One wonderful way to celebrate February 14 is having a
romantic Valentine's Day dinner at home. You could follow that with doing something you love or discovering something new. Some places in DFW offer an unforgettable experience.
You can even go to a haunted house. That may not scream romance, but it may have participants screaming.
Here are 6 ideas for a fun DFW date night to celebrate Valentine's Day. Check the dates as some occur before February 14.
- Opera Shots
What happens when you blend opera with beer? You get Opera Shots. Fort Worth Opera presents Opera Shots at Grapevine Craft Brewery on 906 Jean St, Grapevine, Texas 76051. It'll be a night of operatic favorites and drinks. It's a free event as long as
attendees RSVP.
- Valentine's Gala
Head to
Keith and Margo's Murder Mystery Texas where you'll check in with your Murder Mystery Hosts. They'll give you a welcome letter with instructions. Be sure to come in your Sunday best as it's a semi-formal affair consisting of interrogations, dancing, and noshing.
