Sometimes, a Day Date is where it is at! Finding a babysitter to take on the bedtime routine can seem a bit more daunting than finding a babysitter to take on a fun morning of playtime.
For kids who are used to Mom and Dad for bedtime, it can be hard to enjoy a night out knowing that your kids may be struggling at home.
That’s why we love a good Day Date! Plus, you still get to go to bed on time- a true win-win!
If dates out are not in the picture for you right now, aim for a date night in! We love something like this date night box. Coming up with date night ideas can be hard after a while! Have a surprise date night in your own home each week.
The winter months in the Midwest can limit some things. But for day dates, winter can bring on a whole new level of fun!
Our Favorite Winter Day Date’s Spots in Sioux Falls:
Outdoor Spots
The Outdoor Campus
During the winter months, the Outdoor Campus has so much to offer! Check out their winter classes, rent snowshoes, or join in during cross-country skiing time! They even host date nights where they teach you how to cook what you can hunt. Remember, all the fun at the Outdoor Campus is free!

Spots to check out!

Great Shots. Enjoy a relaxing morning or afternoon of golf! Spend time in your own bay, order some food and drinks, and relax over some easy golf fun.
Dave and Busters. Enjoy some games that you pick! If you are a couple that loves playing games, this is the perfect spot for you.
Go Shopping
Enjoy a day out shopping without the kids! Getting in and out of the car as quickly as you want is such a thrill, haha!
