Augusta is a suitable spot for outdoor activities during the spring, summer and autumn months. Some of the local outdoor attractions in Augusta include a variety of golf courses, such as the Augusta Golf and Gardens and Augusta National Golf Club. If golfing is your thing, couples can pair up on the greens and play a round of golf with other couples or just with each other. Another outdoor activity for couples involves journeying down the historic Augusta Canal on a guided boat tour. The Augusta Canal boat tour company also offers seasonal three-hour sunset cruises and moonlight music cruises, which may be ideal for the couple that wants a romantic getaway in the evenings between April and June and between September and November. You can also enjoy an outside picnic at one of the many community parks that Augusta has to offer.
A stroll through a historic museum can make for an enjoyable afternoon for couples who are interested in Georgian history. The Augusta Museum of History, Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History, the Morris Museum of Art and even the Boyhood Home of President Woodrow Wilson -- a historical landmark -- are options for couples in Augusta who are looking to take a journey back in time. The museums are indoors, so regardless of the weather you can make plans to participate in a museum-hopping activity with your significant other. Also, keep on the lookout for special events hosted by the museums. For example, the Augusta Museum of History offers holiday events, such as Polar Express exhibit, throughout December.
A date to a live show at one of Augusta's theaters, such as the Imperial Theatre, can make for a romantic evening or an entertaining outing with other couples. Le Chat Noir is another live theater hall in Augusta, where couples can enjoy short plays and watch live standup comedy improv. The city is rich with community theater companies as well, and they offer a variety of theatrical styles for spectators including dramas, comedies and musicals.
Certain times throughout the year you can find festivals open to the public in Augusta, Georgia, such as the Westobou Festival during the first week of October.
