- Patio Dolcetto

There’s a reason why romance tends to involve spirits and scrumptious food. You can get that at Patio Dolcetto as they serve wine, cocktails, beer, and tapas. You are also surrounded by art and can enjoy your meal on the patio. We all know how the Texas weather is unpredictable. But if it’s a little chilly out there, the patio has heaters to keep you warm.
The artisan gallery is filled with every kind of art by local artists. You’ll find everything from acrylics and glass to ceramic and digital. The website has photos of some of the art and a list of the artists to give you a taste of what’s to come when you visit the patio.
- Stars and Stripes Drive-in Theater
1178 Kroesche Ln.
New Braunfels, Texas 78130

Travel back to the 1950s at Stars and Stripes Drive-in Theater in New Braunfels. As you would expect, the menu and its fonts are representative of a 50s diner. Rain or shine, the drive-in is open every night at 6 p.m., year-round. You get a choice of three screens, so one is bound to play a movie you’d like to see on date night. Just be sure to come at least one hour before the show for the full experience.
- Wonder World Park
1000 Prospect St
San Marcos, Texas 78666

This theme park says it’s the first “show cave” in Texas. Here, visitors can tour the Balcones Fault Line Cave, an earthquake-formed cave. They also have an observation tower and an anti-gravity house, where everything is backwards including water that flows up!
You can hop on the train at Mystery Mountain and head to a waterfall and finish the adventure at a petting zoo. Adventurous couples and families will love this San Marcos Valentine’s Day date idea!
- Unicycle Football
San Marcos Activity Center
501 E. Hopkins St.
San Marcos, Texas 78666

And now for something completely different. Yes, unicycle football is pretty much what you’d assume it to be from its name! It’s American football played on unicycles with five players on each team.
Watching the game will be an unforgettable experience as you’ll see players jumping up on their unicycles and falling. The “Stuporbowl” is in April! The website has more information and the schedule.
- Natural Bridge Caverns
26495 Natural Bridge Caverns Rd.
San Antonio, TX 78266

Here’s another place for an adventurous Valentine’s Day date. This one will require a little trek, but it’s so worth it. Natural Bridge Caverns is about 40 minutes from San Marcos. They offer a variety of tours such as the 75-minute tour that occurs 180-feet below the ground where you can see stalagmites, stalactites, and flowstones. There’s the lantern tour where the only light you have comes from your cave lantern. You’ll feel like the explorers from the early days.
The Canopy adventure includes a four-story obstacle course and zip lines. Perhaps, the AMAZEn’ Ranch Roundup is your cup of tea in which you find your way through a maze that contains three towers and a bridge.
