Some other great date night ideas for the hubs and I:

Sundance Square - Ft. Worth, TX
Do some gambling - Oklahoma
Just be sure to always check for special pricing, whether it's during the week or certain hours of the day - as well as coupons! Most of the events listed above are a minimal cost compared to some of the other *more expensive* venues in our area.
Also, check out your city or town's Parks & Rec board to see what events are going on locally and most of the time, are free! This is in no means comprehensive, so please feel free to leave comments with any additional suggestions on some of your fave spots!
