<\/h3>\nGet Active On Your Chicago Date with a Lakefront Bike Tour!<\/em><\/b><\/h3>\nThere are few things more invigorating than biking the Chicago lakefront, the gentle breeze cooling you down as you coast alongside the beauty of Lake Michigan. The sight is breathtaking, and it\u2019s even more special on a date! Bobby\u2019s Bike Hike offers a Lakefront neighborhood bike tour<\/a> that will take you past various sights including the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park Zoo, and North Avenue Beach. Looking for something a little more private? Rent bikes for the date<\/a> so that you and your date can explore Chicago on your own. If you thought a lakefront ride was romantic on a standard bike, you should try it on the tandem bike!<\/p>\n![\"People](\"https:\/\/www.bobbysbikehike.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/6.17-Samie-Jo-1pm-Hoods-jump-scaled.jpg\")

Founded in 1967, the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art<\/a> is among the world\u2019s largest contemporary art venues. During the summer, their “Tuesdays on the Terrace” concert features the top Chicago jazz musicians. Not only is the outdoor concert free, but the entrance to view the museum collection is also free for Illinois residents on Tuesdays! This Chicago date night idea is a\u00a0 high-class experience, low-budget, and is casual enough for a first date while establishing that you\u2019re cultured. Order delicious food like lobster rolls and BBQ chicken at the terrace (as well as beer, wine, and cocktails), and let a sultry saxophone do the smooth-talking for yo<\/p>\n![\"People](\"https:\/\/bobbysbikehike.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TuesdaysAtTheTerrace-1.jpg\")

The Millennium Park summer film series<\/a> screens free movies on Tuesday evenings with a lineup that includes romances like “10 Things I Hate About You” and “Love, Simon,” action movies like “Black Panther,” and foreign language films like “Pan\u2019s Labyrinth.” Bring a blanket and BYOBooze, then watch the screen intently (or ignore it altogether). It\u2019s a lovely opportunity for a homemade picnic. And if you want to extend the date after the film, you\u2019re right in the heart of Chicago near some of the best bars and restaurants. Some recommendations include Ema for Mediterranean food or Pinstripes for drinks and bowling.<\/p>\n![\"Millenium](\"https:\/\/bobbysbikehike.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/MillenniumParkSummerFilmSeries-1.jpg\")
<\/a>*Photo courtesy of Choose Chicago<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nGo Kayaking on Lake Michigan for a Couples Paddle \u2014 Afternoon and Sunset Options<\/a><\/h3>\nSpend a day or evening out on the water for your next summer date! Cool off on Lake Michigan and make a splash when you plan this date activity. Paddle solo, or go double in a tandem kayak. Choose from a standard afternoon couples kayak on Lake Michigan<\/a> or make it a sunset date with a lakefront kayak<\/a>. This summer date activity will get you outside, challenge you both (in a good way), cool you off and provide a playful day out.<\/p>\nYou clearly enjoy hanging out with each other, so it\u2019s time for a more casual Chicago date idea. Why not hit one of Chicago\u2019s amazing beaches<\/a> after kayaking? Soak up the sun, swim around, and then destroy your date in beach volleyball. (Or let them win, if playing nice is your thing). Some great beaches in Chicago include Oak Street Beach, North Avenue Beach, and Loyola Beach. Whichever beach you choose for the date, don\u2019t forget your sunscreen!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.bobbysbikehike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Date-Idea-Kayak-Lake-Michigan.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nDancing Date in Grant Park<\/b><\/h3>\n
What\u2019s more romantic than “dancing cheek to cheek on a date?” SummerDance in Grant Park<\/a> is the perfect time to get your Fred Astaire\/Ginger Rogers groove on. Even when you\u2019ve been married for twenty years, you can\u2019t deny the power of two people moving as one. Never danced before? No problem! These free dances include lessons prior to the shindig. And because it\u2019s outside with 4,900 square feet of space, you don\u2019t have to worry about being cramped or smelling other peoples\u2019 dancing fever. The money you save here means you can splurge a lil\u2019 bit on a fancy dinner date by the Chicago River.<\/p>\n![\"Couple](\"https:\/\/bobbysbikehike.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/CC_SUMMERDANCE_10_291dbf07-9e77-4d09-aa55-111862f71b15-1.jpg\")

Floriography- an ancient way to say, “I love you” without saying, “I love you.” If you have trouble getting those words out, head over to the Garfield Park Conservatory<\/a> for your next Chicago date. Wanting to take your relationship to the next level? There\u2019s nowhere better to propose than amidst the sweet, perfum\u00e9d air of these luscious gardens. Let the Conservatory send you back to Shakespearean times when lovers stood upon balconies and serenaded each other with sonnets. The Garfield Park Conservatory is free all year but stay away if your date has pollen allergies.<\/p>\n![\"couple](\"https:\/\/bobbysbikehike.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Garfield-Park-Conservatory-1.jpg\")

If you\u2019re both into baseball, then attending a baseball game for a date is a guaranteed home run! But make sure you both root for the same team, or the date might go foul. Tickets vary greatly in price, so you can decide whether to make this a cheap get-together or something more special. If you can eat a Chicago-style hot dog in front of your date, it\u2019s a relationship meant to last.<\/p>\n![\"Things](\"https:\/\/bobbysbikehike.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Wrigley-Field-Barry-Bloom.png\")

When you\u2019re in a polyamorous relationship, ticket prices add up and dinner-for-two just doesn\u2019t cut it. But neighborhood street festivals only get better when more people attend. More people means more local food samples, which means more flavors to be shared. One or two people dancing by the music truck (because there\u2019s always a music truck) can be awkward, but 3+ is instantly a party. Neighborhood street festivals are a great way to get to know your neighborhood better or acquaint yourself with somewhere new. Check out Pilsen\u2019s Taco Fest<\/a>, Roscoe Village\u2019s Burger Fest, or the weekly Argyle Night Market<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Street](\"https:\/\/bobbysbikehike.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/MoledeMayo-1.png\")

The Full Moon Jam is free to attend and an authentic Chicago date idea for the summer months. This is a fun date for any stage of a relationship, but it\u2019s especially helpful early on during the awkward phase. If you run out of things to say, there\u2019s no uncomfortable eye contact because you can just watch the dancers! Stop by Asia on Argyle beforehand for some delicious bubble tea or banh mi.
