Your Next Day Date Belongs in Frisco

Planning a day date should feel fun, not overwhelming. Whether you’re newly dating, celebrating a milestone or simply carving out time with your partner, Frisco is packed with ways to keep things relaxed, fresh and memorable. The best part? These ideas work year-round, no matter the weather or season. Just grab your person and get ready to enjoy the city we call home.

Below are six go-to ideas to help inspire your next Frisco day date.

Brunch at The Star + Stroll Through Kaleidoscope Park

If you’re looking for an easygoing, outdoorsy day date, start with brunch at The Star. You can't go wrong with Ascension’s coffee and breakfast plates or the weekend hip-hop brunch at The Common Table. Order a to-go latte and take the quick stroll across the street to Kaleidoscope Park, a free community space that’s only a year old, yet has quickly become a favorite among locals.

On weekends, the park is often buzzing with farmers’ markets, fitness classes, art activities, live music and more. Their year-round calendar is full, so check what’s happening before you go. And dog parents, rejoice: Kaleidoscope also has its own beautiful, hilly, turfed dog park, making it a perfect date idea if you're bringing your furry sidekick along (something my husband and I love doing with our goldendoodle, Mookie). 

If you want to linger a bit longer, grab lunch at Palato Kitchen Italian restaurant, which is right next to the park. And, on Friday through Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., the Palato food truck sets up inside the park so you can enjoy fresh Italian favorites al fresco.

Take a Guided Tour at The Star

Whether you're a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan or just enjoy learning something new together, the guided tours at The Star make for a surprisingly fun daytime activity. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at places like Ford Center, the War Room, the training facilities, and other iconic spaces where big football decisions (and big football moments) happen.

It’s a light, active date that mixes history, sports, architecture and hands-on experiences, all without needing to block off your whole day. For tour options and tickets, go here.

Grab a Beer and Catch Live Events at Rollertown Beerworks

One of Frisco’s newest hotspots, Rollertown Beerworks, is already making waves thanks to its craft brews, fun taproom atmosphere and steady lineup of unique events. Think trivia nights, live music, food trucks, comedy shows, themed parties—you name it.

It’s a casual, no-pressure date idea where you can settle in, try a flight or a pint and enjoy whatever’s happening that day. They keep their events calendar packed, so check what's coming up periodically.

Whether you're into lagers, IPAs or just supporting local Texas breweries, Rollertown is a great spot to kick back together.

Play, Putt & Dine at PGA Frisco

If you want a date that feels active, unique, and very Frisco, head to PGA Frisco! Start by warming up on the free putting course, The Dance Floor, a low-pressure way to practice your short game or just have fun seeing who can sink the trickiest shots. (Heads up: it’s hilly, bringing its own set of challenges.) From there, head over to the Par 3 course, The Swing. With 10 beautifully designed holes, it’s perfect for golfers of all skill levels, walkers and anyone who wants a scenic way to spend the afternoon.

Once you’ve played your way through, reward yourselves at Ice House, the open-air restaurant overlooking the course. Their brisket nachos are a must-try, and the rest of the menu has plenty of bites and sips ideal for post-round relaxation. It’s one of those spots where you settle in and think, “Yep… this is a pretty perfect day.”

Make a little time to browse the shops at PGA, too! You’ll find apparel, gifts and gear worth poking around in before you wrap up.

PGA pro tip: Hang around until golden hour. The sunsets out here stretch across wide-open skies in a way only Frisco can pull off. It’s a stunning, romantic moment to cap off your date.

Shop Local Along the Rail District

Sometimes the best dates are the simplest ones: walking, talking and discovering something new side by side. The Frisco Rail District off Main Street is perfect for a wandering-style day date, where you can pop in and out of local boutiques and support small businesses.

Browse vintage and pre-loved finds at The Refind Closet and Restyle, check out fitness gear at Soccer City Frisco or refresh your wardrobe at OliveUs Boutique, Apple Blvd Boutique or The Style House. Each shop has its own personality, and you never know what you’ll find, making it a charming, relaxed way to spend the day.

P.S. The Frisco Fresh Market (a farmers’ market) is right down the street, too! Hit it up on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

Become Contestants for a Day at The Game Show Experience

If you’re in the mood to shake things up—or you and your partners friends have a competitive streak—head to The Game Show Experience in the Frisco Rail District. This immersive studio lets you step right into a game show set, complete with buzzers, lights and hilarious challenges. Each guest even gets to pick their own team and individual names. No acting skills required… just gather a few friends and be ready to laugh a lot.

The Game Show Experience is a great way to break out of your usual routine and try something unexpected. Afterward, take a stroll along Main Street and pop into a coffee shop like Summer Moon or grab dessert to keep the fun going.

Make Your Day Date Yours

No matter what you choose—exploring a park, sharing a craft beer, stepping into a game show or supporting local shops—a great day date is really just about carving out time for each other. Frisco makes that easy with experiences you can enjoy all year long.

So pick an idea, plan your route and get out there. Your next favorite memory together might just happen right here in Frisco.
