Raise your hand if you’re excited for spring to be here! (raises hand and waves it wildly in the air) We are SO excited that warmer weather is here and that we can get outside together more often. I’m antsy to break out the patio furniture and grill, but we need to stain our deck before I cover it in furniture to spend more time outside.
The list below includes a few of our favorite date night activities in the area perfect for spring weather! If you’re looking for even more spring date ideas, sign up for our mailing list on our sidebar and we’ll send you a free ebook filled with seasonal date ideas specific to Davis County. Happy spring and happy dating!
Spring Date Ideas in Davis County
Take a walk or go fishing at the USU Botanical Gardens
My office is located near the botanical gardens and I can’t help but admire the gardens every time I drive through. There is wildlife everywhere and the paved paths make the gardens a great place to stroll and talk. There is also a lot of space to fish, and I see people there all the time with their poles. It’s a great place to explore, relax, and play. For a little extra fun, check out the Hidden Gems, Date Your Mate Adventure Guide for the USU Botanical Center, put together by the USU Extension.

Go on a hike
Davis County is filled with great trails, both in the mountains and down in the valley, not far from your home! One of our favorites is the Wild Rose Trail, especially for a sunset hike! You can go hiking just to enjoy the scenery and each other’s company, or look for a geocache while you’re out!

Try a new restaurant at Station Park
Station Park has welcomed some great new restaurants to the area over the last year or so and all of them are worth trying! Twigs and Sushi Monster have been at Station Park for a while now, but both make great date night locations! For a lower-key date night, check out Zao, Habit Burger, Cafe Zupas, Waffle Love, or Santorini Greek Grill.

Baby Animal Days at Cross E Ranch
Every festival we have attended at Cross E Ranch has been phenomenal! They have fun farm activities, tours of the farm via wagon ride, delicious food and treats to enjoy, and of course the baby animals! I’ve been following them on social media and they have been sharing all of the new baby animals around the farm as they’ve been born. It’s fun to get a behind-the-scenes view of what goes on and how hard they work to make sure those babies are healthy. This year’s festival will run from April 5th through May 11th and promises to include lots of farm and festival fun!
Take a tour of your town
Do you know everything that your town has to offer? Are their museums? Mom and pop restaurants you’ve never tried? Historical locations? Trails or nature areas that you didn’t know existed? Pull up Google maps and scan your town for things you might want to check out or see. Lookup sites on the county’s historical registry, then go out and explore and learn new things about where you live!
Go biking on Legacy Trail
Have you ever ridden the length of Legacy Trail in Davis County? The views are gorgeous and it makes a great date activity for spring. After you’re done riding the trail, stop at one of your favorite dessert places for a treat.
Mini golf
Cherry Hill’s mini-golf course opens the first weekend in April and is a really fun activity to enjoy for date night. You can find discount coupons in local mailers. Grab some hand pies from the Pie Pantry after you’re done playing a round or two together.

Have a photoshoot
A lot of people take photos for the year during the late summer and fall months, but spring is a great time for a photo shoot as well! The flowers are blooming and everything is green and gorgeous. Hire a photographer or recruit a talented family member to take your pictures. Spend up to an hour enjoying each other’s company while somebody captures photos of your relationship. After you’re done, enjoy dessert together. Ask around for suggestions of where to find the best spring blossoms locally for your pictures.
Worth the Trip
Brunch at Top Golf
This will always be one of our favorite date activities, no matter the weather. We love playing at Top Golf and have come to love the food just as much as we love the venue.
Hogle Zoo
We love to go to the zoo when the weather has warmed up just a bit but it still cooler. The animals are more active and you don’t leave sweaty and sunburned.
Whatever you choose to do for date night over the next few months, make a purpose to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather. Get your Vitamin D and enjoy the fresh air together. You’ll be happier and your date night routine will thank you for freshening things up!
What are your favorite spring date night activities that get you outside this time of year?
