With the Chiefs’ exciting Super Bowl win this past weekend, the next couple of weeks are likely booked and busy for many Kansas Citians—especially with Valentine’s Day on the horizon. Even if you’ve pushed your February 14th arrangements on the back burner, there are still plenty of opportunities to plan the perfect date night throughout the City of Fountains—which is what Inspired Homes is here to help you with. Our team knows this incredible city through and through, so read below to find a few of the many quick and easy Valentine’s Day endeavors that are sure to impress. 

Enjoy the outdoors

Despite the colder temperatures and brisk weather that February typically brings to the Kansas City area, it looks like there are plenty of upcoming days that call for sunshine and some warmth—which gives you the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with your loved one outdoors. From the lawn at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art to Loose Park and the Country Club Plaza to all of the gorgeous outdoor recreational areas near our communities—Kansas City offers hundreds of beautiful spots to go for a romantic walk before or after dinner. Better yet, grab a picnic blanket, something to drink, a charcuterie board, a dessert and your favorite books with your date and head to your favorite outdoor destination in the city—perfect for the ultimate belated Valentine’s Day celebration this weekend! 

Indulge in the local restaurant scene

Although it can be difficult to land dinner reservations this week, Kansas City is known for its bustling restaurant scene—meaning there are so many different options for couples wanting an unforgettable meal this Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re celebrating on February 14th or waiting until the weekend, you’ll want to make time to take advantage of the incredible, diverse cuisine KC offers up—even if that means taking it to-go and enjoying it in the comfort of your Inspired home. J. Alexander's, Cooper's Hawk, The Melting Pot, Tasso’s, Jack Stack, Chaz, Louie’s Wine Dive, Bamboo Penny’s, Trezo Mare and Café Provence are just a glimpse at all of the iconic food spots KC has to offer around our communities—and if reservations aren’t available on the evening of Valentine’s Day, enjoy a romantic lunch or recreate the restaurant experience at home. 

Try something new

From rock climbing and indoor skydiving to escape rooms and cooking classes—Kansas City is home to dozens of date destinations that are perfect for both longtime couples and people just getting to know each other. Try your hand at cooking a meal or pastry together at The Culinary Center of Kansas City, which offers an array of different classes each week to fit all levels of aspiring cooks—or get active at any of the ROKC locations throughout the city, where you can reach new heights in your relationship (literally) by climbing up the multi-level rock walls. Or, for those who want to venture forth in solving a mystery together, hit up Breakout KC and retrieve evidence in a horror-themed, civil war-inspired or sports-influenced room—and for an adventurous, memorable date, book a flight at iFly, where you can get the true skydiving experience without having to board a plane.
