Being in Philadelphia, Temple is surrounded by a ton of cool things to do. There are so many different events, festivals, restaurants and sights to see that are perfect for date nights.

If you’re looking for cheap, fun date ideas around Philly, you’ve come to the right place. Here are 15 of the coolest, cheapest things to do for your next date night.

1. South Street

South Street is always cool, even if you’re just going to walk around, hang out, or grab something to eat. If you’re looking for cheap things to eat, check out Lorenzo and Son’s Pizza. Lorenzo’s offers the biggest slice of pizza you’ll ever eat, for only $3.50!

 

2. Reel Theatre

For a great movie night, look no further than Temple! Be sure to check the schedule to find out which movies are playing, and bring your Temple ID for a $2 movie ticket! If you’re brining your S/O from another school, they can still attend the movie for $4!

 

3. Ice Skating at Dilworth Park

The Rothman ice skating rink opens each winter by mid-November. For only $15, skaters get admission and a pair of rental skates to hangout by city hall for a beautiful night.

 

4. Spruce Street Harbor Park

If the winter season and the cold nights aren’t really you’re thing, you could wait for the spring time to hangout at Spruce Street Harbor Park. Eat some food, kick back in a hammock, or play giant games of chess, Connect Four, or Jenga! The best part? Park admission is free!

Embrace your artistic side and head down to Graffiti Pier. Check out Philly’s unique display of street art, maybe get a chance to see artists create new additions, and embrace the wonderful smell of spray paint.
