Date Night Rut. If you have children, perhaps you’ve been in one OR are in one!
After child number two, my husband and I realized we had been in “the rut” since our first was born. We have the same groundhog day discussion to determine where we will go. Ultimately we settle on the same ‘ol chain restaurant. Sometimes to not get home too early we would wander aimlessly around Wal-Mart in order to get home after the kids bedtime. Sad, but true.
Clearly, we needed a date night intervention.
Scene 75, like your favorite super-hero, swooped in and “saved the date!” I was asked to take a visit to this awesome Dayton venue to provide feedback about it being a Date Night option. I had never been and clearly with the rut we were in, we had nothing to lose. I did a little homework online and couldn’t believe what all they had to offer.
Just to name a few of those things… a 150-seat restaurant, two full service bars, a snack bar, indoor electric go-kart tracks, the largest ticket redemption and video arcade in Dayton, gaming theater, multi-level Laser Tag, inflatable arena, bumper cars, Black Light Mini-Golf, Mini-Bowling, 4D Theater, Lazer Frenzy maze, five private party rooms, three outdoor sand volleyball courts, two outdoor bocce courts, and an enormous outdoor patio. Seriously.
To share a little about our experience…We were greeted by friendly staff who showed us the ropes to a successful time. I am not lying when I say there is literally something for everyone there. Go-karts to arcade games, to a gaming room, you can find yourself entertained for hours. In fact, I remember looking down at my phone and could not believe that HOURS had passed by while we were there because it only felt like minutes.
You may be thinking to yourself…isn’t this more of a place for kids? Absolutely not! It was a great environment to connect with my husband again and to just have fun together. We had to work as a team as we tried to win prizes from the arcade games. We laughed together at my skills (or lack thereof) in mini bowling. We enjoyed a drink together at The Center Bar –where you can pick up a drink and then carry it around with you at the facility.
I firmly believe that date nights are very important to a healthy marriage. I encourage you to plan your next date night at Scene 75. Have a little fun with your spouse, prove you are the better driver at go-karts and then pick up some gifts for the kids at the prize counter from your arcade winnings. Win-Win for everyone, right?
I’m a fan. I’ve already convinced my son that we are having his birthday party there. Mommy’s like to have fun too!
Have you ever been there for Date Night? We’d love for you to share with other Dayton Moms your experience!
Scene 75 is located at 6196 Poe Avenue. I highly recommend you check out the attractions to plan for your fun filled night.
