Do What You Love With Your Love

If your partner loves museums, you can choose from the classical, like the Dallas Museum of Art, or the unique, like the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame. If your partner loves the great outdoors, pick one of the 43 parks around the area to enjoy hiking, biking, picnicking, and swimming.
If you’re looking for a romantic surprise, book a tour on a gondola. These private cruises go on a tour of Lake Carolyn and the Mandalay Canals. These cruises even come with a bottle of sparkling cider and gourmet chocolates.
Plan a Romantic Dinner for Two
Texas is famous for its barbecue, so you’ll find plenty of restaurants around the city that cater to it. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t find just about any food you’re in the mood to try. Whether you want Mexican, Thai, Italian, Japanese, or even seafood, you can find savory meals in every price range. When dinner is over, head out to one of the local wine bars. You can try something new and order by the glass. If you both find something you love, you can order a whole bottle to enjoy.
Enjoy a Night on the Town

Just because the sun sets doesn’t mean it’s time to go to bed. At night, Irving is still awake and ready to have a good time. Take a stroll to the Mustangs of Las Colinas. This bronze sculpture depicts wild mustangs running through water. Fountains under the hooves give the impression of water splashing. In the moonlight, these horses look like they could come to life at any second.
Continue your walk to the Mandalay Canal Walk, where you can hold hands and stroll along the cobblestone streets lined with restaurants and shops. As the gondoliers paddle by, their lovely singing adds another romantic touch to the air.
The next time you’re planning a getaway with your loved one, keep this guide in mind so you have lasting memories of your romantic stay in Irving.
