When it comes to dating, couples may look for places to spend in the sweet company of each other. Houston, Texas, the fourth largest city in the United States, offers a variety of exciting options for couples. Whether you are going on a first date or have been going out together for a while, these places can provide a day of healthy fun and a great opportunity to share common interests.
Parks
For couples willing to spend a day outdoors biking, jogging or simply walking hand in hand, Houston offers a variety of parks. Houston's Arboretum and Nature Center offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city with a 155-acre urban nature sanctuary. Great walking shoes are in order for couples who take advantage of its five miles of walking trails. The Houston Downtown Waterfront Park on the other hand, offers a 23-acre park where couples can jog or bike.
Scuba Diving and Snorkeling
To kick the dating process up a notch, couples may enjoy a day packed with scuba diving and snorkeling. The Scuba Academy offers top quality equipment, safe scuba diving courses for beginners and first class escorted trips for seasoned divers. Snorkeling lessons are also available.
Rock Climbing
Enjoy rock climbing at Texas Rock Gym. Climbers of all ages and experience levels can try their hand at roped climbing and bouldering. A good pair of climbing shoes are strongly recommended; the facility offers shoe rentals.
Skydiving
When love is in the air, adventureous spirits may enjoy a heart pumping outing by reaching for the sky. If jumping out of an airplane at 12,000 feet gives both lovers a rush of adrenaline, Sky Dive Houston may provide the ideal setting for an unforgettable date. If this is your first jump, you will get to plummet individually in tandem along with your instructor. To share these unforgettable moments together later during the day, don't forget to ask to have your first tandem adventure captured professionally in a DVD.
Kayaking
If as a couple you are still testing the waters and getting to know each other better, cool down and break the ice by going together on a canoeing or kayaking adventure. Houston Wilderness offers the opportunity for couples to enjoy the placid and peaceful waters of the bayou or go on a kayaking adventure instead by seeking the rumbling moving waters of nearby rivers.
Restaurants
When hunger strikes after a day packed with fun, a visit to Ziggy's Bar and Grill for health conscious couples is in order. The menu features organic beef and eggs derived from a local farm. French fries are hand cut, never frozen, and meals are trans-fat free.
Ruggles Green in Houston is certified by the Green Restaurant Association. This restaurant incorporates menus featuring organic, natural hormone-free and preservative-free meals.
