Romantic Things to do in Joplin

Joplin, Missouri isn't known for its romantic holiday spots, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. Joplin, like many other cities, has a few great spots rarely traveled by those not-in-the-know.

So for you, yes, only you, I found some of the best romantic spots in Joplin. So, try them out! What are you waiting for, Valentine's Day? Your anniversary? Don't! Do it now. Yes, now. Your loved one will appreciate it all the more.

1. Richardson's Candy House
   The candy house has often times been seen as one of the best place to buy candies and chocolates in Missouri. If you want something even more romantic, they'll even make custom chocolates just for you.
2. Joplin Little Theatre
   Even though this is a community theatre, it is still one of the best of its kind. They put on fantastic shows time and time again. If you are really daring, try auditioning with your loved one. It is a great way to spend time together and maybe find something you both enjoy.
3. Check out the great restaurants Joplin has to offer
   Ichiban, Del Rio Bordertown, Cheddars, Red Onion, Mythos Euro Greek Kuzina are all fantastic places to eat. My personal favorite is Ichiban followed by Cheddars.
4. A trip to Grand Falls
   This is Missouri's largest continually flowing natural waterfall. What else is there better to do?
5. Route 66 Drive-in Theatre
   This is one of the last Route 66 Drive-ins still open today. So why not take a trip down memory lane and spend the night at the movies under the stars? If nothing else, it's cheaper than the cinema.

If these don't float your boat, take a walk along the trails or spend the night in with a home-cooked meal (that you prepare together) and a movie. The most important thing is spending time together, and whether that is at home or somewhere else, it's all that matters.
