Things to Do Together
Moss Rock Preserve
Take a hike in the Moss Rock Preserve: The 350-acre nature preserve offers a beautiful escape right in Hoover — trails, streams and a boulder field make it more than just a “walk in the park.”
Hit the lanes: Try mini bowling at the Tap-Ins golf simulator in Knox Square or visit one of the full bowling alleys just outside of Hoover (Vestavia Bowl, Oak Mountain Lanes or Bowlero Riverview). This gives you a playful, competitive date without the pressure of a fancy setting. You can add arcade games between frames to keep the energy fun and casual. It’s great for a first date or a relaxed night out.
Bluff Park Ice Cream Shoppe
Grab a scoop: Grab some cold treats at one of the city’s ice cream shops, such as Bluff Park Ice Cream Shoppe, The Whole Scoop, Near Me, Baskin-Robbins or Kilwins.
