1. Admire marine life at Georgia Aquarium (from USD 57.71)
When you hear of the aquarium, you normally think of average, small-sized, colorful fish swimming in water. But there’s no telling how excited your date will be the second they see the beluga whale, the sea otter, sharks, or penguins in their natural habitat. And no, you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars flying them to a faraway romantic destination for that, all you have to do is take a cab or drive to Georgia Aquarium. It’s open all year with rare activities like diving and swimming with the sea animals on offer. Provided you are over 21 years of age, you are allowed to enjoy delicious cocktails, dance to some good music, and get some alone time late into the night.

3. Listen to live music at the Fernbank After Dark event
Posted by Fernbank Museum on Saturday, July 23, 2022
Fernbank After Dark is more of an event than a place. All the same, it is perfect for a date night if you are the kind of people who appreciate going to entry-free museums, learning about adult science topics, eating tapas, listening to live music, and enjoying the full bar during after hours. The only downside here is that this place is only open from 7 pm to 11 pm every second Friday of every new month. But other than that, it’s a pretty good date night venue if you and your partner love some fun.
