Ideas for fun things to do for Williamsburg college couples. Most are far enough off-campus to require a car. All are cheap, or even free!
1. Maymont Park, Richmond
Maymont House, Richmond, Virginia
You'll need a car to get to Richmond, but this part-park, part-zoo estate makes for an enjoyable day.
2. Jamestown-Scotland Ferry
http://www.virginiadot.org/comtravel/ferry-jamestown.asp
On a warm evening, enjoy a ferry ride across the James River.
3. Sno-To-Go
http://yellowpages.williamsburg.com/Sno-To-Go.327671.81894560.home.htm...
Treat your date to a cool ice cream/sno-cone dessert. Pick from a wide selection of flavors.
4. Colonial Williamsburg after hours
Colonial Williamsburg, Williamsburg, Virginia
Enjoy a romantic late-night stroll through the empty lantern-lit streets after all of the crowds have gone home.
5. Governor's Palace Pond
Governor's Palace, Williamsburg, Virginia
Make an afternoon study date under the shade trees by the pond. Don't forget bread for the geese.
6. Yorktown Beach
Riverwalk Landing, Yorktown, Virginia
You don't have to drive all the way to Virginia Beach to lay out on the sand. The Riverwalk is only 20 minutes from campus.
7. IMAX at Virginia Air & Space Center
Virginia Air & Space Center, Hampton, Virginia
Enjoy a nice dinner in downtown Hampton and catch a late show at the IMAX theater.
8. Waller Mill Park
http://home.hamptonroads.com/funplaces/detail.cfm?placeID=1019
Take a paddle boat out on the lake or go hiking on one the park's many trails.
9. Mama Steve's
Mama Steve's House of Pancakes, Williamsburg, Virginia
For a breakfast date, head to Mama Steve's for excellent pancakes.
10. Newport News Park
