See if both of you will enjoy this class, and if you do, perhaps you can consider making this a “couple activity” you can pursue. Want to impress your date?

Here’s an idea: on Valentine’s Day, go a little crazy and bring your date to a horseback riding session. This is the perfect activity for you to step out of your comfort zones and enjoy nature! Be warned though, sore bums may be expected after being on the horse for hours (especially since you’re newbies at it). But look at it this way, it gives you more time to get to know each other and bond through this unique experience. Afterwards, just treat yourselves to a nice lunch or dinner to celebrate a job well done. Now, that’s what you call a memorable date!

Though prawning is gaining popularity in Singapore, this activity may be the last thing to enter your mind when looking for date ideas this Valentine’s Day.

An hour which includes equipment rental can cost you less than $20 per pax. It’s also very relaxing since you’re far from the city atmosphere. This gives you and your love plenty of time to talk and get to know each other better. To book prawning session, click here. 5. Mini Golf

Who says kids have all the fun? For V-Day, you and your date can have a blast. How? Instead of taking her to a formal restaurant for dinner, you can invite her to play mini golf at Lilliputt. Not only will it be exciting, but it will also be romantic. The first time your date fails to put the ball in one of its miniature golf courses, you can wrap your arms around her and teach her how to do it the second time around.
