Spring is upon us! The weather’s getting warmer. The flowers are blooming. Love is in the air. Well, love can be in the air, especially now that we actually want to be out and about with our boo or meeting a potential boo! This is where some fun spring date night ideas will come in handy.
Don’t get me wrong – there are plenty of romantic dates you can do in the winter. But let’s be real – it’s cold. It’s so much comfier just staying home snuggled on the couch under a warm blanket.
But now that the spring is here and the weather is getting warmer and the sun is out for longer, it’s good incentive to get out and about. Whether you are single and ready to mingle or you’re in a relationship and want to keep the spark alive, there are so many great spring date night ideas for you to enjoy together.
10 Date Night Ideas For Springtime
If you can’t think of any, don’t worry, that’s what we’re here for. Here are ten fun spring date night ideas that’ll be sure to impress them – whether they’re already yours or not!
1. Plan A Picnic In The Park
If you’re looking for a low-cost but super sweet and romantic date idea, this is the one for you. How cute is a park picnic! You can make your favorite foods or keep it simple by just packing some charcuterie and wine (or sparkling water).
So, grab that picnic blanket and head to your local park. The hours will just fly by as you two sit outside enjoying the fresh air, some yummy food, and each other’s company.
2. Mini-Golf – Spring Date Night Edition
No, mini golf isn’t just for kids – it’s actually a ton of fun for adults. It’s so easy to get competitive without really needing to break a sweat. Plus, it’ll probably bring you both back to your childhoods too, and what’s better than getting to release your inner child?
Fortunately, this is something fun and easy to do because it’s low stress and tends to be budget friendly, too. Also, many locations have super fun and scenic landscapes that can help set the mood or give you a good convo starter.
3. Go To A Botanical Garden
If there’s a botanical garden near you, now’s a great time to go! This is especially true because spring is all about plants blooming and what better place to see them at? You and your date can stroll around some beautiful looking and beautiful smelling gardens together on this refreshing spring date night idea.
If that’s not romantic, I don’t know what is. It’s also the perfect backdrop to take some couples pictures as well, if it’s time for you to hard launch that relationship (wink wink!).
4. Go To A Baseball Game
Whether or not you’re a baseball fan, going to the games can be so fun! There’s good food, good beer or other drinks, and excitement all around you. If you know what team they’re a fan of, try and score tickets to see that team – your date will definitely be ecstatic to see them and spend time with you!
5. Visit A Brewery
Breweries have surged in popularity over the last decade or so and for good reason. There’s so much to try there from seasonal brews to craft beers! Because summer is the most popular time for these you can make a great spring date night out of a brewery visit.
Some breweries even offer guided tours and fun tastings that you can take advantage of, too. Breweries are typically relaxed and casual environments, meaning it’s a good idea if you want a low pressure date where you can actually chat with the person you’re with.
6. Visit A Winery
If beer isn’t your scene and you’d much prefer enjoying a bottle of wine with your boo (or boo to be!) head out to a winery or vineyard instead! Just like breweries, many offer guided tours and fun tastings for you to enjoy.
You can sit outside, in the vineyard, among the grape leaves, sip on your wine and enjoy a slow-paced time with your date. It’s a great way to just be in the moment, together.
7. Find A Local Fair Or Festival For Your Spring Date Night
When the spring rolls around so do the local fairs and festivals. See what’s happening in your local area and make it a date night! Just think how romantic that ferris wheel ride can be together. Plus, many fairs don’t just have rides – they have artisanal crafts, street performers, music and food vendors, too.
8. Go Camping – Or On A Hike
If you’re both outdoorsy and love being out in nature, why not go camping?! The weather’s warmer where you won’t freeze sleeping outside but it’s not super hot yet where you’d be wishing you were back in the air conditioning.
If sleeping in a tent outdoors isn’t your thing, you can look into glamping options. Or, you can forget the camping and just ask your date if they want to go on a hike together. You’ll be getting your steps in, getting a beautiful view, and having a memorable date.
We also wouldn’t recommend the camping option for a first date – unless you really know the person and know it’s something they’d be cool with. Let’s remember to be safe while we’re having a good time!
9. Get Tickets To An Outdoor Concert
Concerts are so much fun, and for some reason, outdoor concerts can be even more fun. Spring’s the time of year that outdoor concerts come back thanks to the change in weather and make a great date night. See who’s performing near you and if it’s someone you know your boo likes, see if you can score tickets.
Just keep in mind this date night idea isn’t the best if you want to have conversations with them. But you can always tack on dinner and drinks before (or after!) the show for that.
10. Watch The Sunset
Sunsets – and sunrises – are always romantic. There’s just something about their beauty. You can simply just sit outside with your boo or rather bring some blankets to the beach and watch it from there. Watching the sunset can cost you literally nothing and be one of the best date nights you can have.
If you want to take things to the next level, pack some food, snacks, wine, sparkling water, whatever with you to make it even more special. Getting to experience golden hour happen is probably the most perfect spring date idea.
