Date Ideas for a Rainy Day
Date Ideas for a Rainy Day. Whether you’re in a new relationship or in a longstanding one, date night is always a fun thing for couples. While many people think of Orlando as a city meant for families, there is certainly no shortage of things to do for young couples looking for a night out on the town!
Arcade-themed bar
Date Ideas for a Rainy Day. Drinking and playing games go hand in hand. Several Orlando bars make for great indoor date ideas and allow you to sip adult beverages while indulging your inner child. Fun options include Player 1 Video Game Bar and The Cloak and Blaster, which has an upstairs video game lounge.
Indoor go-kart track
Several indoor go-kart racing tracks in Orlando attract locals and visitors alike. Check out K1 Speed (near the Florida Mall) and Andretti Indoor Karting & Games, which has an arcade bar, ropes/zipline course, laser tag, bowling, and more in addition to karting. Both options are located about 15 minutes from each other, so visit each one if you’re having a good time. Just don’t forget to wear closed-toe shoes!
