3) Have a Sunset Stroll

The perfect spring date ideas don’t have to be elaborate. You could just hold hands, whisper sweet nothings as you take a slow evening walk. The golden hues of the setting sun make for a romantic and picturesque date.

4) Do a Pyjama & Movie Night

Stay in, wear comfy PJs, and watch a romantic comedy. Don’t forget the popcorn (and the inevitable popcorn fight!)

For a spring-themed romantic movie night, consider “You’ve Got Mail,” “Emma,” “Set It Up,” or “Call Me by Your Name,” all offering different flavors of romance and lightheartedness. 

5) Visit a Butterfly Garden

Spring is when butterflies are most active, making it the perfect time to visit a butterfly sanctuary. Walk through a garden filled with these delicate creatures fluttering all around.

6) Go To a Botanical Garden

Likewise, pack a picnic and head to a Botanical Garden, when all the beautiful Spring flowers are in bloom! It’s a wonderfully relaxing way to spend a Spring afternoon, and really quite romantic!

7) Go to a Zoo…

Or a petting do even! Cuddle baby animals and take adorable selfies with goats, bunnies, and lambs. I mean, what’s not to love about that?!

8) Go to a Drive-In Movie

As the weather gets warmer, outdoor movie nights and drive in movies typically come back! This is therefore a classic and cozy spring date idea that lets you enjoy a movie under the stars. 

Nothing on in your area? Then try re-creating your own one in your garden at home! If it gets a little nippy, you can always have the choice to take it indoors.

9) Play Tennis or Pickleball

It’s a lighthearted way to get active while flirting between serves; one of the best fun & flirty sports for couples, that’s for sure!

Want to make it even more competitive? Then this, of course, works as a super great double date idea too, going head to head against another couple!

10) Have a Coffee Date at an Outdoor Café

Spring means it’s finally warm enough to enjoy your coffee outside! Find a cute café with patio seating, and have a good chit chat.

These couples this or that questions always work well, or make it more romantic with these cute questions for couples. The options are pretty endless!

The views. The atmosphere. If you’re lucky – the chance to catch a sunset. Pure bliss!

Rooftop bar drinks is one of the most perfect spring date ideas, because it’s not something you can easily do all year around (which is why you have to make the most of it!)

Sit across each and write heartfelt words. Use our powerful appreciation messages or these different ways to say I love you, to show just how much you care.

It’s a very different idea, but something which could become a pretty sweet, springtime tradition!

Spring brings new life, and that includes adorable baby ducklings at ponds and lakes. Grab some bird-friendly feed and spend a peaceful afternoon watching them waddle around.

(At least it gives you an excuse to buy yourself some then too!)

Don’t want Springtime to ever end? Then…

42) Have a Dandelion Wish Contest

Find a field of dandelions, make wishes, and see whose seeds float the farthest. It’s the perfect date idea if you’re looking to simply get out and about amongst nature.

43) Fly Kites in the Park

The soft Spring breezes make it the perfect time to fly kites! Pick out a fun design, head to a park, and enjoy the simple joy of watching it soar.

Yes, it’s a thing! Yoga with adorable baby goats climbing on you? An instant mood booster according to research. Don’t knock it, til you’ve tried it, right?!

45) Take a Dance Class

Learn salsa, ballroom, or even swing dancing together. Awkward footwork makes it even more fun! Alternatively, if you’re looking for something you can do from the comfort of your own home – have a go at making up your own dance!

For a spring-themed dance routine, you could create a piece that mimics the growth of flowers, the flight of butterflies, or the playful antics of springtime animals, using music and movements that evoke the season’s energy.

It involves you stepping out your comfort zone for sure, but have fun with it; relax; show your partner another care-free side of you!

If you enjoy it, you can do different versions every season together.

46) Do a Color Run Together

Give back by helping at an animal shelter, community garden, or food bank. Nothing is more attractive than kindness! Knowing you share the same moral value will strengthen your bond, and when it comes to something like this – there really is no better time than now!

51) Start a Spring Side Hustle

Create a regular date night, with a couples side hustle that sets your soul on fire!

This could be something seasonal – like, lawn care, gardening, selling plants, or dog walking. But it will set you up with extra cash to do and experience even more together come Summer then.
