What types of things can you do with a teenager for an evening out?

Question

I have a 15 yr old daughter. Once in a great while, she will agree to a night out with me rather than hanging with her friends. We usually go to a fun restaurant of her choice.. then we seem to be stuck for ideas on what to do afterwards. Besides a movie or bowling... what else is there for a parent and teen to do for entertainment. As adults, we tend to go to a bar and watch a band play, but thats out when you are under 21. Ideas anyone?

Answer 1

You can both enjoy a theater play, go skating, go walk in the mall, go shopping, go out for ice-cream or a nice hot mocha, or a walk in the park, but dress nice and warm. Spending time together is what counts!
