This can be used for Staten Island.
Monster Mini Golf is a glow-in-the-dark mini golf/ arcade place. I went to two separate locations. Both of them were practically empty (you can probably call them to find out when it's usually quiet). There may be somewhat loud music playing (not too loud). Although it's dark, it's not too dark for comfort. It's located in Edison, and its 15-30 min. from Staten Island (there is a toll both ways). (There are numerous branches located throughout the country.) I don't see someone spending much more than 1.5 hours there. There are few places to eat in/near Edison if you finish early. They're open weekdays from 2-10, Sunday from 12-10, and Motzei Shabbos until 12.

Arcades, rides, pool tables, and bar. A great option for the Lakewood girl. It is a recreation of an indoor beach and gives you the feel of the boardwalk. It does have loud music, but still enjoyable.

bury the hatchet - paramus
49 E Midland Ave
Paramus, NJ 07652
(201) 688-3358
This is a very fun activity, where you learn the sport of axe throwing. You will most likely be placed in a group with other random people, and split into teams and they will try to get you to befriend each other. Sessions are for 1.5 hours, and reservations are required. You can save a bit by purchasing from Groupon, especially if there's a promo. Should cost around $75 for two without a promo code.
*Groupon is valid only at the Paramus location.

Color Me Mine (Ridgewood, NJ)
254 East Ridgewood Avenue
Ridgewood, NJ 07450
(201) 612-3320
The Color Me Mine in Ridgewood has a nice selection of things to paint and they are reasonably priced as well. Also the workers there are very helpful and will answer all your questions.
Pottery Places: At a pottery place you paint a ceramic object of your choice like a bowl or a mug or something like that. It usually takes one to two hours to complete. Pottery places are good for later dates when you are presuming (or hoping) that you will still be dating around 2 weeks later when you can pick up the items you painted. That being said, you shouldn't save a "pottery date" until you are definitely getting engaged, because if you both enjoy the activity it can certainly advance your dating. Pottery is also a good date for engaged or married couples as it's nice and relaxing, it lets you be creative, and you leave with something for your home. Everyone should try it at least once; you never know, maybe you are more artistic than you think!

IKEA
100 IKEA Dr.
Paramus, NJ 07652

Store Hours: Monday - Saturday: 10:00am - 10:00pm Sunday: CLOSED*
I know your looking at this list of "Fun Things" and you are wondering what on Earth is Ikea doing here? So I'll tell you: when I first started dating I got bored of doing lounges; for the first date I still went to lounges but for the second date I needed a change. So I asked around yeshiva and someone suggested Ikea to me, saying he went there a number of times on dates. To me it sounded a little strange but I'm always open to new ideas so I tried it out and I used Ikea many times since then. Ikea is set up like a trail with arrows along the floor guiding you from section to section. It is a series of completely set up "rooms" like living rooms and dining rooms with couches you can sit on (if it is that type of room, in a dining room there are no couches of course). Depending on your type it can take between 45 minutes to a little more then 1 hour to got through an Ikea store. Afterwards depending on the location (and the time you get there because they close at 9) you can either sit in their cafeteria section or go to a lounge somewhere else.
This is also a good spot to go from the Monsey Area.
