Things To Do In Kansas City For Couples
Kansas City is not just a place for delicious BBQ but also a playground for couples seeking some fun and romance. Keep reading to learn more.
1. Visit a drive-in movie theatre
Not too long ago, drive-ins were the place to be on date night. With only about 300 drive-in theaters still in operation, Kansas City is lucky enough to have one nearby. Tap into your dating nostalgia, grab some popcorn, and see a movie under the stars. So romantic!
- Boulevard Drive-In Theatre (Kansas City, KS): Admission is $15 per person (CASH ONLY) for the double feature. Tune into 89.7FM on your car stereo and listen to the movie from inside your vehicle or bring your lawn chairs and listen to the pole speakers. The drive-in is open on Fridays & Saturdays from April to September.
2. See a performance at the Kauffman Center
The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts hosts a variety of performances throughout the year. Whether you’re interested in ballet, opera, or theater, it definitely makes for one of the top date ideas in Kansas City for couples.
For a fun and memorable performance, I recommend seeing the Kansas City Symphony perform iconic scores from your favorite movies (e.g., Star Wars and Harry Potter) as you watch the film in unison.
3. Listen to live jazz at Lonnie’s Reno Club
Rated the #1 most entertaining show in Kansas City, enjoy an upscale dining experience while listening to the infamous Ronnie McFadden play classic Kansas City jazz music.
Located in the Ambassador Hotel in downtown KC, this jazz club is a hidden gem in the city and a perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion!
Note: Lonnie only performs on Fridays and Saturdays so be sure to plan accordingly. Reserve your table at Lonnie’s Reno Club here.
Other recommend spots to listen to jazz music in the city:
- Green Lady Lounge
- Black Dolphin
- The Blue Room
- The Majestic Restaurant
- The Phoenix (Sunday brunch)
- Hey! Hey! Club at J. Rieger & Co (Thursdays)
- Westport Coffeehouse
- Mutual Musicians Foundation (live jazz Fri & Sat after 1:30 am)
4. Enjoy food & beer pairings at Boulevard Brewing Company
Book the Smokestack Tour & Tasting and enjoy a two-hour Boulevard experience including a brewery tour plus four bites expertly paired with the perfect BLVD beers. For visitors doing a day trip to Kansas City, I always suggest including a visit to Boulevard Brewing.
As a bonus, the guides are super knowledgeable and hugely entertaining! Tours are available from Monday to Thursday for adults aged 21+ at $40 per person.
5. Attend a sports event
A four-sport city, Kansas City is home to several major professional teams including the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, Sporting KC, and KC Current.
Fun fact: Kansas City Current’s new CPKC Stadium at Berkley Riverfront Park is the first in the US built specifically for a professional women’s soccer team.
The city has so much pride in its sports teams and the electric atmosphere at the games reflects that — Arrowhead Stadium holds the record for the loudest outdoor open-air stadium after all!
Add a tailgate party (be sure to check out Chiefs Lot J Tailgating Crew) before the game and you will have a fun date to remember for years.
P.S. Kansas City also has tons of Chiefs murals for a cute couple’s photo!
6. Explore Union Station
One of Kansas City’s most iconic landmarks, Union Station has been transformed into a cultural hub and features many exhibits, restaurants, and shops.
Take a tour of the station, watch a show at the planetarium, catch a film at their movie theater, test your skills at an escape room, visit world-class touring exhibitions (like our personal favorite, Auschwitz: Not long ago, Not far away.), or enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants. You could easily spend the whole day here!
TIP: End the night by grabbing a drink at the Conductor Club. It’s a new rotating-themed cocktail bar tucked away in a hidden corner of the historic Union Station and one you don’t want to miss. Be sure to make reservations in advance!
7. Chow down on Kansas City-style barbecue
“Kansas City” and “barbecue” go together like two peas in a pod. With over 100 barbecue restaurants in the KC metro area, you’ll be sure to find something to tickle your barbecue fancy.
For a good date spot, I would recommend Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que (located inside a gas station), Q39, or a relative newcomer, Chef J BBQ.
8. Watch an innovative performance by Quixotic
Quixotic is an event entertainment company that fuses imagination with technology to create a fully immersive, multi-sensory experience.
The performance group, branded an “innovative circus ensemble” by The New York Times, provides you with a Cirque du Soleil-style show mixed with a Kansas City flavor. It’s another one of my top picks for a date night in KC! Click here to find an upcoming show.
In mid-September every year, you also have the opportunity to experience Terra Luna by Quixotic at the Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. Instead of viewing the performance group on a stage, here you get up close and personal with the dancers, musicians, and aerial acrobats as you stroll through the garden.
If you’re reading this in October and feeling like you missed out on the event mentioned above, don’t worry. Quixotic presents a similar immersive multimedia walk-through installation in the woods known as Dark Forest at Powell Gardens, offered during the final three weekends of October.
9. Wine tasting
Kansas City is home to some of the best wineries in the region, and what better way to spend a romantic afternoon than by sampling some wine with your significant other? Here are some of my personal favorites:
Amigoni Urban Winery, located in the historic Daily Drover Telegram building, offers a beautiful and intimate setting that is perfect for couples. You can enjoy a variety of wine flights while pairing it with a delicious cheese board.
KC Wine Co is a boutique winery located in Olathe, Kansas, and always keeps a packed calendar. Here you can enjoy live music, food trucks, wine slushies, music bingo, and dog-friendly events.
Jowler Creek Vineyard and Winery, located just 30 minutes from downtown Kansas City, is a family-owned winery that offers a unique and eco-friendly experience. You can take a tour of the vineyard before settling in for a wine tasting on the patio.
If you’re looking for something a little more upscale, head to the Somerset Ridge Vineyard and Winery. This winery is located in the rolling hills of Miami County and offers stunning countryside views and live music.
10. Grab a drink under the stars at The Mercury Room
Delicious cocktails, sweeping views of downtown, and thousands of LED lights twinkling above you set the stage for the perfect romantic date night setting.
A swanky bar located in the Crossroads, The Mercury Room makes you feel like you’ve stepped inside an exclusive club in the city.
With just twenty-eight seats inside, I would highly recommend making a reservation to reserve your spot.
11. Dance the night away at Guitars & Cadillacs
Yee-haw, y’all! This KC original live country music venue and dance hall is the perfect place to let loose and soak up your favorite tunes! Don’t worry, you do not have to be a professional two-stepper to have a good time (there’s no judgment here).
Note: Expect to pay a $5 cover charge 6-9 p.m. and $10 9 p.m. to close on Friday and Saturday.
12. Play pickleball at Chicken N Pickle
It’s no secret that pickleball has taken the U.S. by storm. Enjoy some friendly competition with your partner to see who will earn bragging rights. It’s one of the most fun things to do in Kansas City for couples and also makes for a good double-date spot!
Afterward, enjoy some tasty food and beverages at the “chicken” portion of Chicken N Pickle. You’ve earned it!
Note: SERV recently opened in Overland Park and is another great spot to play pickleball with 6 indoor courts and 2 outdoor courts.
13. Roll the dice: casino date
Enjoy one of several casinos in Kansas City, from Argosy Casino to my personal favorite, Ameristar Casino. Whether you hit the jackpot or have a few laughs at the slot machines, a date at a casino provides an atmosphere filled with entertainment. P.S. You can even make a whole night out of it and stay at one of the casino hotels nearby (not advised if this is your first date 😉).
14. Art-themed mini golf
Head over to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and enjoy a date that will be sure to satisfy you both. This 9-hole course presents a creative interpretation of a work of art in the museum’s collection.
There’s even a snack bar nearby that sells local favorites like Betty Rae’s ice cream and beer from Martin City Brewery that you can take with you and enjoy on the course. Art course pricing is $18 for adults and $14 for museum members. All tickets include access to the museum. Ready to play? Book your tee time here.
15. Take a dip at Shawnee Mission Park Beach
Shawnee Mission Park Beach was named the best beach in Kansas by Money Magazine. The beach opened in 2018 boasting a sizable lakefront swimming area as well as a sand volleyball court, shaded concession area, and restroom facilities.

Each summer, The Theatre in the Park (7710 Renner Road) presents five popular Broadway-style musicals at their outdoor amphitheater for an affordable price. The cast features actors from surrounding neighborhoods and is a much-loved community tradition.

The Starlight Theatre presents another great opportunity for those interested in Broadway shows. This historic landmark accommodates around 8,000 seats and offers timeless favorites like The Wizard of Oz and modern sensations like Legally Blonde.
18. Go ziplining at Zip KC
Tired of the regular dinner-and-a-movie date routine? Here’s a unique date idea for adventure lovers and thrill seekers. Zip KC Adventure Park features over 9 zip lines, a suspension bridge, and a rappel tower.
Zip through the glowing trees and touch down to the earth at dusk on the Sunset Date Night Tour or book the Night Flight Tower Tour for the ultimate glow-in-the-dark adrenaline experience. It’s a great way to test your bravery and have fun together!
19. Engage in friendly competition at Top Golf

21. Have a picnic in the park
Spring has sprung and there’s no better way to enjoy the beautiful weather in Kansas City than to have a picnic date at one of these popular spots: Liberty Memorial or The Nelson-Atkins Lawn. Or if you’re looking for something a little more secluded, head to Loose Park. The park features a beautiful rose garden and a tranquil pond, making it the perfect place to enjoy a romantic picnic.
If you want the ultimate luxury picnic experience, book Pop Up Picnics KC who will take care of all of the details for you—provide food (small snacks), set up, and service—so you both can sit back and relax. I booked this for my husband and me this past September and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience! Book a package here.
22. Go to a farmer’s market
Change things up with a fun daytime date activity – complete with delicious local food. Stroll past the different vendors and sample homemade jams and baked goods, and maybe even round up some local ingredients before heading home to make brunch together or take it to a nearby park for a picnic. See below for my recommendations for the best farmer’s markets in the Kansas City metro area:
Located in the historic River Market neighborhood, City Market offers fresh produce, local goods, and an array of spices. The market is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. all year round (only Saturdays from January to March) and is conveniently located on the KC Streetcar route.
The Overland Park Farmers Market is open on Saturdays from mid-April to the end of September (7:30 am – 1 pm) and from early October to mid-November (8 am – 12 pm). The market offers farm, fresh produce, and artisan foods as well as food stands from local restaurants in the area.
Pro Tip: Score some brownie points by purchasing one of the beautiful flower bouquets for your sweetheart. You can find these in both markets.
23. Visit a museum
Kansas City is home to many museums and galleries that make for a great affordable date. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is one of the city’s most popular museums and features over 35,000 works of art from all over the world.
Take a leisurely stroll through the museum’s many galleries and admire the impressive collection that spans thousands of years. Non-members need to reserve free tickets in order to visit anywhere within the museum.
Another great museum that is free to visit is the Kansas City Museum which has been recently restored and renovated with all new history and humanities-based exhibits, installations, and amenities. Note: The museum is closed Monday-Wednesday.
24. Experience “First Fridays”
On the First Friday of every month of the year, the Crossroads Art District and West Bottoms transform into one big block party. It’s basically a holiday in Kansas City! You can enjoy live entertainment, visit art galleries, and explore the local shops.
Street parking can be limited during First Fridays, but there are alternative options such as parking at the TWA Building (1740 Main) or in the Arts District Garage next to the Kauffman Center. Private lots are also available for around $5. Another great option is the KC Streetcar, which conveniently drops you off in the heart of the action and is completely free to use!
25. Sunday bingo at Boulevard Brewing Co.
This isn’t your grandma’s Bingo game – Boulevard hosts a weekly Sunday Bingo free of charge and gives out fun prizes such as koozies, beer, and free drink coupons. Space is limited and all guests over the age of 3 need a “ticket” to enter.
I would recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before the start time (11 a.m.) as it can get quite busy. Might I also suggest getting the Tank 7 mimosa and the much-loved biscuits and gravy while you’re there. YUM! Visit their website to reserve your spot.
Things To Do In Kansas City For Couples When It Rains
If the weather isn’t cooperating, don’t worry! There are plenty of indoor activities to choose from. Here are some of my favorite date ideas in Kansas City:
26. Take a pottery class at Belger Arts Center
Recreate the classic scene from “Ghost” and enjoy one of the date night pottery classes held at Belger Arts Center on Fridays and Saturdays. You and your sweetheart will learn how to throw on the potter’s wheel and get to decorate them afterward.
Each class costs $100 which includes clay, glazes, and firing for two people. Space is limited, so you must register at least 72 hours in advance.
27. Axe-throwing fun for two
Axe throwing in Kansas City offers a unique experience for couples looking to unleash their inner lumberjacks. From the satisfying thud of the ax hitting the target to the friendly competition between partners, it’s a thrilling activity that promises plenty of laughter and memorable moments.
Experience axe throwing at Blade & Timber with two locations (Power & Light District and Leawood, KS) or Bury the Hatchet KC in Overland Park.
28. Shuffleboard at Ludos
A quirky little bar in Martini Corner, Ludo’s Shuffleboards has 3 shuffleboard lanes and vintage Gottlieb’s pinball machines. Beer, wine, and specialty cocktails are available for purchase at the bar.
Stepping into Ludo’s makes you feel like you are stepping back in time. Dim lighting, retro booth seating, and neon signs set the mood. With just a $10 lane reservation fee, Ludo’s is the perfect laid-back date night spot. Reserve a shuffleboard lane here.

Pro Tip: Request a seat in the front row as the comedians will likely incorporate you into their jokes. Find upcoming shows and book your tickets here.
The comedy club does offer appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, etc, but if you have time, I would recommend eating dinner beforehand at Jaspers across the street (voted one of the top 25 Italian restaurants in the U.S.).
31. Paint and sip
Enjoy a creative date full of fun, wine, and painting in Kansas City! This is a popular date idea and for good reason. You can relax and let your creative juices flow and even get a nice keepsake from it.
There are several great ‘paint and sip’ spots around the KC metro including Grapes & Paints (Overland Park), Happy Trees Painting (Kansas City), Pinot’s Palette (Leawood), and The Tipsy Red Fox (Kansas City).
