5 Fun Date Ideas in Fort Worth




It's Friday, I'm in love.

I was lucky enough to have been swept off my feet two years ago by the perfect man for me and we've been together ever since. It's been really special to get to explore Fort Worth together since we are not natives. We've stumbled upon a couple fun ideas that are unique to Fort Worth and its a shame not to share them with you.

If you want to explore Fort Worth with a significant other or a friend you want to get to know just a bit better, there are so many great places to do that in Fort Worth. I've come up with 5 great date ideas that go beyond just a typical dinner date and a movie.




1. Recently, we decided to go check out the Rahr & Sons Brewery in South Fort Worth. This might not seem like the most obvious date spot, but we had a great time together. I am not a huge beer drinker, but the fact that this brewery was started by a TCU alum was enough reason for me to get excited about going. They have 2 hour tastings and tours twice weekly - Wednesdays from 5-7 and Saturdays from 1-3. It's a fun place to grab a drink and chat. When the weather's nice, they have food trucks outside and benches to sit on. Plus, its cheap! For $5 you get up to 3 beers and you get to keep the special Rahr & Sons glass.  Find out more on their website. 701 Galveston Avenue, Fort Worth, TX 76104.



2. Our trip to the Fort Worth Water Gardens has been one of the coolest places we've been on a date in Fort Worth. Not only are they beautiful but the gardens are free to boot! Grab a picnic and a blanket and find a spot at the gardens at night. We went kind of by chance, but we could not believe that more people didn't go there! Everyone in Fort Worth should experience this urban playground. Bring a camera - or you'll wish you had! They are located between Houston & Commerce along W. Lancaster Ave. 1502 Commerce Street, Fort Worth, TX 76102.




3. The two of you can head to the Fort Worth Food Park for a new twist on the day date. Enjoy a variety of gourmet dishes served up by some of the area's top local chefs all in one serene park-like setting in the heart of Fort Worth’s cultural and entertainment district. The Park is pet-friendly and all food trucks accept credit cards. Try Fort Worth favorites such as Salsa Limon for lunch and follow up with something sweet like Red Jett Sweets' cupcakes. The park is open Thursday through Sunday. Visit their website for hours and more on the park. 2509 Weisenberger St., Fort Worth, TX 76107.
    

4. Fort Worth is bringing back the drive-in movie. Coyote Drive-In is one of Panther Island's newest additions. For only $8 you can see two back to back movies - any day of the week. Come enjoy the atmosphere of the lushly landscape patio pavilion. They have big-screen TVs, great music, plenty of shade and spectacular views of beautiful downtown Fort Worth. Money saving tip: Wednesdays they offer 1/2 price bottle of wine. Coyote Drive-In is located north of downtown Fort Worth off of Main Street near LaGrave Field. Check out their website for movie showings and more information. 223 NE 4th St., Fort Worth, TX 76164.
