Need the Perfect Date Idea? MKY’s Got It Covered

Planning the perfect date in a small town can be hard, but we’ve got you covered with four fun date itineraries to complement your personalities and combat those pre-date jitters!


For the Kids At Heart

Unleash your inner teenager with a bright, nostalgic game of bowling at Corvette Lanes, and be sure to pick up a delicious signature cocktail (or soda). Next, head right across Murray State’s campus to Tap 216 and split a classic savory appetizer, like their creamy Buffalo chicken dip, while battling it out at Tap Trivia night! Play with your partner as a team, or encourage some light-hearted competition by playing as individuals. 


For the Creatives

Check out one of Murray Art Guild's guided classes and unleash that inner artistry. Plus, you'll leave this date night with a hand-made souvenir! Be sure to stop in to Willow Bistro just off Murray State's campus to fuel up for your artistic endeavors. Featuring fresh cultural cuisine, Willow Bistro is the perfect date spot to match your artful minds! 


For Ultimate Sports Fans

You and your partner are competitive and passionate, basketball games are the perfect place for you two to let your competitive side out. Grab tickets to the Murray State Men’s and Women’s Basketball double header on Sunday, February 15, and cheer on the Racers against Belmont and UIC! Stop by The Keg before or after the games and enjoy fresh, savory seafood or barbecue over witty banter and plenty of inside jokes. 


For the Outdoor Explorers

You and your partner are free-spirited and adventurous! Get together and experience the beauty of the Land between the Lakes from the comfort (and warmth) of your vehicle at the Elk and Bison Prairie. Then, head back into the city to explore Murray’s Historic Downtown, and colorful murals. Don’t forget to grab some ice cream from Dairy Queen (open March-October) or Coldstone Creamery and find a picturesque location to enjoy your frozen treat.
