spend one of your sunny summer days with the wild. Going to the zoo is a great way to make memories and see animals you can’t find in your backyard. Have fun wandering around the exhibits and learning facts about each animal while enjoying each other’s company. If you’re feeling like taking a longer trip, Cincinnati and Columbus both offer zoos, too. Visit a Museum:  Photography Scavenger Hunt: Get creative and come up with a list of funny pictures you and your significant other could take. This is a great way to have fun, get your creative juices flowing, and make some very interesting memories. If possible, get another couple and make a competition out of it. Below are a few examples from photo scavenger hunt lists. -standing under a sign that starts with a “W” -standing with a woman wearing pink -eating an ice cream cone -putting spare change in a donation jar Dog Park Date: Enjoy a beautiful summer day with not only your significant other but man’s best friend. Go to a dog park or take your pups on a nature walk, have a milkshake and spend the day outdoors getting your vitamin D. Get active, enjoy the weather, and the time you have together! Sports Galore: For sporty couples, there are many great summer activities to take part in. Grab a bat and head to a batting cage to get some swings in, go rollerblading, play some putt putt, or even try tennis at one of the local courts. If you aren’t interested in actually playing a sport, catch a baseball game! Tickets are relatively cheap and there are many different choices of teams here in Ohio. Don’t have a date? You don’t need one to have a great summer! We’ve got what it takes to make a great summer right here in Findlay.
