For Couples
Every power couple needs a break from the day-to-day grind, especially to spend a romantic day or evening out in Arlington. Better yet? Make it a weekend getaway! We've taken the stress out of planning that perfect romantic trip by pulling together a helpful list of the top places in Arlington, TX for couples.
Start Your Date On The Right Foot
Take a romantic stroll through one of over 90 green spaces in Arlington. Pack a brunch picnic or pick up something sweet from Nothing Bundt Cakes or Sugar Bee Sweets Bakery, then head out to Crystal Canyon Natural Area, Veterans Park, or River Legacy Parks. If you're looking for the perfect spot for a romantic selfie for the ‘Gram, strike a pose on the pedestrian bridge over the Trinity River connecting the Green Oaks and Collins Street entrances to River Legacy Parks.
Or, if your partner in crime loves art, don't miss Meadowbrook Sculpture Park at Meadowbrook Park. You'll have a chance to meander hand-in-hand through beautiful scenery while viewing original, thought-provoking sculptures. Even if you've been here before, it's worth a second look as new sculptures are added each year. Or check out the new Dream Park in Downtown Arlington for the latest public art additions to Arlington.
See the Sights
After lunch, treat your date to the incredible arts and culture scene that Arlington has to offer. Spend the afternoon taking in stunning works of art at The Gallery at UT Arlington or Arlington Museum of Art. Both feature rotating exhibits of breathtaking artwork from regional and international artists that are sure to spark a conversation. One of our favorite couple activities is to take in a live performance at either Arlington Music Hall or the Arlington Symphony — be sure to check their schedules of upcoming performances.
Dinner for Two
Make it a perfect ending with a romantic, upscale dinner for two. Make a reservation at Tierre Verde's Ventana Grille for a delectable four-course meal at the luxurious Tierre Verde Golf Club. Or, enjoy a leisurely dinner of fondue at The Melting Pot. Alternatively, tuck into a comforting bowl of angel hair pasta with baby clams at Piccolo Mondo, a cozy Italian favorite with its own piano bar.
Another romantic spot to relish a tasty dinner with your love is Restaurant506. Let the culinary team delight your taste buds with one of their seasonal offerings while you relax with a bottle of exquisite wine.
Where to Stay
You and your better half can stay the night at the Sanford House Inn & Spa, one of Arlington’s finest lodging options featuring elegant accommodations and a full-service spa. So go ahead, order that second glass of wine with dinner, and be sure to book a couples massage for the next morning.
Looking for other charming B&B options? Check out The Thornton Inn Bed & Breakfast, a cozy, refurbished historic home with five luxurious guest rooms. Each room includes a private bathroom and a delicious breakfast is included in the price of the room. A glass of wine and a rocking chair on the large front porch will be a wonderful way to reflect on your romantic day.
If you'd prefer an upscale hotel to end your perfect date, look no further because Arlington has plenty to choose from with chic accommodations and relaxing atmospheres where you can let your stress melt away.
