Do you like amusement parks? Those are fun to visit as a couple. We like to take car trips, too–though we don’t really like getting lost. YMMV. We also like to go to comedy clubs. Much more fun than a regular bar. Canoeing. We now have an old canoe we paddle around in, but you can rent them, too. You have to work together there! Actually, my husband’s idea of a great time is to invite a whole bunch of people over and play games or watch anime. I joke that he doesn’t want to spend any time alone with me! I’m going to be watching this thread for ideas of things we can do as a couple. ---

Maybe volunteer work or activities would not be considered “fun” to some, but there may be many things you could do together once in a while in your area involving kids, or elderly or animals, or cleaning up the beach, etc. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/looking-for-fun-things-for-couples-to-do-outside-the-bedroom/121708.md?page=1)
