From one Bluejay to another

What is the best date night Omaha has to offer?

Dear Bluejay,

Great question!

Picking a date night spot can be unnecessarily stressful sometimes!

Asking for help is the first step to creating a special night with your special someone.

One of the best things about spring in Omaha is that the weather finally lets us spend some time outdoors, making it a great opportunity for casual and low-cost date ideas near Creighton.

Something like walking to Turner Park with iced coffees can be the perfect way to unwind after class while getting some fresh air.

If you’re both feeling a little bit more adventurous, rent scooters and take a ride through Field Club Trail or explore nearby neighborhoods like Gifford Park!

Riding scooters together is fun, a little silly and the perfect way to cover more ground while soaking up the spring weather.

If you’re lucky, you might catch a sunset over the skyline, adding a little movie-magic moment to the end of the night.

At night, Midtown’s outdoor seating and string lights give the whole area a cozy, romantic feelβ€”especially when it’s just warm enough for short sleeves but still cool enough to bring a light jacket.

If you or your person are fans of classic romance (or just love a good period drama), consider the 2025 theatrical re-release of β€œPride and Prejudice” coming out April 18.

It’s the perfect excuse to dress up a little, grab your favorite snacks and soak in the iconic story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy on the big screen.

This version is great for a date and book lovers!

It is shown on the big screen and has behind-the-scenes content that’s only available during this limited runβ€”so it’s a unique experience even if you’ve seen the film before.

What makes this spring date night so great is how easy it is to personalizeβ€”whether you’re more into food, activity or just being outside.

It’s budget-friendly, close to Creighton and full of opportunities to relax, laugh and connect with your person.

Whatever you decide, I am sure it will be absolutely amazing!

Good luck!
