Krimson & Klover's Date Night Ideas

Hello again ladies!  This blog post will be all about new, fun and exciting date night ideas!  You know you love it when your significant other takes you out for a night on the town, don’t you?  We do too, after a long week of work and whatever else we have going on, spending some quality time with that special person is just what we need!  We decided to explore the town and give you our top picks for fun things to do that are different from the typical dinner and drinks.  Here is what we have picked, enjoy!

Galaxy Drive In

So this drive in is located about 35 miles outside of Dallas, in Ennis, TX.  We promise you it is worth the drive!  Galaxy Drive In is open 7 nights a week with up to date movies.  Here’s how it works, at this drive in you show up for a double header for only $6 per adult or $3 per child.  Your first movie choice beginning around 9:00 PM or when it is dark enough to see 10 minutes after that movie, your second movie will start, there are six different screens showing a different combination of movies.  If you want to get there early for a good spot, the theater and snack bar open at 6:00 PM, there is a mini golf course to keep you busy, $3 per game or $4 for 2 games.  Also you are allowed to bring your furry friends with you to the drive in if you choose.  Galaxy Drive In does not allow you to bring outside food or drinks, but you will see their snack bar has a lot to choose from at EXTREMELY reasonable prices.  If you need any additional information, here is the website: http://www.galaxydriveintheatre.com/

Shakespeare in the Park

This is an awesome concept!  You get to see Shakespeare’s work in the comfort of a park setting!  Currently there are three plays in rotation, so check their website to pick a night to go http://www.shakespearedallas.org/.  While the parks offer concessions, they allow you to bring in coolers with your own food as well as beer & wine.  Currently they are running their plays on the Samuell Grand Park stage, located in East Dallas.  They also have stages located in Addison Circle and close to White Rock Lake.  If you go to or have been to one of these, tell us about your experience! 

 

Dallas Arboretum Concerts

Our next choice does not start back up until September, but we love concerts at the Arboretum.  The Arboretum has been voted Best Concert Venue by D Magazine.  They have hosted bands such as Asleep at the Wheel and Emerald City.  So pack up your blankets or chairs, a cooler with a yummy meal or snack and your favorite beverage (you can bring in alcohol), get out there and enjoy an amazing view of White Rock Lake paired with great tunes!  Their concert series starts back up September 5^th; check out their page for concert details and FAQ http://www.dallasarboretum.org/concerts/.

 

Black Watch Charters

This option is SO romantic, it can be pricey, but sometimes we need to spoil ourselves!  Black Watch Charters offer a few packages for sailing on Lake Grapevine, if you call them I am sure they will customize anything you would like.  The first option is a Fireworks Sail under the Texas Night Sky, every Friday from Memorial Day to Labor Day, the City of Grapevine and Gaylord Texan Hotel team together to put on lavish firework shows.  You get a 3 hour sailing trip ending with this firework show.  The next option is a Romantic Dinner Cruise.  This sail is 3 hours as well, it includes a 4-5 course Italian meal, bottle of wine and personal flower arrangements…sounds amazing!  Their last package could be fun with a group of friends, Texas Style Sailing BBQ Picnic.  This package includes BBQ sandwiches, chips, dessert and a bucket of ice cold beverages!  These date options sound like SO much fun!

 

Klyde Warren Park

Our last choice for fun date ideas is Klyde Warren Park!  Dallas did an awesome job with this fun, active park!  There is always something going on here for a great date night including plays, musical events and art festivals.  Check out their calendar to see what you may enjoy.  http://www.klydewarrenpark.org/Things-To-Do/index.html

 

We hope this page gave you some ideas for fun and unique date night ideas, if you decide to do any of them, please update us on your experience!  We would love to hear how it went! (We love pictures too!)
