Spring and romance seem to go hand in hand.
Couples are everywhere, enjoying the flowers, museums, or concerts together. It’s not hard to see why. The days are longer, the weather is warmer, and flowers bloom wherever you go.
Maybe you also want to plan a date for you and your partner, but aren’t sure where to start. You’ve come to the right place.
In this post, you’ll find eighteen fun spring date ideas to inspire you. Use the idea as is, or find a way to put your own spin on it to create the perfect outing for you and your significant other.
Indoor
Try a craft kit
Craft kits are an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon or evening if you like making things. Most of them come with all the supplies you’ll need and tutorials walking you through the process. It’s a fun bonding experience and a way to try something new.
Make a fancy dish
Is there an elaborate dish or dessert you’ve always wanted to make? Cook it together! Once it’s made, set up a candlelit dinner to enjoy your efforts.
Explore a bookstore
Find a local indie bookstore and spend an afternoon browsing the shelves. Get fun drinks, like coffee or boba, beforehand so you can sip them while you browse. Want an extra challenge? Try to pick out a book for each other.
Visit the botanical gardens
Botanical gardens let you view plants and flowers from around the world all in one spot. Pick up a brochure on the way in for extra facts you can take turns telling each other. You can also bring a camera or sketchbook to capture the plants.
Take a pottery class
Throwing pottery is a fun skill to try, especially with a good teacher. And at the end, you have a handmade item to take home. Pottery is also known to be a stress reliever, which we all need from time to time.
Go rollerskating
Rollerskating is a great activity for all ages. Find a nearby rink, rent skates, and rock out to the fun tunes they play. After you’re done skating, get pizza and soda to enjoy together.
Visit an escape room
Test your brainpower (and friendship) by trying your hand at an escape room. Pick one that matches your skill level and interests for a few hours of fun. Or, if you don’t like real escape rooms, try an online simulator instead.
Play a couple’s game
A two-person game can be a great way to get to know each other better or just have fun. Couple games like We’re Not Really Strangers help you deepen your relationship by asking increasingly personal questions. Or go with a classic board game like Scrabble or Monopoly for old-fashioned entertainment.
Host a dinner party
Invite over a few other couples for a fancy dinner party, complete with drinks, music, and your best plates. It’s a great way to see your friends and have a double or triple date at the same time.
Paint Easter eggs
Easter eggs aren’t only for kids. Hard-boil or blow out a few eggs, then paint decorations on them. See what kinds of fun or silly designs you can come up with. They make great handmade Easter decor to impress your friends.
Plan your next vacation
Do you have a big vacation you want to take later this year? A date night is the perfect time to start planning it. Get drinks and turn on music to set the mood. Then, sit down with your laptops and notebooks to start working out all the details.
Outdoor
Go on a picnic
This is a classic date idea for a reason. It’s simple, fun, and relaxing. Pack a nice lunch into a basket and head to a local park (or even your backyard) to have a picnic on the grass. Bonus points if you bring a fun activity, like painting or a card game.
Take a relaxing nature walk
Find an easy nearby trail and take a walk while enjoying the nature all around you. Point out what you see to each other and take pictures of your favorite sights.
Drive-in movies
Drive-in theaters are a retro date you’ll both enjoy. Many of them also play classic movies to match the old-fashioned vibe. Pack your snacks and cuddle up in the backseat while watching the film.
Pick strawberries
Nothing beats a fresh strawberry right off the bush. Take a morning and pick your own batch of fresh strawberries together. When you get home, you can eat the berries as is or make a delicious dessert with them.
Do a photoshoot
When was the last time you got pictures taken together? With everything in full bloom, now is a great time to get updated photos with a couple’s photographer. It’s also a great excuse to dress up!
Take a weekend trip
Do you and your partner need a little break? Book an Airbnb and take a weekend trip to a nearby town. Once you get there, you can lounge the time away together or get out and explore the area.
Paint outside
Plein air painting, or painting outside, can be a fun twist on a regular paint-and-sip night. Take your art supplies outside and paint each other, the scenery, or anything you’d like.
Watch the sunset
Watching the sun go down is a beautiful and relaxing experience. Leave the phones somewhere else and just be present in the moment as the sky changes colors. Afterward, consider getting ice cream or a treat for dessert.
Take a tour of your city
Taking a tour can be a great way to learn new facts about the place you live. It’s also a great option if one of you just moved to the area. Tour options include downtown, historic houses, or even wine.
As you can see from this small list, ideas for spring dates are endless. We hope they inspire you to create memories with your partner.
