I once took a girl climbing at a wall I used to work at, it went fairly well. It helped that as an employee I had access tot he place any time and could belay without having to test or anything.
Or for the less active individuals you might try something like finding a jazz club or smaller sort of pub to go to where they have live entertainment; the atmosphere in those places can be incredible. Or, if you're looking for something quiet, maybe a book club meeting can work.
Just about anything can be a date and deviating from the old 'dinner/movie' standard can show more interest, since you're going to that extra bit of effort. The only important thing to remember is that it should be something you'll both enjoy. I once took my girl to a baseball game. It's not everyone's favourite and probably wouldn't work on too many people, but it suited both of our interests and we had a great time, so it was a good date.
