If you’ve managed to do more than just unpack your Orlando apartment, you’ve no doubt learned there is more to this city than amusement parks. Should you want to get out and enjoy a romantic evening or day on the town, there are some incredible opportunities here to try. Just exercise your imagination and explore the many possibilities Orlando has to offer.
Depending on what you have in mind, Orlando has an incredible array of potential romantic date ideas. If you’re just diving into the dating and relationships scene here, try these ideas:
1. A picnic for two
If the restaurant scene doesn’t appeal to you and your date, or you just want to do something a little more thoughtful and creative, try getting out and exploring Lake Eola park. This is a great spot for dating since swans frequent the lake and paddle boats are always available for rental. Make sure you prepare with all the essentials of a romantic picnic and check the weather report for a heads up on the outdoor conditions. Early evening, when the sun’s beginning to go down is generally a great time to be outdoors.

2. Romantic restaurants
The Orlando area has its share of romantic restaurants to explore. You’ll find some fantastic flavors are served up at places all over town and outside the city limits, too. One of the best to explore for a really romantic dinner is the world famous Melting Pot. Here you and your date can enjoy fondue. The tables are generally candle-lit and made to be private. Other spots to consider include Victoria and Albert’s at the Disney Grand Floridian, Chalet Suzanne in nearby Lake Wales and even some of the dinner theaters in Orlando and Kissimmee.
3. A trip to the winery
The nearby Lake Ridge Winery is an excellent spot for a romantic date. Enjoy learning about the art of wine making while you take in some of the area’s finest local flavors. They even offer free tours and tastings daily.

4. Cut a rug
Disney’s Pleasure Island is a busy place, but it’s great for dating and dancing. This adults-only park offers its own array of dance clubs, romantic corridors to stroll and some incredible food, too.
5. Area theme parks
The parks can be more romantic than many realize. The truth is places like Fort Wilderness offer very romantic horse-drawn carriage rides and even the Magic Kingdom can provide a fantastic backdrop for romance with its nightly fireworks shows.
Orlando might be the amusement park crown jewel of the east coast, but it’s also a hotspot for romantic date ideas. Getting out and exploring this city and its nearby communities will prove there is more to the area than roller coasters and high admission prices. Orlando is a great place for romance, too.
