25 Dates under $50
- Visit the Taubman Museum and then grab dessert at the City Market (We love Bayou’s Snowballs!)
- Paint pottery at Glazed Bisque It (Some larger pieces can be pricey, so why not paint one together?)
- Go rock climbing at River Rock– they have a late night discount Mondays-Thursdays after 8 pm until 10 pm.
- Visit your local library and find some poetry to share with one another, some times a little cheese is what you need! (plus that leaves $50 for a nice dinner!)
- Attend a local high school basketball/football/soccer game! Don’t forget to buy some popcorn and snow-cones at the concession stand (and kiss under the bleachers!)
- Bowl a few games at AMF Hilltop Lanes, who just so happens to have a full restaurant and bar on location.
- Go for a hike! Roanoke has some of the best trails in the entire Appalachian Trail. Use the cash to splurge on a fancy trail mix!
- Volunteer at a pet shelter together. Local shelters often look for volunteers to walk, cuddles and help train adoptable animals.
