Ten Adorable Valentine’s Day Date Ideas in Brandon
By Lily Hodgson, Reporter
Visit T-Birds for some bowling or arcade games! Your Brandon University Paw Pass can get you a “sweet” deal on an hour and a half of bowling. Plus, if you visit the BUSU office, they sometimes have arcade coupons up for grabs!
Stay home, order takeout, and have a movie or game night. The Dock on Princess, Dominoes, and Papa John’s are just a few of the places that offer Paw Pass discounts when you order delivery.
See a movie at Landmark Cinemas. Puss in Boots, anyone?
Have a mall date at the Shopper’s Mall! Even if you aren’t planning on shopping, who doesn’t love people watching, window shopping, and eating delicious food court food?
Take a self-guided tour of the Daly House Museum. Full of fascinating antique artifacts and displays, it will transport you back to the 19th century – making it an absolute must-see for those interested in Brandon’s history. Admission is well worth the price, at only $5.
Take your Valentine out to Chez Angela Bakery for sandwiches, coffee, baked goods or even a delicious stone hearth pizza. As a bonus, you can get 25% off specific menu items with your Paw Pass!
Paint pottery at Fun Time Pottery! They have a wide variety of super-cute Valentine’s Day-themed pieces to paint. You can get a Paw Pass discount here, too.
Visit the Art Gallery downtown. The best part? Entry is completely free! Afterwards, visit the gift shop to support some local artists.
Cook a homemade meal. At Co-Op Grocery Store, in addition to a $5 off deal with your Student ID, $15 food vouchers are available from the BUSU office every second Thursday. Pick up some ingredients and try a new recipe!
Go thrifting! MCC Thrift, Plato’s Closet, Value Village, and Nearly New are just a few local thrift store options. Thrifting is a great and inexpensive date idea, and to add to the fun, you can pick silly outfits for each other and wear them out to dinner.
