Indianapolis Date Ideas (Things To Do)

1. Canal District
Canal District
Canal District
Indy boasts a veneer of tough sporty types, but beneath all the bravado, this is a sentimental city with a sweet touch of romance waiting to be discovered. Pack a picnic basket, grab a blanket, and head for the west side of downtown. Lead your sweetheart away from the traffic into an area of serenity and beauty - the Canal District.

This is a place of blooms and birds, fountains and flowing water. Flop down in the grass to enjoy your sandwiches, talk to each other without interruption, and give in to the languid relaxation of being with someone you love. Hire a paddleboat if you are adventurous, or spend the day in a haze of delight as you float down the canal in a gondola. Drift under bridges and bowers as the fast-paced city pulsates all around you and lose yourselves in this hidden Eden.


2. Billie Creek Village

This is a picturesque creek-side community comprised of beautiful houses, moved here from other parts of Indiana. Life is simple here and you will both derive great pleasure in exploring the small area. This is an especially romantic place to go on a date if you have been together for a while. Check out the sweet little church, the basic general store, and tiny shops. Then head for one of the two bridges into an area of complete privacy and enjoy an intimate picnic.

Whichever trail you choose, you are bound to find vibrant vistas and scenic outlooks. Beech and Maple forests, bursting with songbirds, open onto glorious canyons and rushing waterfalls at every turn. Hold hands on the banks of the Ohio River as you gaze at the rolling hills of Kentucky on the other side.
