We love date night. Especially because, to us, date night can mean one-on-one time with your special someone, or it can mean one on-one-time with one of your kids. We know that spending time together will strengthen your relationship no matter who it is with! So here are our favorite Spring Date Ideas in Utah. These are perfect for enjoying a little sunshine, and special events that only happen in the Spring. For other date night ideas, use our full list of Utah Date Nights.
Tulip Festival
The Tulip Festival is our favorite spring activity because there are so many beautiful flowers to see. Wander together through the Ashton Gardens and take dozens of adorable photos together. If you want even more activities, come on a weekend when there is live music, food trucks, and more. This is definitely a special Spring Date Idea!
Capitol Cherry Blossoms
In the first few weeks of April (based on weather), the cherry trees that line the sidewalk around the Utah Capitol Building bloom. It is beautiful! This is a great time to enjoy a visit to the Capitol. Walk through the beautiful building, or even take a tour. Then walk through the gorgeous blossoms together. There are great monuments around the outside, too. This one is also free!
Picnic
When we were a young couple, short on cash, our favorite date was to go on a picnic together. It was as simple as making a little food at home, packing it up, and driving to somewhere lovely. Now we usually pick up some lunch on our way to a destination, and we often make it a date for the whole family. Still, this is a fun, inexpensive way to enjoy a nice Spring day!
Nature Walk or Hike
Who doesn’t love just being outside in the warm weather and sunshine once spring hits? We definitely do, so one thing we like to do together is walk a nature trail or easy hike. This way we can enjoy the beautiful world we live in and each other’s company. Here are 4 suggestions for nature trails or easy hikes for you and your loved one:
- Miller Bird Refuge Park: SLC
- Eccles Wildlife Center Nature Trail: Farmington
- Bridal Veil Falls: Provo Canyon
- Wild Rose Trail: North Salt Lake
Beach Scene at Hawaii Fluid Art
We love doing creative dates together, and Hawaii Fluid Art is awesome. They have so many different projects that you can create and you no artistic talent is required. We loved creating beach scenes last time we visited, and these scenes are perfect in the Spring when you’re starting to think about those summer vacations.
Escape Date
Escape rooms are super fun, and the reason we love Escape Date is it was designed to be completed by just two people. You can bring more if you’d like, but the owners created a space where couples could come and do an escape room without sharing it with anyone else. They have a few different rooms to choose from.
Baby Animal Events
We love baby animals, and there are quite a few places where you can visit these cuties in Utah. This is a fun date where you can snuggle the animals and laugh together over their silliness.
The Wick Lab
Create your own candle at the Wick Lab. There are so many scents to choose from, and we like to make candles that bring us the scents of Spring. The process is easy, and it is a great one to do together. The Wick Lab has locations in 4 spots across the Wasatch Front: Provo, Draper, Sugarhouse, and Ogden
Dipped Haus
I think dipping strawberries in chocolate feels very Spring like to me! Strawberries always make me think of warmer weather, so this date is a kick off to leaving winter behind! Dipped Haus provides everything you need. You just show up and make beautiful dipped strawberries together. We had a ton of fun chatting and helping each other, and then tasting all the yummy designs. Located in Sandy.
This is the Place Heritage Park
I am excited to add This is the Place on a Spring Date idea list. This will have to be a day date because the park closes at 5 pm, but they made a bunch of changes and you can now enter the park for FREE. Walk through the historic villages, check out the animals, and enjoy any free activities. If you’d like to do some other hands-on activities, these cost a fee. But we love the charming pioneer village, monuments, and demonstrations that you could all see for free. Plus the grounds are waking up, so they are starting to bloom in the Spring.
Utah Tulip Festival
This is a brand new tulip festival in Utah where you can cut your own tulips! We had an amazing time. Both Randy and I loved walking through and choosing which tulips to cut. There were tons of couples. And there are also a lot of great places to take cute photos together, too. This is an awesome new Spring date in Utah.
