What to do on a Date in Grand Rapids – From A to Z

Picking What to do on a Date is Easy with our A to Z Planner

I want to know what to do on a date that’s not dinner and a movie. I mean, I love that combo, but lately I feel like I’m missing out on something.

This weekend we are changing it up a little and doing dinner and a movie – with the GR Symphony. Yeah, it’s still a movie, but it’s going to be a whole different experience.

We know there is so even more to do around Grand Rapids on a date. It’s the perfect excuse to explore our city and have a mini adventure right here at home.

But how do you pick what to do? Sometimes it’s best to leave it up to fate. All you have to do is pick a letter and GO. Don’t even think twice. There are great restaurants and activities for every letter.

This mega list of date activities and restaurant ideas from A to Z will spice up your date night adventures in our beautiful city.

4 Interesting Ways to Use this Giant A-Z Treasure Trove

Don’t let our date night list overwhelm you! Here’s some fun ways to use it:

  • Write the alphabet, A-Z, on popsicle sticks and place them in a jar upside down. Randomly select a stick to determine what activity and/or restaurant to check out.
  • Roll a Scattergories die to decide which letter to try.
  • Take turns planning date nights for each other! If something sounds yummy or fun, go for it! Then cross that restaurant or activity off the list so that you are enticed to try new places the next time.
  • Schedule a letter to tackle every other week for a year’s worth of dates!
