Couples Itinerary

Powered by Top Golf technology, 5 Under Golf Center is a high-tech gaming facility that has much more than just virtual golf. Their swing suites are the ultimate date night to challenge your partner to a playful round. You set the difficulty and pick your game from zombie dodgeball and baseball to computer-simulated carnival games. They have a full kitchen and bar and frequently have live music. But if you prefer to go old school, Colorado Canyon’s putt putt, laser tag, and arcade are another way to get competitive while acting like kids again.

For the ‘90s and ‘80s babies, roller skating is an ode to our childhood. At Manning’s Texas on Wheels, spin, glide, and skate into each other’s arms and hearts. Check the weekly schedule because they regularly have special skate nights for cosmic glow skates and NERF Wars to really set the tone for romance.

Another classic date activity, hit the lanes at Crossroads Bowling Center, Main Event or Star Bowling Bar & Grill, where you can play the pins while feasting on fair food like funnel cakes, meat on a stick, and frozen cocktails.

If you’re more into divey destinations, Eddie’s Tavern is the quintessential pool hall. Get competitive over a game of darts, foosball, or giant beer pong, or make it an Olympics-style round-robin to determine who is the ultimate bar game champion.

Cuddle up and hold on tight because for the adrenaline junkies, an airboat ride is the best way to get to know the winged, slimy, and four-footed locals. Outfitters like Dragon Lady and Swamp & River Tours can take you flying through the bayou on an exciting and informative backwater eco-tour. You’ll learn about the native wildlife while getting a lesson on the biodiversity and habitat of our area.

For the adventurous couples looking for that “as seen on TV” moment, Gator Country is part rescue facility, part animal adventure park full of entertainment and slapstick comedy. Home to over 450 reptiles, including two of the largest alligators in captivity, you can get hands-on with the babies and interact with a number of other animals from cuddly bunnies to scaly snakes. It makes for some memorable photos, to say the least.

Looking to stretch your legs? Explore the various hiking opportunities in the area. There's everything from leisurely nature walks to more intense endurance challenges.

For the couples who like to get active together, the Big Thicket is a great place to work up a sweat. Kayaks and canoes can be rented from Big Thicket Outfitters, who will provide everything you need to explore the bayou. There are several loops and paddling trails to follow, but if you’d prefer to stay dry, the hiking and biking trails are also popular excursions.

Get dressed up for a fanciful night at the Julie Rogers Theatre. The ultimate cultural excursion, a night of highbrow entertainment may be just what the doctor ordered if you crave a night out on the town.

A totally free outing, meander through the beautiful landscaping of the Beaumont Botanical Gardens and get out of the friend zone on a romantic stroll down the “Friendship Walk.” You can stop to feed the koi fish, admire the flora and fauna, and snap some cute couple shots amongst the flowerbeds. Shangri La Botanical Gardens is another gorgeous nature reprieve in nearby Orange.

Beaumont is a real melting pot, which means there’s no better place to tantalize your taste buds and embark on a culinary journey together. Try traditional sit-on-the-floor Thai at Chaba, or make it dinner and a show at Tokyo, which has sushi and cook at the table hibachi. If you’re adventurous eaters, try the unique fusion of Viet-cajun at Sweet Basil, which pairs pho and Southeast Asian flavors with local dishes like crawfish.

An elevated version of the stereotypical movie date, the Jefferson Theater is both a classy and cheap date night. With tickets just $5 every Friday, the opulent old theater has a rotating schedule of fan favorites and cult classics that spans every genre from drama to comedy. And yes, they sell alcohol in the theater.

Embrace your inner cowboy or cowgirl on a trail ride at Tyrrell Park Stables. Beaumont’s premier equestrian center, whether you’re a natural at riding or a newbie, the staff is there to help guide you and bond with your stallion the whole way.

Let your artistic sides shine at a BYO painting class. You can create masterpieces for each other or make some colorful memories painting with your partner. For something even more unique, they also pair couple’s classes with trivia or paint your pet night.

7 Oaks Event Garden is a truly unique concert experience that invites singers and songwriters to perform original pieces in a Texas listening room. With seating limited to 30-40, it feels like an intimate personal concert or jam session in a friend’s home. Tickets include complimentary drinks and catered food, which is a great deal for dinner and a show. 

Swing life away at the Little Woodrow’s patio, which has outdoor fire pits, lawn games, and a sportier vibe. For the best live music in town, Madison’s on Dowlen and the Logon Café regularly have performers playing late into the evening.

For the beer enthusiasts, our local microbreweries are a great place to find your new favorite pour.  Mosey on over to Struggle Street, which has creative, fruit-forward flights of flavors like Caramel Apple StruggleTart and Blueberry Muffin. Or check out the craft beer selection at Buckstin Brewery!

When in Texas, right? Practice your boot-scootin’ boogie at Pine Tree Lodge. Swing your partner round and round, and not to worry if you have two left feet, the line dances are fairly easy to pick up. If nothing else, it’s a good opportunity to laugh at each other.

If you’re looking for that stereotypical fine dining restaurant for a special occasion meal, Riverside Grille is a great date night option, which boasts unique dishes in an upscale atmosphere. Hearsay Gastro Lounge is another downtown favorite that is known for its craft cocktails and fresh flavors. 

Take a day trip up to Bolivar for some sun and surf. Go parasailing and take advantage of the area water sports, or simply relax with your toes in the sand.
