Fun Date Ideas for Each Zodiac Sign
Here are fun date ideas to try for each zodiac sign:
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Ambitious, bold and highly competitive, Aries daters would do well with an activity that brings out their fiery energy and winning personality. Some potential Aries-approved date ideas could include axe throwing, darts, mini golf or go-carting.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
This earth sign loves to hang out in relaxing, natural environments and indulge in the pleasures of life. For the zodiac sign represented by the bull, explore fun date ideas like a long walk in nature, a local garden tour, or a picnic on the beach complete with plenty of sumptuous treats.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Naturally extroverted, playful and curious, people who fall under the Gemini zodiac sign love to juggle a variety of passions, pursuits and hobbies all at once, hence the symbol of twins that represent this sign. A successful date with a Gemini would likely take the form of a two-parter like dinner and a movie, an art gallery visit followed by coffee, or a bike ride with a pit stop for ice cream.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Those who fall under the sign of cancer, represented by the crab, are known to be highly intuitive, emotional and often guarded until a strong foundation of trust is established. Cancers are also often known for their goofy sense of humor, so you may want to opt for a comedy show, a play, or a movie for your date.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Like the majestic and proud lion, Leos love to take center stage with their vibrant, theatrical, loud-and-proud personalities. Since Leos adore being in the spotlight, people with this zodiac sign may appreciate fun date ideas like karaoke, an improv class, or a night out on the town spent dancing up a storm.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Another earth sign, Virgos tend to be highly meticulous, practical and logical perfectionists with a penchant for self-improvement. They can also be highly creative, so fun date ideas like painting, drawing or dancing would suit this zodiac sign well.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Typically shrouded in an alluring air of mystery, Scorpios are deeply passionate, emotional and secretive beings. Since they also tend to be intense, fearless and bold, a more extreme date idea like skiing, surfing, or a trip to the amusement park may be in the cards for a date with a Scorpio.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
