Don’t know what to do for your date? Don’t fret. In this article we’ve shared with you ten go-to date activities, that won’t disappoint. This article is intended for those looking to go out for a first date and for those who are looking to rekindle the flame with their special someone, by trying something new and exciting. In our list, we have ideas for both groups.
The Perth and the better part of Western Australia at large are not devoid of things to do- especially for a date. You can go to East Perth, South Perth, Swan River, Perth City, and other places, and you’ll still find great places for a fun date night idea or two. Without further ado, here are some of the best Perth date ideas. Take a look.
1. Tour The Perth Cultural Centre
Before you laugh at me, continue reading! As you well know, movies paint only one picture of what a perfect date is. In real life, not everyone is turned on by fancy dinners or movies. Yes! So, if you suspect that you’re date is one of the more enlightened amongst us, a visit to the Perth Cultural Centre may actually earn you a second trip.
At the Cultural Centre, you may visit the Western Australia Museum, the Art Gallery of Western Australia and the Blue Room Theatre. Now when there, one tip- don’t make it a lecture session. Be laid back, crack a joke or two and give a different perspective to what she already knows!

2. Go To The Beach
There’s something about the sea that is so alluring. It’s different for everyone. For me, it’s the idea of endless possibilities that comes through when I stare at the vastness of water. Chances are that you s/o or date will enjoy the beach. And if you’re worried about how you look, consider this- being confident in your own body is an attractive trait, perhaps even more than that perfect body you dream off.
In Perth, Cottesloe Beach is a great option. It has the best view of the sunset or the West Australia shore if you go there in the day time. Fill up your dates with “aww” moments and stuff up that nostalgia box with some greaet photos.

4. Have A Picnic
Few things show that you’re thoughtful as preparing a picnic for you s/o. Picnics remain one of the all-time best date ideas. For one, the intimate nature of this date idea will have you rekindle your flame. Moreover, the quiet that parks provide allows you and you s/o to really talk, to really communicate.
In Perth, consider Kings Park.

6. Boat Cruise From Perth CBD To Swan Valley
This would make for an unforgettable date! There are cruise companies in Perth CBD, that offer cruises from the CBD to Swan Valley. Now the cruise is an amazing experience in itself, but the destination is even more incredible.
Swan Valley is the perfect place for romance. It is known to be one of the leading wine regions in the country. Can you imagine how romantic a dinner overlooking orchards would be? Consider this one for your next date.
Consider Captain Cook Cruises for a package tour.

7. Watch A Movie In Perths Only Drive-In Theatre
When was the last time you went for a movie? Most likely recently right? Well, when was the last time you took your s/o to a drive-in theatre? Drive-in theatres used to be the go-to date idea for crushes and romantic partners alike. Unfortunately, they’re slowly approaching extinction.
Lucky for you, Perth still has a drive-in Theatre you can attend. Watch out for the movie timings of galaxy drive for your next date.

8. Watch The Universe Unravel For You At Perth Observatory
The Perth Observatory is the perfect way for you to communicate that there are endless possibilities for your crush when they’re with you. Located almost thirty kilometres from Perth, this particular observatory is the oldest in Western Australia. There are many curated activities at the observatory, but for me, a simple night sky tour will do!
Consider it next time you go for a date.

9. A Bar With Live Music
A date at a Bar is a great way to get rid of the awkwardness of a first date. Live music creates a perfect balance between the laid back nature of a bar- especially if it is romantic music. Catch my drift? Now in Perth, I would really recommend Mrs Brown Bar. The privacy it offers is perfect for a date.

10. A Fancy Dinner For Date Night
Yes, going out for dinner will never get old. It is tried and tested and almost always doesn’t disappoint. Fancy dinners are a way of showing your s/o that you still value and appreciate them. Now, there are many great wine and dine restaurants in Perth. I’ll let you do your homework instead of recommending one. Goodluck
Consider Ristorante. it has amazing reviews.
