William & Mary: Off-campus dates

You'll need a car to get to Richmond, but this part-park, part-zoo estate makes for an enjoyable day.

On a warm evening, enjoy a ferry ride across the James River.

Treat your date to a cool ice cream/sno-cone dessert. Pick from a wide selection of flavors.

Enjoy a romantic late-night stroll through the empty lantern-lit streets after all of the crowds have gone home.

Make an afternoon study date under the shade trees by the pond. Don't forget bread for the geese.

You don't have to drive all the way to Virginia Beach to lay out on the sand. The Riverwalk is only 20 minutes from campus.

Enjoy a nice dinner in downtown Hampton and catch a late show at the IMAX theater.

Take a paddle boat out on the lake or go hiking on one the park's many trails.

For a breakfast date, head to Mama Steve's for excellent pancakes.

Have a lakeside picnic in this wooded park, just a few miles out of town.
