Look, there’s nothing wrong with the tried-and-true formula of a sit-down meal at a casual restaurant followed by a movie. But the same formula gets played out over and over again. So, why not mix things up and add a little excitement, which of course, Knight’s Action Park excels at. Even after the water stops flowing at Splash Kingdom, our Action Park provides plenty of fun ways to hang loose and light that spark.
First, We Feast
That said, don’t go hungry for date night — fill up at the many incredible restaurants around Springfield. From Veterans Parkway to Downtown to North Dirksen, discover a variety of menus full of delicious, unique flavors. Snack on spicy street tacos across from the Old State Capitol or dig into a piping-hot horseshoe on the West Side. Find whatever flavor you’re craving before enjoying an action-packed evening.
Now for Some Fun
Are you and your special someone up for a little friendly and flirty competition? Grab some clubs and head for the mini-golf courses at Knights Action Park — find out who wears the Green Jacket in your relationship as you both go for the hole-in-one. Not interested in perfecting your short game? Head over to the driving range and channel your inner Happy Gilmore as you tee off to see who can hit the farthest shot! Take that same competitive spirit to the go-kart track — strap in and put the pedal to the metal as you race for the checkered flag. Afterward, snuggle close together for a romantic ride on the Ferris wheel and enjoy the view looking south.
On with the Show
If catching a movie is still one of your favorite couples' activities, cap off your perfect evening at Route 66 Drive-in and relive those classic date night moments! Located next door to Knight’s Action Park, this outdoor cinema features the latest Hollywood blockbusters on twin screens, plus a full concession stand of traditional fare like popcorn and candy, plus pizza, chicken, and all-beef hot dogs. Grab a snack and cozy up together for a retro moviegoing experience!
