Dallas Date Night Ideas

It might just be me, but lately, it has been hard to find an evening or weekend that Alex and I don’t have plans for. When we do find an evening without anything going on, we are usually stumped about what to do. We enjoy some time at home with @sirwinstonphillips but love a fun date night. I have listed some of our favorite Dallas date night ideas! If you are looking for a great place for a dinner date, be sure to check out my favorite restaurants in Dallas! xoxo

Late Nights at the Dallas Museum of Art – The Dallas Museum of Art keeps its doors open until midnight on the third Friday of each month. They welcome guests with social lectures, live music, and multiple bars. This is the perfect way to see the many beautiful collections at the DMA and it cost less than admission to a movie. Admission costs $10/person and is free for DMA members.

Topgolf – You don’t have to be a pro, or heck, even know how to hold a golf club to enjoy Topgolf. Each bay is well equipped with fans and heaters to make sure you’re comfortable in any weather. They also offer an extensive menu with some pretty delicious options. There are multiple locations across the metroplex.

Perot Museum Social Science – This museum is not just for kids! Stop by the Perot for one of their Social Science events to avoid busloads of screaming kids. Social Science is an evening of adult-only museum fun offered on a Friday every quarter. Tickets go quickly, so you might want to plan ahead for this date.

Sur La Table cooking class – Alex and I have been to a few cooking classes at Sur La Table and always have the best time. We end up learning so much and make a second date night trying to recreate everything we made in the class. You get to eat as you cook and the classes are BOYB, just be sure to wear shoes you can stand in all night.

Galleria Ice Rink (during the holidays) – Unless you absolutely hate ice skating as I do, the Galleria ice rink is the perfect holiday date to get everyone in the spirit. The properly oversized Christmas tree, the smell of Starbucks coffee, and the excuse to hold hands are the makings of a perfect evening. Admission is $12 during public skating hours, and skate rentals are $3.

Specialty screenings at Alamo Drafthouse – The dine-in movie theatre offers specialty screenings for new and old movies regularly. We recently enjoyed seeing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 35 mm film with time-relevant trailers. Times, prices, and availability vary based on location.

Dallas Trolley Tour – Learn something new about the city of Dallas, with over 100 sights and facts along the way. You are welcome to hop on and off at any of the 14 stops giving you the opportunity to try new restaurants, coffee shops, or bars. It is free to ride the trolly, but if you would like to join in on the tour, tickets are $29.

Sporting Event – One of my favorite things about Dallas, is the fact that we have a professional Football, Basketball, Baseball, Hockey, and Soccer team in our backyard. Ticket prices vary, but if you find reasonably priced options, a sporting event is always an eventful and fun date.

Picnic in Klyde Warren – The park is the perfect spot to stop for lunch while exploring downtown. A meal at Savor restaurant, food trucks, or a packed picnic all make great date days.
