Fall has arrived! Wahoo! That means enjoying every last bit of the sunshine before it’s too cold to leave the house. If you’re stuck on what to do here are a couple ideas. Grab your guy/gal and have yourselves a day!

 

Apple/Pumpkin Picking: Going to an orchard is always a sweet way to spend the day with your significant other. Very insta worthy and you get to sample the autumn favorites while you walk around.

 

Hike through the woods: Fall is the perfect time to go for a hike. The crisp temperature means that you won’t be sweating all day, because who wants to sweat on a date? Explore what the forest has to offer while the leaves are changing colors.

 

Corn Maze: Now this one could be an all-dayer if you’re at a big enough farm. Get lost walking through a corn maze.

 

Haunted House: If you’re feeling spooky, check out a local haunted house. Just make sure both of you aren’t scared or else there’s no one to hold on to.

 

Oktoberfest events: Oktoberfests are the best part of October! Check out the fun and fill up your pint while enjoying a pretzel the size of your head. Check out how the Germans do it, and you’ll for sure be making it an annual event.

 

Movies: Too cold out there for ya? Head on over to the movie theater. You don’t have to worry about awkward conversations when you’re both focused on the screen. Just cozy up next to each other with a bowl of popcorn and call it a night.

 

Bonfire: Grab all of your friends and have a group date around a bonfire. Get the smores cooking and you’ll be sure to draw a crowd. This is a good one for those of you that don’t want that one on one date yet. More people means less intimidating.

 

Football game: College football, high school football, any football. Go back to your high school and watch a game with old friends and new ones. You’ll most likely run into a few familiar faces. Hey maybe after that, you’ll be going on a date with one of them.

 

Visit a brewery: Tour the closest brewery in your area or even take a day trip to another town to visit theirs. Learn how their beer is made and sample a few out too!

Bike ride: Hop on your bikes and take a ride through your local park. Don’t have a big park to ride through? Just drive through the neighborhood to see the Halloween decorations and changing leaves. Have a relaxing day cruising.
