Get a bulls eye at Jack Axes

Cross country ski or snow shoe in Pippy Park
A good way to find out if they like the great outdoors. Which can be a deal breaker for some! Don't worry about not having the right gear, you can always rent them at North Bank Lodge or Outfitters. So get rent a pair and get going!

A good way to connect with someone! Maybe this isn't the first date, but you're running out of ideas. This is an awesome idea to bring you two closer together.
Escape a room at EscapeQuest NL

Try out your paint skills at Clay Cafe Avalon
Time to get in touch with your creative side! A perfect way for both of you to have a great time. Spend a few hours painting something you're passionate about. Paint Nite is held at different venus across town, so keeping up with their Facebook page is essential.
Play pool at Dooly's

Go watch a show at The Ship
Enjoy a few cold ones and some live music at The Ship Pub. The music is always changing and the beer is always cold. A good way to have good conversation between sets.

A good way to relax and enjoy each others company. Sit back and enjoy the sounds around you for a few hours. Even if the date doesn't go well at least you'll have a good time regardless!
Go wall climbing Wallnuts
Talk about building each others trust! Hopefully your date will be a good spotter, or you might be in deeper trouble than you thought. Wallnuts has everything you need for a fun filled evening.
Grab a coffee from Battery Cafe and head to Signal Hill
Tone it down a bit and just have a real conversation. Pick them up, grab a coffee and head up to the top of St. John's. Put on some good music and take in the view over good conversation. Everyone has done this with their special someone one at least once.
Go for a walk around Bowring Park
An oldie but a goodie, let the walk impress them so you don't have to. How can you go wrong with this idea? Walking around Bowring Park is short but sweet. Just enough time to see if you want suggest another activity. Don't forget to stop by Lovers Bridge.
Go to the GeoCentre
Now you've hit rock bottom — literally. The GeoCentre is a pretty neat spot as half of it is underground! They have movie showings and different exhibitions.
