Speed Dating in Lakeland
Lakeland is the center of Polk County, halfway between Tampa and Orlando on I-4, with a downtown wrapped around Lake Mirror and Munn Park, the Dixieland district along South Florida Avenue, and the swans on Lake Morton. Speed Date Tampa hosts speed dating here so singles in Polk County don't have to drive to Tampa or Orlando to meet someone.
Our Lakeland nights draw people from across the county — Winter Haven, Auburndale, Bartow, Mulberry and Lakeland Highlands — plus commuters who work along I-4. Every event is organized by age range, and the room is friendly and unhurried.
Where we host in Lakeland
Restaurant rooms and lounges in downtown Lakeland within a few blocks of Lake Mirror and Munn Park, with a reserved area for the event and a garage or lot within a block. We pick rooms with a volume that lets you hear the person across from you.

Arrive, check in with our host, grab a drink and take a seat. You'll have about ten five-minute dates with everyone in your age group and a break in the middle to mingle. Afterward you log in, choose who you'd like to see again, and we share contact details only when it's mutual. Same format as our events across Tampa Bay.
