1. Try a kicked-Up Coffee

Vintage Paris in Hollister is anything but your typical coffee spot. Its cozy atmosphere and grownup beverage choices (wine and beer are available) make it a date night stop that will cater to couples with different tastes. 


2. Get A New Perspective

See Branson from a whole new perspective on the Branson Ferris Wheel. This ride is perfect for a date night – it's chill enough that you can carry on a conversation and thrilling enough to make it interesting. 


3. Solve a Murder Mystery

Okay, this one is a Valentine's Special at Shepherd of the Hills…but this dinner and a show is anything but typical. The dark comedy in this one is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

OR, if staying in is more your speed, order a kit from Broadway Murder Mystery Party Games and play at home. And great news! You can get 50% off right now with CertifiKID.


4. Have a Jack & Rose Moment

The Titanic Museum is a great date destination for history buffs, and this year is the perfect time to visit. It's the 25th anniversary of the Titanic film, so you'll even find new gift shop items referencing the unforgettable characters. 


5. Throw an Axe at the Branson Landing

If axe throwing sounds a touch aggressive to you, give Landing Axes a try. Its fun and welcoming atmosphere is the perfect backdrop to a little friendly competition with your date. Bonus: when you're finished throwing axes, you can go shopping at the Landing!
