2. Pick your own flowers from a local farm

Many farms have “choose your own” events in spring, usually with flowers and berries.

This can be a really fun spring date for you and your partner. Just be sure to inquire early in the season, as these events tend to be popular and flowers run out quickly.

Many of these farms also have markets where you can purchase fresh groceries and artisan items to take home.

3. Attend a fair

Spring is a season full of fairs. Check to see if there is one in your area.

At a fair, you’ll feel like a kid again, riding all the rides and maybe even winning a prize at a game.

Fairs are always filled with food trucks offering a wide range of items and live music.

If you have an amusement park in your area, this can also make for a fun date. The weather is more favorable for an amusement park in spring than in summer, where long queues can quickly become tiring under the hot summer sun beating down on you.

4. Go to the zoo

When was the last time you went to the zoo? It’s probably been a while.

The zoo is a great and unique get-together, perfect for spring.

Some zoos even offer adult events after hours, like beer and wine tastings.

As the popularity of pickleball continues to rise, why not get on board and learn to play?

6. Go camping (or glamping)

Spring is the ideal time for to set up a tent and spend a night under the stars.

If sleeping in a tent isn’t your thing, you can opt for glamping. Stay in a cabin, campervan or yurt where you may find a little more comfort.

Camping is a great way to truly appreciate the outdoors. Spend time exploring the campground, going fishing, taking a kayak or paddleboard ride, and of course, ending the night making s’mores by the fire.

7. Watch a movie at a drive-in theater or create your own

There are not a lot old school drive-ins more around, but if you’re lucky enough to have one near you and haven’t been before, they make a great date night.

Pack all your favorite snacks and bring plenty of blankets and pillows to make you comfy.

You can take any type of car to the drive-thru. If you have a small car, you can either sit inside the car on the seats like you would if you were driving, or you can bring chairs with you and set them up outside the car. You can also sit on a blanket on the floor, although this may not be the most comfortable option.

If you have a vehicle with a large trunk, you can park so that the rear of your car faces the screen. Next, open your trunk and comfortably arrange the blankets and pillows in the trunk of the car.

If you have a truck, this may be the best way to watch a drive-in movie. You can install an air mattress in the bed of the truck if you want additional comfort.

If you take a truck to the drive-in, be sure to bring a portable speaker with you that transmits the radio, otherwise you probably won’t be able to hear the sound very well.
