Marissa & Benjamin
Things To Do
Topgolf Brooklyn Center
We love trying new things together and TopGolf was one of our favorites.
Grand Slam Family Fun Center
One of our favorite go-to date ideas is mini golf. We love how it gives us the chance to have great conversations while enjoying a little friendly competition. Grand Slam offers indoor mini golf, laser tag, and arcade games, making it a great option for the whole family!
Chili's Grill & Bar
One of our absolute favorite things to do together is go out for appetizers and a meal. Marissa worked at Chili's in the summers during college and highly recommends the chips and salsa.
Buffalo Wild Wings
Sometimes a new adventure can be trying a new food! For one of our dates, we went to BWWs and tried their spiciest wings. (PS. we would highly recommend asking the waiter to refill your water BEFORE eating them)
Cathedral of Saint Paul
If you want to view beautiful and classical architecture, we would highly recommend going to the Cathedral. This is one of Ben's favorite buildings (for good reason!) and is free to visit.
Minneapolis Institute of Art
If you're looking for a free activity, the art museum is a great option! We love bringing our sketchbooks and finding two pieces next to each other to draw side by side. (At varying levels of course)
SEA LIFE at Mall of America
One of our first dates was a trip to the aquarium and is still one of Marissa's favorites. This aquarium features sharks, sea turtles, stingrays, a 300-foot ocean tunnel, a rainforest with crocodiles, and a 14-foot sawfish.
Bouldering Project - West River
If you're a bit of a daredevil like us, you might enjoy bouldering. It's a low-risk, indoor version of mountain climbing that's all about strength, strategy, and a little bit of bravery. We actually went bouldering on our very first date back in 2022, when we were just starting to get to know each other.
