ZipQuest Waterfall & Treetop Adventure
Did you even know that Fayetteville has a 55 acre Zipline? I didn’t either until I had my very own Zipquest Adventure a few years back. It was amazing! A bit scary at first but definitely one of those unforgettable memories. One I would love to share with my Hubby since he didn’t get to go with me that first time.

Book Your ZipQuest Adventure TODAY!
The Climbing Place
Not ready to spend the day outdoors? No worries. You can still have a bit of romantic adventure exploring Fayetteville’s indoor climbing spot – The Climbing Place! The Climbing place is not only North Carolina’s oldest climbing gym but it’s most well known as well. With 20,000 square feet of climbing space and newly added walls, you are sure to find a bit of adventure to add to your day.
This is something I’ve been wanting to share with my Hubby. He may say he’s not a climber he is a competitor and I can’t wait to get to the top of that wall and ring the bell before him! I mean who says a bit of competition can’t be romantic?
ParacleteXP
Like things a bit more extreme? Then ParacleteXP may be the perfect day date destination for you! Located right outside of Fayetteville in Raeford, NC this indoor skydiving experience is one I’m sure you will never forget.
Get the adrenaline rush of skydiving without the 13,500 foot step out of an airplane. Even if your a first-time flyer – like my Hubby and I would be – you will have the adventure of a lifetime as you earn your wings and defy a bit of gravity.

Ft. Bragg Clay Target Center
Going shooting is one of my favorite ways to spend time with my Hubby. It’s the perfect day date activity. So when I learned that Ft. Bragg Clay Target Center offers a variety of ways to have a bit of fun while ‘shooting off’ some steam I knew this had to be added to my list.
I had the chance to shoot a few targets recently and had a blast but I can’t wait to share the fun with my Hubby. The Center offers everything you need including Shot Gun rental, instructions on skeet/trap shooting and hearing protection rentals. You can even rent your own pavilion and make a full day of it!
Entertainment
Cameo Art House Theater
Dates are always a great time to enjoy your favorite snack and snuggle up with your love for a movie. Yet sometimes it’s good to switch things up from one of the huge theaters to something a bit more – intimate. Cameo Art House Theater is a perfect choice!

Great post! We live in Sanford NC, but may just plan to stay the day and night in Fayetteville due to this post, it looks just perfect! I am really looking forward to making it a memory we won’t forget, we actually met on valentines 10 years ago, so we both LOVE this holiday! Thanks so much
Thanks so much, Mark!! Sandford isn’t too far at all. I think we would make the perfect overnight Valentine’s destination 😉 Wow! Now that definitely makes Valentine’s your Special Day! You’re so very welcome – thank YOU for coming by!
Although I’m such a scared-y squirrel I would totally love to try indoor skydiving. I think that would be a fun date. 🙂
Oh that’s one I definitely want the chance to try! I hope you get a chance someday 😀
Oh I didn’t realize The Climbing Place is the oldest climbing gym in NC! I’ve finally gotten my significant other into climbing so it might be fun to explore some other climbing spots in the state 🙂 And I’ve always wanted to try that indoor skydiving place! It sounds like a lot of fun – great list of day date ideas! 🙂
Yes, I didn’t either Liz isn’t that such a great milestone for them? That’s so cool – I definitely think a Valentine’s road trip could be the perfect way to celebrate and get your climb on 😉
I love the variety! Both the indoor skydiving and DEFY sound like so much fun, and definitely not your typical date night!
Thanks Kate! Fayetteville is bringing the love for fun this Valentine’s Day!
These are really great ideas. My husband and I get tired of always doing dinner and a movie. Thanks for some good ideas!
