Top 5 date night ideas – the Jozi edition
You’ve heard it here before HJ, make time for date night. And because we believe you should continue dating even after you say ‘I do’ thanks to Claire Bowen, here are her top five ultimate date destination ideas.
Claire Bowen from the brand for active people, Shower to Shower says that being active together has so many benefits beyond just having fun! “The second your body is active, the brain releases endorphins, which make you feel immediately lighter and happier. It’s a stress reliever and definitely an ice-breaker for a date, or even just an outing with a friend.”
1. Dancing on ice
Claire recommends: Northgate Ice Rink
Entrance fee: R80 + R35 skate hire
Lace up your skates together and feel like a kid again as you navigate your way around the ice rink. You might lose feeling in your cheeks, if not from the cold, then definitely from all the laughing.
2. Exploring the wilds
Claire recommends: The Wilds Nature Reserve
Entrance fee: Free
Pack an indulgent picnic and head into nature. Up a mountain, on to a green belt – whatever takes your fancy. Choose a picturesque spot to pause for your snack and enjoy the view.
3. Get fit and come right at the same time
Claire recommends: Cycle in Soweto
Entrance fee: History of Soweto Tour – 4 hours for R600
If you don’t have a bicycle, rent one. In fact, rent two. Take your beau or bestie on a ride through the streets of Jozi town. Stop for coffee and enjoy the wind in your hair.
4. Flying high on love
Claire recommends: InstaNation
Entrance fee: R130 adults and R100 kids
Channel your inner child and head to this social playground with a trampoline for your outing and a playful ball pit. Be sure to take a change of clothes, you’ll get sweaty!
5. Laugh your way into his heart
Claire recommends: Netflix and Chill
Entrance fee: R49 per month + a strong wifi connection
Watch Trevor Noah, Afraid of the Dark or Dave Chappelle, The Age of Spin.
If laughter is indeed the best medicine, then every day is the best time to administer it. Choose a comedy On Netflix for your evening in and exercise your funny bones!
