After your trek, fill your bellies with a tasty BBQ lunch from the Lazy Llama restaurant to finish off your llama-themed date.

Something a bit different

Maybe you’re not the classic lovey-dovey romantic and you’re in the mood for something a bit more left-field. If you’re in the mood for fun, adventure, or a quirky date look no further, with the below Valentine’s Day date ideas putting an entertaining twist on love!

Show your date that your love has no limits, with an adrenaline-fueled tree-top obstacle course and overnight stay in a quirky cabin at The Jungle just outside Moneymore. Show how brave you are by tackling different obstacles from cargo nets to wobbly bridges and ziplines, all while you’re 75 feet off the ground – it’s perfect to get your date’s heart racing in more ways than one! Once you’ve conquered heights like Tarzan, unwind with your Jane/John in one of The Jungle’s quirky A-Frame cabins, offering a cozy and unique retreat for a memorable Valentine’s escape.

Do you want to give Cupid a run for his money? Take your date for some target shooting at The Jungle with some archery and clay pigeon shooting. Show off your aim as you attempt to hit bullseyes during archery and break clays rather than hearts during clay pigeon shooting. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be James Bond to do these activities, as trained instructors will be on hand to show you the ropes, ensuring you have a blast while staying safe, but keeping a considerate distance to give you some privacy. Plus, with both activities taking place in stunning outdoor surroundings, your date will not be the only thing you won’t be able to take your eyes off.
