5 Kansas City Winter Dates

 Winter can feel like it’s longer than just a season, some love to watch snowflakes lazily drift down from the sky and land on the Kansas City landscape. Others, when they see snow they see hazardous roads and bitterly cold days. At some point, we all need a bit of a pick-me-up to help us finish winter strong. At Cable Dahmer of Kansas City, we thought of some easy winter date ideas around the Kansas City metro area that will help cure your winter blues!

Mavs Game

Kansas City is home to many professional sports teams. One of them is the Kansas City Mavericks, Kansas City’s local hockey team. The Mav’s games are played exclusively at Cable Dahmer Arena and are some of the best sporting experiences we have ever had. There is never a dull moment during a Mav’s game. From the fast-paced game and the typical (but entertaining) hockey fights that break out, to the excellent crowd participation and games, you will stay entertained the whole time! Going to a Mav’s game will be one of the best sporting experiences you’ve had in a while. Go Mavs!

Brunch at Union Station.

Union Station is host to a plethora of businesses that could keep you busy all day! A favorite at Union Station is Harvey’s. Enjoy a casual dining experience that is located right in the heart of Union Station, Grad Hall. The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and the perfect view of Union Station! Our breakfast suggestion is their iconic Thick Sliced French Toast, on Farm to Market challah. For lunch we suggest, Mr.B’s Fried Chicken, the perfectly fried chicken will melt in your mouth and leave you in food heaven. After your meal, enjoy your time exploring Union Station at one of their free or paid exhibits. Happy Exploring!

Axe Throwing

Looking for stress relief or something different to do for a date night? We have a suggestion for you, Axe Throwing! We love this unique activity at Blade and Timber, it’s a great way to destress after a long week or something out of the ordinary to try. There are two Blade and Timber locations in the Kansas City Metro area. One of the locations is in Leawood, Kansas. The other location is in the Power and Light District, in Kansas City, MO. We love that both of the locations have a variety of dining options nearby to help keep the date night! 

Chicken N Pickle

For this activity, we recommend bringing some friends along! Chicken N Pickle is a unique dining and entertainment experience. The entertainment complex started in North Kansas City and is now rapidly expanding in the Midwest. Enjoy the large indoor/outdoor entertainment complex that hosts eight pickleball courts (four inside and four outside), a variety of yard games, and a delicious restaurant where you can relax and enjoy the company of your friends. You can reserve a court to ensure that you will be able to play or go for the dining experience. Chicken N Pickle will easily become your new favorite go-to hangout spot with your friends!

Up-Down Kansas City Arcade Bar

 The Up-Down isn’t your regular bar. It’s packed with 50+ arcade games, pinball machines, four skeeball alleys, and much more! Up-Down is located right in the heart of the Kansas City Crossroads district, home to some of the best artists and makers in the city. The Up-Down is a laid back bar experience that will surely bring back nostalgic memories. They have all childhood arcade games and classics like Pac-Man and Super Mario Bros. This is a great place to go for a fairly inexpensive date night, girl’s night out, or a unique place to go with a group of friends!

 We hope you enjoy these Kansas City winter date night ideas! If you have any suggestions, let us know in the comments!
