Fall season basics:
Pumpkin Patch and a Corn Maze – Fall is here! Take advantage of the fall season festivities and join in on the traditional fun.
Here in the Seattle area Bob’s Corn & Pumpkin Farm is a very popular location to do both! Bob’s is my favorite pumpkin patch around. Also, this farm offers private bonfires for a party of up to 16 people; you can go just you and your partner or invite friends to tag along.
Haunted House – Going together to a haunted house is a great halloween date night idea. But try not to get too scared!
Go to a halloween store together – You can have a lot of fun just going to a halloween store and laughing at what costumes and accessories are availible.
Bake a Fall Season Treat Together – Baking is a fun and cutesy thing to do together. There are tons of recipes special for the season.
My Personal Favorites:
Coffee Shop Date – One of my favorite date night ideas! Find a local coffee shop you haven’t tried before, yes that means venturing out from your typical Starbucks or Dutch Bros. run.
The Seattle Starbucks Roastery is always one of my favorites. But if you’re from Seattle and have already been, it’s always exciting to try something completely new to you, luckily Seattle has tons of local options.
Visit A Local Botanical Garden – This is always fun to get out of the house and see the beautiful gardens.
My favorite botanical garden in the Seattle area is the Bellevue Botanical Garden. I visit this garden a couple times every fall and winter season. They even do a Christmas lights garden.
Go to a local Rock Show – Support your local bands! You don’t have to know the band or artist to enjoy their music. Tickets are fairly cheap and this is a good way to support the local scene. Who knows, you might even discover new music and artists you like.
Visit A Cat Cafe – Calling all cat lovers! Not only is this a cheap date night idea, but the money you do pay goes toward the cats – who can say no to that?
My favorite cat cafe is the Seattle Meowtropolitan. It costs only $13 to visit the cats and that includes a hot drink of your choice. And they also offer Yoga sessions with the cats, how fun!
Game night (board game, card games, video games) – This is your chance to switch it up! This is a great opportunity to pull out an old card game, an old gaming system like an N64 or some board games. Have date night from the comfort of your couch!

Maybe Just A Few More Date Night Ideas?
Take a cooking class together or cook a home made meal together – Look into taking a cooking class together, there’s a lot to offer out there. Try something unique and new, while learning to cook something you both don’t know how to already. On the other hand, If you’d rather stay in, just cook a home made meal together.
Trivia Night – Find a local bar that offers trivia night!
Free Museum Night – Many museums offer free entrance night from time to time. This is a great opportunity to get a little dressed up and to see some interesting art.
In Seattle there are many museums participating in the free first Thursday of every month, including a list of free all the time places.
Visit A Local Farmers Market – Farmers markets are so unique with all that they offer. This is an opportunity to support local farmers and creators, not to mention fresh locally grown fruit and vegetables? Pick some out and make a date night meal out of them!
Do a DIY at Home Spa Night and Watch Scary Movies – This is always a fun date night idea. There are tons of DIY beauty face masks, body scrubs, body butters, oils, and milk bath recipes on Pinterest. All recipes are homemade and include a lot of easy household items like olive oil. Ultimately the goal is to enjoy a relaxing spa night at home and watch spooky halloween movies.
Camp in your backyard or even your living room! – Date night doesn’t always mean leaving the house. Set up a fun cozy spot and pretend you’re camping!
Grab your favorite snacks and go watch the sunset (even if you have to sit in your car) – Yes, it’s fall but you can still go watch the sunset together. Even if you have to sit in the car because of the fall chill this is an opportunity to talk and put the electronics down.
Go to A Craft Store and Pick Something Fun– Get creative! Pick out whatever you like to do. The options are endless: painting, coloring, knitting, building, creating, etc. Another positive is that common arts and crafts stores typically offer coupons and have great clearance sections.
Geocaching – Download the free geocaching app on your smart phone. This is such a fun activity to do together. Geocaching is a work-together activity to find the exact location of a geocache. It can be so interesting to find different things and see how many other people have found it as well.
