Bribsane is brimming with not-so-typical activities so head out to new places and do something different and make wonderful memories out in the city. Here are some of the best picks for a romantic night in the river city.

Moreton Bay on a Cruise

Brisbane is far from shy when it comes to natural wonders and one such gem just off the coast is the Moreton Islands. Perfect spot to spend a quality day on the waters exploring the pristine waters and white sandy beaches, Moreton Bay is an ideal holiday destination, especially for couples. A must-visit for nature lovers, the ideal way to go around exploring the bay is to hop on a cruise which is well worth your time and money. One of the popular operators in these parts, Aria cruises offer incredible experiences on the waterfront where you can explore the scenic landscapes of the region while indulging in some water-related activities like boom netting, paddle-boarding, beach games and aqua mat. Get to know a wide range of marine animals and shorebirds that thrive here as you traverse across numerous instagrammable locations. Who knows, you may even stumble upon the Indo-pacific bottlenose dolphins and Australian humpback dolphins which call the bay home. On the Moreton Bay cruises you also get to relish on a delicious lunch which features a variety of seafood and other locally inspired cuisines.

Level Up at an Arcade Centre

You know what they say about arcades? People who hit the arcades together stay together. Just kidding! But visiting an arcade centre with your favourite person is a top-notch experience and Brisbane has a few options to consider. Netherworld in Fortitude Valley is one such arcade centre offering impressive crafted beers, arcade and board games, retro setting with old-school music, yummy food, and a laid back cheers-like vibe. You will be hooked the moment you step foot in this fantasy land of booze and games. There are also other options in the vicinity which lets you shoot hoops, show off your dance skills, tap with your other half at Holey Moley and much more. Some arcade centres also have dodgem cars and bowling alleys so check them out as well!

Let Things Fly or Break Things!

Yes, most usual dates do not involve throwing things but we’re not talking about normal anymore. If this sounds like your thing and you're looking to hurl some hatchets for fun, head to some of the axe-throwing joints in the city. For those who prefer throwing darts, you can head to Oche in Fortitude Valley which is all about flinging projectiles in an electronic version of the sport, unlike anything you have experienced before! And if you prefer hurling things like printers into bits and pieces, head to Rage Cage. The folks here are professional in taking the stress out of you, managing your anger and even getting a workout from you by destroying things with a baseball bat.

Cuddle a Native Animal

Everything seems brighter and positive when you cuddle a friendly critter and you can do just that in the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, which is a popular tourist attraction in the city. This is the oldest koala sanctuary in the world and is a must-visit for couples especially if you're wildlife lovers. You and your significant other can cuddle a koala, hold an owl, touch some slithering friends, feed kangaroos and watch the rare echidnas, birds of prey, turtles, and Tasmanian devils in action.
