This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UWindsor chapter.

Apple Picking

One of the most popular fall activities is apple picking, and though it typically is a family affair, it doesn’t have to be! Taking your significant other to an apple orchard can be a very fun way to spend the day. Spending the morning picking apples can be followed by spending the afternoon baking delicious apple pies.

Visiting a Haunted House

While haunted houses can be incredibly scary, it is guaranteed to get you closer to your date! It definitely isn’t an ideal date for those who get scared easily, but it is always fun to laugh later on at how much you screamed.

Having a Halloween Movie Marathon

From classic family movies such as Hocus Pocus to horror films such as Scream, there truly is a Halloween movie that interests everybody. Cuddle up by the fire with some popcorn and spend the night in front of the television.

Buying Halloween costumes can be incredibly expensive, especially buying matching couple costumes! It is much more practical (and fun) to make your own! Visiting various resale shops to create your own costume can be a fun bonding experience for you and your significant other. It makes it much easier to bring all your various costume dreams to a reality without breaking the bank.

Nature Walks

One of the most beautiful sights of fall are the changing colour of the leaves. Take advantage of the very mild weather and go for a walk alongside your significant other in a local park or conservation area. This can be a great opportunity to bond while taking in all the spectacular sights that fall brings.
