Looking for something special to do for Valentine's Day in Oklahoma City? Here are 5 date ideas which, when mixed and matched, actually give you far more options than five. Give your sweetheart something unique for the holiday.
1. Romantic Dinner and a Movie

Take that special someone out for a nice dinner at one of the top romantic restaurants in OKC, any other top OKC restaurant or one of your own choosing. Dine in style and have some great food to begin your Valentine's date.
After the meal, go catch a movie at one of the top OKC movie theaters. Or, perhaps try something a bit different with your movie-watching such as a trip to the Noble Theatre at the OKC Museum of Art to catch an independent, foreign or classic film.
2. Dinner and a Show

If going to a movie just seems a bit too usual for a special Valentine's Day date, maybe you should take the evening entertainment up a notch. After having that nice romantic dinner, try one of the live performance options that may be running at the time.
You can check out the OKC February Event Calendar for information on theatre, music, ballet and more.
3. Get More Active for Valentine's Day

You can't usually go wrong with a movie or a show for a Valentine's date, but sometimes you might want to get more personally involved, especially on a holiday. If so, try cooking rather than going out. Check out these holiday recipe ideas or these candy recipes right here on About.
After your meal, consider one of the many places in Oklahoma City that get you involved in your entertainment, places of culture or education like the Museum of Art, Science Museum Oklahoma, the OKC Zoo or the History Center.
4. A Valentine Picnic

A great spot for a picnic is Lake Hefner, though it's certainly not the only option around the metro. At Hefner, there are plenty of tables and open spaces to fly a kite or simply relax as you watch the sailboats. Mid-February won't be the same sight as the Summer sailboat races, but it will be an enjoyable experience nonetheless.
Grab a couple of glasses, a bottle of wine and consider these options:
- Traditional Picnic Recipes
- Italian Picnic Recipes
- Chinese Picnic Recipes
- French Picnic Recipes
- Picnic Desserts
5. Relax and Be Pampered

Maybe you and your date would rather take it easy. Maybe you'd like to be pampered and just enjoy the relaxation together.
One thing people often rave about are spas. Take a Valentine's Day trip to a spa and enjoy a massage. Many metro area spas offer couples specials, but they often fill up quickly.
Then continue the theme of getting away while never leaving the city with an Oklahoma City hotel for Valentine's Day. You and your sweetheart can have a night away, relax and order room service.
