For the romantics

UW-Whitewater Young Auditorium Performance

Young Auditorium: Whitewater, WI

Late September in Whitewater means back-to-school, not only for kids but the university, too, and that means a new season of performances at Young Auditorium. Keep the night romantic with dinner at Fanatico and catch a ballet, or keep it casual with a burger and fries at Fat Jacks and catch a concert. No matter what, you've had a good meal and added some inspiration to your night.

 

For the outdoor lovers

Bald Bluff Scenic Overlook: Whitewater, WI

Being surrounded by so much wildlife has amazing perks. Whitewater provides ample opportunities to observe the changing of the seasons whether from the ground or above the trees. Grab your date and head to Bald Bluff Scenic Overlook and State Natural Area, one of the highest points in Jefferson County. Learn the history of the land on your 1/2-mile climb. Then soak in the beautiful sights of autumn in the Kettle Moraine State Forest.

 

For sweethearts with a sweet tooth

Ice cream at Rosa's: Whitewater, WI

Summer may be over, but it's not too cold for ice cream yet! If you and your love want to enjoy a no-frills date afternoon/night, take yourselves out for ice cream at sleek pizza joint, Rosa's, or 1950s-inspired burger joint, Brain Freeze. Get different flavors and share or mix your cone or dish up with two flavors each and get the best of all the worlds.
