Lock N Escape
This place is perfect for couple that want to try something slightly adventurous apart from simply going out for dinner. Lock N Escape is (as the name suggests) an escape room that offers 25 live and immersive escape room themes to choose from all of which would take about an hour to solve. This date idea (in our opinion) is a great bonding experience, it's fun and something you both will talk about in the future.

Chowmahalla Palace

Narsapur Forest
You can plan a day-trip to Narsapur Forest as it's located just 50km away from Hyderabad. The drive to Narsapur is a lot of fun as you'll spot peacocks, monkeys, and rabbits on your way. The jungle forms a canopy over your head, and when you finally reach the forest, we recommend exploring it as the well-defined paths in the jungle lead you to a rather secluded lake. The sunsets are beautiful at the lake, and you can chill with your friends by sitting on the rocks.
Distance from Hyderabad: Approximately 44 km
Lyzure Art Cafe
Lyzure gives you the kind of artsy date that you will remember long after Valentine’s Day is over. The space is bright and aesthetic, and the whole idea is simple – pick a workshop and spend a few hours making something together. From pottery anc candle making to rug tufting and sneaker painting, the experience is hands-on, a little chaotic, and wholesome. There’s something really nice about ditching the usual dinner routine and bonding over paint stains and inside jokes that happen in the middle of the process. You also walk about with a handmade keepsake, which makes the deal feel more personal than just another night out.

Planetarium Show At Birla Science Center
You know what’s an unexpected date idea that will impress your partner? Watching the planetarium show at the Birla Science Museum. You’re sitting in the dark, leaning back as the stone turns into a sky full of stars, planets, and galaxies while a calm voice narrates the universe like a bedtime story for adults. It’s quiet, immersive, and gives you a surreal feeling that makes conversations deeper after the show ends. After the show, you can also check out the museum itself and the art gallery as an excuse to spend the whole day together.

The Game Palacio
A date at The Game Palacio is basically flirting disguised as friendly competition. Oof, super filmy, right? Located in the Inorbit Mall, this gaming arcade is loud, neon, and pure fun. Bowling is the obvious highlight, but the real magic is in the playful chaos – arcade games, music, snacks, drinks, and the lights all around. Bond over high fives, win lots of tickets, and buy cute gifts that become keepsakes. A few hours or almost the entire day, here, you control how you want your date to go.

The Binge Town
How about a movie date but with a twist? Instead of sitting in a packed theatre, you can book a private screening room and turn it into your own little cinema universe for a few hours. Binge your favourite rom-com, a series you both love, play concert films, or even screen a playlist of memories – the space is yours to personalise. The rooms are comfy, dimly lit, and built for celebrations, so the whole experience is indulgent. You can also call them up well in advance and get the room decorated the way you want, so maybe you should ask for some hints – favourite colour, flower, things like that.

Aero Plaza
This Valentine’s Day date idea is unique, so listen up. Nothing screams late-night romance in Hyderabad quite like a spontaneous ORR drive, right? Do the same and head to Aero Plaza at RGIA. The plan is simple – roll the windows, play your favourite playlist, and cruise the ORR until the airport glow takes over. At Aero Plaza, you can grab a coffee, some desserts, and even have a filling meal with lots of options; Starbucks, McDonalds, Buffalo Wild Wings, Haldirams, Ram Ki Bandi, the list goes on. If possible, you can also book a Go-Karting session at the airport and extend the fun.

Luna Bookstore
This is a niche date idea specifically for readers. Luna Bookstore is that little corner in Hyderabad where romance lives in the shelves and in the act of buying each other books that tell deep stories. Luna Bookstore is one of the best in the city that houses timeless classics, new fiction, and lesser-known gems from across genres – philosophy, romance, thrillers, and warm stories that become easy reads. Two floors full of prose, poetry, and comics, this idea is intimate in an understated way.
