Take your sweetie out on the ice for a beautiful skate throughout the middle of the market. Admission and parking are free.

Press Your Luck at an Arcade

When is the last time you went to an arcade without kids? Chances are, not recently. Indy is home to some great options for adults to play games from their childhood. Places such as Tappers and 16-Bit offer a variety of retro and new games along with a slew of pinball machines. Drinks are available and it is so fun to have some friendly competition over the games. Check out our guide for more arcades throughout Central Indiana.

Date Night on a Budget

The holidays can add up quickly. If you aren’t sure you can swing a full-blown date night plus purchase everything else needed for the holiday months, try getting just drinks and desserts out. Gallery Pastry Bar has beautiful desserts including croissants and their widely popular macarons. Pair that with their full bar and you have a beautiful evening without the added cost of dinner.

Give Back to Your Community

With the holidays come reminders of the importance of giving. Although not your traditional date, finding time to volunteer locally will give you some wonderful memories to look back on. There are many locations throughout Central Indiana where you can volunteer your time to help others. Food banks, senior centers, animal rescues, and mentoring youth are a few options you can consider. You can also put together packs of essential items to hand out to people in need.
