It’s Date Night: The 10 Best Date Night Ideas In Plantation, Florida



As I have mentioned before, quality time is such an important aspect of maintaining a healthy, intimate connection in your relationship. Creating a strong connection that is built around fun, happiness, and intimacy can additionally improve your desire and ability to communicate more effectively and resolve conflict with one another.


What better way to build quality and intimate time with your partner than prioritizing date nights on a regular basis? You and your partner also deserve the chance to disconnect from the stressors of everyday life and create some time to have great new experiences together.


I am writing today to help you to find some of the best date spots in Plantation, Florida for a fun, romantic, and tasty night out. I hope you and your honey are hungry, because this list is definitely packed with food!

J Alexander’s Restaurant - This is one of my favorite restaurants in Plantation. The dim lights, upscale menu, and romantic ambiance provides a perfect setting for you and your date to have an amazing time with tasty drinks and food to bring you closer together.


Plantation Parks - Plantation is one of my favorite places to be outside, it's packed with greenery and trees and perfect for walks and outdoor sports. We have beautiful parks to spend your days with your loved one. The Central Park Multi-Purpose Center has soccer fields, tennis courts, trails, and more to get your fresh air and fitness fix together. It also has the Plantation Aquatic Complex for swimming! You can also check out the Plantation Heritage Park event schedules to get food truck goodies and spend the day outside together.

Kaluz Plantation - Kaluz is a popular waterfront spot in east Fort Lauderdale that expanded to a shiny and new location right in the heart of Plantation on the corner of University and Broward Blvd. Kaluz gives you the opportunity to put on your Sunday best and dress up for a finer dining experience if you and your partner are feeling a little fancy.


Sawgrass Mills Mall - Not technically located in Plantation, but just on the border in Sunrise, FL. Shop til you drop is an understatement here. This mall is SO big that I've lived here 8 years and I still don't know if I have made it all the way through. Any and every shopping need you and your date may want is sure to be here, they have high end shopping and discount outlets to fit anyone's wants and needs. Maybe even treat each other to a little gift? Take a break during your shopping day and stop to eat at any of the MANY restaurants on site and get back to shopping!


The Movies - Dinner and a movie, a classic date night. Plantation has a movie theater located right in the heart of the city, Regal Broward Movie Theaters. It is attached to Broward Mall and The Whole Enchilada Fresh Mexican Grill & Bar, which just so happens to have awesome food and live music. Located just a minute outside of Plantation, Davie Florida has another theater, Paragon Ridge Movie Theaters offers a more luxurious movie experience with reclining chairs and tasty custom pizzas to enjoy during your movie. Enjoy the big screen!


I hope you enjoy your time together! Happy dating!
