How it works: You and your date will receive clues, riddles and puzzles to your phones through WhatsApp that you need to work out together to take you on an adventure through the CBD. Is there anything more romantic than sitting next to your date to watch a movie while also watching the sunset against Sydney Harbour? No, probably not. Grabbing tickets for Westpac Outdoor Cinema is one of the best date ideas in Sydney to really impress that special someone.
Bring movie night outdoors by taking your seats to watch new as in, still on at the movies movies on a screen right on the edge of the Harbour. PSST: If you opt for general seating, bring a marker pen. Also, bring a rain jacket. The venue hosts a whole number of activities and events that you can book breakfast with koalas, anyone?
Outdoor escape rooms like these transform Sydney into a giant, romantic escape room by letting the pair of you explore, work together and breathe the fresh air - the perfect compromise between romance and adventure.
Although only available for a limited time, the Sculpture By The Sea exhibition on the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk is a must-see - and one of the best date ideas in Sydney. Don't fancy Bondi today? Go and see the adorable animal sculpture trail from Manly to Shelly Beach. If you don't believe me, look at these penguins. And I saw a blue tongue last time I was here, too. The restaurant sits right on the beach at Watsons Bay, delivering incredible skyline views of the CBD just beyond the water.
