Let’s be honest, dinner and a movie can get boring fast. University of Guelph, as well as areas surrounding the campus, are home to great spots you can take that cute guy/girl you’ve been eyeing down in class! Keep reading to discover ten cute date ideas to do around Guelph!

1. Picnic on Johnston green.

All you really need is a blanket, food, and a date for this! Pack up your favourite foods and set yourself up on Johnston green. Not only is it a beautiful date spot, it’s a date that won’t cost you tons of money- we all know being a university student can get expensive.


 

2. Go to a sporting event!

Whether you like sports or not, everyone can agree that it’s tons of fun to watch the Gryphons play their hearts out. Don’t forget to show your school pride by wearing red and gold!

 

3. Study dates!

Let’s be honest, studying sucks. Make it more fun by having a study date, not only will it make the studying less boring, it’ll also be a great way to ask questions while also spending time with your date. Whether you’re studying in the library, or out for coffee, it’s another cheap but cute date idea.

 

4. Paint the cannon.

Nothing says “I go to Guelph” more than the cannon, might as well make a date out of it! The cannon gets painted every night, so join the tradition! Definitely will be a date to remember!

 

5. Take the drive to Elora Quarry!

Home to the most beautiful Instagram posts, the Elora Quarry is roughly half an hour from campus. You and your date will be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery while also spending quality time together away from campus. The Quarry is definitely worth the drive!

 

6. Stargazing!

Another date you can do on Johnston green! Pull up a blanket, lay back, and watch the stars. While it’s a simple date, it’s a great way to spend time while being able to talk and relax.
