Looking to romance your sweetie and try something new?
We've got an awesome date planned for you!
Want to treat yourself, or go out with friends?
Try one of these outings to have a great time with them!
Artsy Evening
Order a coffee and a canvas (or seasonal ceramic!) to paint at Coffee N' Crafts' Wall of Paint on historic Main Street.
Stop by Artzy Fartzy (just down the street) to create your own mini potted succulent at the "$10 buck succ" bar.
Skip down the street to grab a burger at historic Hamburger King (tip -- don't skip the pie!)
Foodie Fun
Shop for cool kitchen gadgets at Savvy Bites downtown or at Ross inside Shawnee Mall!
Enjoy a steak dinner for two (or try one of their famous vegan/vegetarian options like the Impossible Chopped) at Paul's Place Steakhouse! Reservations helpful, but not required.
Build your own dream cookie sandwich or designer ice cream flavor at Marble Slab/Great American Cookies, located at Bison Crossing on Kickapoo.
Adventurous Evening
Try to escape in less than an hour by solving puzzles and clues at House of Hints escape rooms, or test your aim at Lumberjack Johnson's Axe Throwing -- both in downtown Shawnee!
Find a secondhand treasure at one of Shawnee's excellent vintage and antique stores (T-Box Antiques, 25 Thrift, and Rogers Vintage are all excellent choices; bonus points if you find your treasure at a shop you've never been to)!
Try the sushi, udon, or any dish at Phoenix Asian Diner! If you're feeling really fancy, order a sake.
Historic Haunts
Visit Oklahoma's oldest art museum and the home of OK's only mummies, the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art!
Fill up at Oklahoma’s oldest BBQ restaurant continuously owned & operated by the same family, Van's Pig Stand! Visit the original location on Highland.
Take a scenic and historic walk in pre-statehood downtown Shawnee and see the iconic Santa Fe Depot and Beard Cabin.
Mall Madness
Have a delicious meal of Japanese fare at Sakura or cowboy ranch food at Santa Fe Steakhouse.
Race to earn the best prizes in At the Pier Arcade located in the Shawnee Mall.
Order a confection to share with rolled ice cream artistry at The Rolling Cow (they have boba tea too!)
💸Free Fun
Pack a picnic and enjoy it at the serene Japanese Peace Garden located alongside the Airport Trail; for best results, time it so you're finishing up with the sunset - it's a beautiful view!
Play a round of Disc Golf at one of Shawnee's three, free public courses; just BYO discs!
Find at least 15 of the 30+ Painted Horses in Shawnee! Download the list here.
Have a great date!
