Planning The Perfect Date Night In Bloomington
The perfect date night should be memorable, and luckily Bloomington has plenty of opportunity all over the area! Sure, just stopping by your favorite Italian restaurant near me can be enough to make a great date, but what if you plan to make an entire day of it? We at Bucceto’s want to highlight a few of our date night (or date day) favorite spots:
- Watch the sunset from Hickory Ridge Fire Tower – Perched 110ft up over the Hoosier National Forest is Hickory Ridge Tower. Once you get up the 133 steps (perfect for adventurous couples) you’re met with incredible views of sunrises, sunsets, or beautiful sunny days. You can cozy up to the one you love and see miles of picturesque landscape!
- Take a hot air balloon ride – You’ve likely caught glimpses of them floating over the Bloomington landscape at one time or another, but hot air balloon rides are a top date idea for couples who love a little excitement. Sitting in the safe basket, you can float along and take in Bloomington’s most beautiful sites from a bird’s eye view.
- Take a stroll through Dunn Meadow – Not all great dates in Bloomington have to start out with an adrenaline rush! Dunn Meadow on the campus of Indiana University follows the Campus River through beautiful tree lines and along paved walkways. One of the best places to have a picnic, we love the idea of stopping by for a Bucceto’s pizza first!
- Stop by the drive-in – Couples can keep it old school with a stop by the local Starlite Drive-In! Grab your favorite Bucceto’s pizza, pasta, or appetizers to share, a cozy blanket, and a couple of refreshing bottles of root beer, and you’re ready to tuck in for some quality time at the movies under the stars.
- Stargazing at Fairfax Beach – Monroe Lake’s Fairfax Beach is the perfect place for pointing out your favorite constellations or catching a romantic sunset. The only lights in the area come from the local marina, so there’s plenty of opportunity to catch a great view!
