1. Go apple picking
Apple picking is one of the most classic fall date ideas that I'll never get tired of. It's the best way to ring in the crisp fall weather and a perfect excuse to dress up nice and visit a cute farm for the day. After your date, you can use your apples to bake a delicious apple pie or treat!
2. Check out a trendy coffee shop
Fall is the best time to go check out new coffee shops in your area. Not only can you wear a trendy fall outfit for the outing, but you can also enjoy the cool, crisp air while sipping on a warm drink on the patio. Coffee shops are always brimming with delicious new autumn-inspired drinks to try.
3. Visit a farm
There are always endless things to do in farms during autumn—from corn mazes to delicious farm food and animals to see, the fall is one of their busiest seasons. Pick up a delicious homemade meal, jam, or pie to cook up something nice with your partner, or explore the fields and animals around the farm.
4. Go on a hike
For all of the outdoorsy couples out there, hiking in the fall is a must-do. The vibrant colors and falling leaves are so picturesque and romantic that you and your partner can enjoy. Here in Ontario, the pique of the fall colors start at the end of September to mid October.
5. Explore a small town
Small towns were made to be explored in autumn—with charming streets lined with boutiques and the vibrant leaves coloring the background, the fall vibes are incredible. There are fewer things I love more than walking through a small town in the fall with a hot apple cider. It's romantic and such a cute day to spend with your partner.
6. Bake treats together
There's no better time to bake than in the midst of autumn. With endless delicious treats and fun recipes to bake, you and your partner will have such a blast finding fun fall baking recipes to try together.
7. Go pumpkin picking
Get ready for Halloween by heading to a field and pumpkin picking with your partner. Once you find the perfect pumpkins, bring them home and have a fun night in carving your best creations. Or, you can try baking a delicious pumpkin pie instead.
8. Take a scenic drive
Driving through winding roads lined with colorful hills and vibrant views with a good playlist makes for a top-notch fall date idea. Put on a fall drive playlist, pick up a tasty drink, and drive out with your partner to see what you find on the way.
9. Get lost in a cornfield
Who said cornfields are just for kids? I love a good day out getting lost in a cornfield, and it makes for a fun, unique date idea. You can find most cornfields in farms, and after you explore the cornfield you can enjoy the rest of the farm's fall activities too.
10. Watch a movie at an outdoor cinema
Watch a movie with a twist by going to an outdoor cinema. Pack your car with snacks, a blanket, and spend a fall evening watching the latest movies under the stars. This is the perfect low-key date that's romantic and easy to plan.
11. Go thrifting
Everyone loves a good thrift session, so what better way to spend the day finding hidden gems than on a fall date with your partner? You'll be surprised by what you can find in different thrift stores, and you might even find a fun activity or DIY craft to do together.
12. Plan a board game night
Board game nights are so simple but such a fun way to hang out with your partner. Make it a date night by lighting some candles, getting out some snacks, and picking a few of your favorite games to play.
13. Visit a haunted house
If you love a good horror night, visit a haunted house this fall for a fright-inspired date night. Haunted houses are always a major attraction for Halloween, and there are some genuinely scary houses that will get you and your partner in the mood for spooky season.
14. Make your own candy apples
DIY your own candy apples with your partner. Candy apples are a staple fall treat and are easy to make so if you're not confident about your baking skills, make a few candy apples as a dessert. You can make them with caramel, syrup, and even decorate them for a cute finish.
15. Rent a cabin in the woods
Plan a romantic getaway at a cabin in the woods this autumnal season. There are fewer things as serene and romantic than being surrounded by stunning fall colors in a cozy cabin. Your partner will love that you thought of such a thoughtful idea for the two of you.
16. Head out on a camping trip
This is another one of those fall date ideas for outdoor lovers. Fall is one of the best times of year to go camping. The weather is perfect, it's not too hot or too cold, there are fewer bugs, and bonfires are the coziest. Camp out under the colorful woods and starry night sky with your partner for the ultimate fall date.
17. Get apple cider and a baked good
Keep things simple by taking your partner out for a hot apple cider and a baked good. Apple cider is a fall essential and I can't imagine the season without it. Go to your local coffee shop or farm to grab a cup of hot apple cider and treat for a slow, relaxing date out.
18. Watch a sports game
Fall is the time of football and baseball so if your partner loves sports, this is the perfect date to plan for them. Buy tickets for a sports game and cheer on your favorite team for a fun, upbeat fall date.
19. DIY your Halloween costumes together
DIY projects are always fun, so why not tackle your Halloween costume with a DIY session? Choose your couples costume and buy some materials and essentials to make them at home. This is the perfect rainy day activity, or date idea when you want to spend some one on one time with your partner.
20. Have a fall movie marathon night
There are so many fall-inspired movies that are a must watch during sweater weather season. From an old school fun romance like You Got Mail to a Halloween classic like Hocus Pocus, you'll have an endless list of films to choose from. Pop some popcorn, grab some snacks, and snuggle up under a blanket together for a cozy fall movie marathon.
21. Cook soup together
Soup is the fall meal staple that makes the season that much more cozy. Find a delicious soup recipe on Pinterest and cook a tasty meal that you can enjoy together. Some popular fall favorites to try are chicken noodle, butternut squash, tomato, and roasted red pepper/tomato soup.
22. Do a fall photoshoot together
The scenery is so magical during the fall, so what better way to make memories than with a fall photoshoot? Fall photoshoots are so beautiful and they're the perfect excuse to dress up with your partner and spend the day outside in the folliage.
23. Have a self-care night in
If you prefer a more laid-back, chill night in, unwind with a self-care night with your partner. Get some face masks, candles, movies or books, and anything else you both love doing together and enjoy some quality TLC time together.
