Why You’ll Love these Fall Date Ideas

• Some will have you indulging in the flavors of fall that we all love so much.
• Others will have you feeling like a kid again.
• Many give you time to connect through good conversation or snuggling up.
• You’ll embrace your favorite time of year alongside your favorite person.

1. Head to the Pumpkin Patch

You’re never too old to enjoy the pumpkin patch, so grab your love and head out to the farm. Pick some pumpkins to make a festive treat or carve a Jack-o-Lantern together on Halloween.

Also, while you’re on this special fall date, make sure to get lost in a corn maze with your person. Hold hands and steal a smooch when no one’s around!

Many farms have stores with fall décor or fresh produce to take home too, so don’t miss out on a little shopping hand in hand.

Finally, don’t forget that pumpkin patches have tasty treats. Share some farm fresh corn on the cob, cider donuts, or pumpkin fudge while you’re there.

2. Go to a Coffee Shop

Head out to your local coffee shop for a warm beverage and good conversation with your honey this fall. Opt for locations with fireplaces, comfy seating, and windows to view the falling leaves. Warm up with a pumpkin spice latte or hot cider and share a festive seasonal pastry or two like pumpkin muffins or apple croissants.

3. Watch a Fall Movie

Head to the theater for a newly released spooky movie this Halloween season or cozy up on your comfy couch and see if the Great Pumpkin finally joins Linus in the pumpkin patch this year in It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Hallmark’s October Kiss is a fun and lighthearted flick if you’re looking for a romantic comedy. If fall gets you two excited about American football, check out Rudy.

4. Go Out for a Seasonal Meal

Check with restaurants in your area for limited time special menu offerings this fall. Think pumpkin pancakes or waffles for weekend brunch, or butternut squash ravioli for a delightful dinner treat. Watch for fun seasonal beverages too! You don’t want to miss out on the cinnamon apple martini or pumpkin cider!

5. Attend a Theme Park

Theme parks often get into the fall spirit offering seasonal rides and attractions. Some have parades for their guests to enjoy and many are decorated with festive lights, jack-o-lanterns, ghosts and more. You’re also likely to find appetizing autumnal treats, and just like the pumpkin patch, a theme park is fun for all ages as there’s something for everyone.

6. Go Apple Picking

Head to the orchard for some good old-fashioned apple picking with your person. Check out what type of apples your local orchard offers and fill a bucket to take home. Bake up a scrumptious autumn dessert to share when you get back to your humble abode.

7. Head to a Haunted House

If you love Halloween and the thrill of a spooky adventure, grab your other half and head to a haunted house. Hold onto your person as you dodge ghosts and goblins in hopes of making it out alive!  

8. Leaf Peeping

Fall colors dazzle the eyes in many areas this time of year and what’s more romantic than slowing down and enjoying nature’s splendor with the one you love? Here’s a few fun and fantastic ways to view leaves:

Go for a Drive

Jump in the car, turn on some relaxing music and go for a drive to view the leaves. This is a great option for a rainy or relaxing day. Don’t forget the festive snacks!

Go for a Hike

Grab your hiking shoes and head to the mountains for a hike through the beautiful trees. It’s a great way to get a little exercise with your better half. Also, color-changing trees and scenic overlooks make for breathtaking backdrops, so snuggle up for some pictures while creating new memories.

Go for a Walk

Perhaps all you need to do to view the leaves is walk out your front door for a nice stroll. So, grab your honey by the hand and head outside to the crisp fall air and leaves crunching under your feet. While you’re at it, hunt for leaves to bring home for your fall décor. There are so many ways to use them. Click here for a fun way to decorate with fall leaves.

Go for a Train Ride

Another fun adventure amongst these fun fall date ideas is to take a scenic train ride to view the colorful leaves. Some trains offer hot beverages, wine, snacks, or full meals. Also, look for trains with upgraded comfortable and spacious seating or better views like dome cars with large windows.

9. Watch Fall TV Programs

Grab some kettle corn or that seasonal pumpkin ale you’ve been dying to try. Get the fireplace going, snuggle up with your better half, and watch some Halloween or Thanksgiving episodes of your favorite shows. Think Friends, Big Bang Theory, or The Office for a few good laughs.

Also, if you and your person enjoy cooking, creativity, or simply eating delicious desserts, watch a seasonal special like Halloween Baking Wars or Halloween Baking Championship. Look for Thanksgiving episode of baking shows like Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Table, or Ree Drummond’s Pioneer Woman. Maybe you two will find inspiration for your Thanksgiving feast this year.

10. Enjoy Halloween Decorations

Is your area extra festive this time of year? Go for a walk, drive, or bike ride to look at Halloween decorations in your neighborhood or nearby to get into the spirit of the season. Who knows, you may find ideas to make your own place extra spooky this year for trick-or-treaters.

11. Cook or Bake Together

Gather the pumpkins or apples you brought home from the farm and spend some time in the kitchen together. Light some candles, turn the lights down low and share your culinary creations.
