Is it your turn to plan date night? Searching for something that is slightly more active than the traditional dinner and a movie? We are right there with ya! Plus, no one said a little healthy competition was bad for a relationship! Here are a few of our favorite activity-based date ideas around Boise that are sure to keep you and your partner on your toes.
Axe Throwing
Looking for an activity to really break out of your shell, axe throwing is a fun way to get out of your comfort zone and enjoy some friendly competition with your significant other! Boise has a few different axe throwing venues that offer a fun and safe environment to try your hand at this unique sport.
For a totally unique experience, try Ragers Smash n Axe. This is the perfect date idea for couples who want to let off some steam and have a little fun. Try your hand at traditional target axe throwing, or enter a smash room where you can take a baseball bat to glassware and recycled electronics. We guarantee you’ll have a smashing good time!

Escape Rooms
For couples that are really looking for a challenge, consider visiting an escape room. Time to really see how well your partner picks up on clues and how flustered they get when it comes to solving puzzles. If you make it through this together, you relationship is going to be set-up for success. It's a great way to test your problem-solving skills while also having a blast with your partner.
Golf
We are pretty sure Boise is going to change it’s nickname from ‘The City of Trees’ to ‘The City of Golf.’ It’s true! Boise has so many golfing-themed activities, and the best part is, there is no need to be a Tiger Woods to have fun!
I mean, is there anything more classic than mini golf?! It’s year-round fun and the perfect balance between an active and laid back date idea. Head to Wahooz Family Fun Zone, Top Golf, or enjoy a beer at The Turn, found inside the newest Sockeye Brewing location while practicing your put-put. And if you and your partner are looking for something slightly more competitive, we recommend hittin’ up X-Golf, the home of indoor golf. Whatcha think? Ready to take a swing at it?

Indoor Rock Climbing
Want to take your relationship to new heights? Rock climbing is a great way to strengthen your bond, keep your relationship interesting, and practice encouragement. This activity is not for the weak. But really… Rock climbing may be a more physically demanding date option, but it’s a great way to challenge yourself, get some exercise, and enjoy some quality time with your partner. And you know we are always here to give our recommendations for our favorite spots! Check out The Commons Climbing Gym for a totally welcoming and community oriented climbing experience!

Okay, so if you want something active, but like not too active, try a paint and sip class!
