Google Trends just released a list of the “uniquely popular” Valentine’s Day date activities in every state… and there’s a little bit of everything.
A chunk of states in middle America are really into movies, including North Dakota, where they specified “outdoor movies.” Bundle up! It’ll only get up to the high-20s today in Fargo and at night it’ll get down to 17.
Most states prefer something more active, especially out West. Things like a pottery class (California and Arkansas) . . . mini-golf (Arizona, Nevada) . . . indoor mini-golf (Pennsylvania) . . . bowling (Michigan, Oklahoma) . . . go-karts (Washington state, Montana) . . . roller skating (Iowa) . . .Ice skating (Florida) . . . a cooking class (Louisiana, Massachusetts) . . . an escape room (New Jersey) . . . going to the aquarium (Hawaii) . . . going to a botanical garden (Georgia) . . . hitting up an arcade (Illinois) . . . and going axe-throwing (Idaho, Oregon).
People in Texas are more interested in going out for coffee . . . couples in Colorado are just looking to grab some pizza . . . New Yorkers are going to the spa . . . West Virginians like comedy shows . . . and people in Vermont are looking into the possibility of a “boat dinner.”
