Pumpkin spice, fall foliage, and cozy sweaters— these are a few of our favorite fall things! With summer coming to an end, now is the perfect time to take your significant other out for a fun fall date. Check below for some ideas that will surely get your date to cozy up to you:

Apple Picking at Oak Glen

Apple picking is a great way to bond with your date because it’s just you, them and a whole bunch of apples. Work as a team to pick that one apple that is out of reach! By the end of the date, you’ll have a basket full of apples and a heart full of love.  Oak Glen is a five-mile loop of farms, orchards and shops where you can pick apples, berries and more. If you’re of age, stop by the Oak Glen Cider Company for a hard cider to end your night.

The Tanaka Farms Pumpkin Patch

Picking a pumpkin with your main squeeze is peak fall date cuteness. Starting in September, the Tanaka Farms Pumpkin Patch will be open for the public to peruse the acres of pumpkins— from small pumpkins that fit in your palm to giant ones you can’t even carry, they even have pink ones. There’s also a corn maze to get lost in, but don’t worry, your date will be there to hold your hand through it all!

Romance is always in the air in LaLaLand. Take a hike up to the Hollywood Sign and get breathtaking views of L.A.’s skyline. An easy hike, the Mt. Hollywood Trail starts at the Griffith Observatory’s parking lot and ends under the sign, where you get a great side-view of it. For a more rigorous course, the Cahuenga Peak Hike starts at the Aileen Getty Ridge Trail.
