A great date night needs a great date activity, so you'll want to plan something fun to do for you and your sweetheart.

Suggestions

• Go hiking. Bundle up and get outside with your sweetie. We've got hiking and biking information here, but if you're new to hiking, we've got some beginner's suggestions too.
• Looking for something more like a nice stroll instead of a real hike? Check out the Jackson-Frazier Wetland, the Riverfront Commemorative Park, or our historic walking tours: Franklin Square, Downtown Corvallis, Atomic Ranches, the Avery Helm Historic District, or the College Hill West Historic District.
• Try booking a Goat Happy Hour. Spend some time together in beautiful scenery, surrounded by adorable goats and other farm friends, with some Oregon wine. Click here for more information.
• Are you art lovers? We have a ton of public art you can tour around Corvallis. Check out our public art info, and don't miss the Corvallis Murals Scavenger Hunt or the Downtown Alley Art Walk. Check out the shows at the Arts Center, the Corvallis Museum, or the Philomath Museum, too.

Want to get your special someone a present or some flowers? We have a lot of great little gift shops around Benton County. You can check our shopping listings, but be sure to visit Garland Nursery (great for gifts and flowers), Sibling Revelry (lots of excellent gift items here), or the Terra Viva Gallery (beautiful jewelry).

Corvallis also has several great florists, like Expressions in Bloom, Stargazer Premier Florist, and Penguin Flowers.
