It can be tricky to find time to go on dates, not to mention locating fun opportunities that don’t cost half your savings. Luckily, there are ample free weekend date ideas anyone will enjoy.
Why Are Weekend Dates Ideal?
Weekend dates are ideal because you’re both off work, most things are open, and it’s a time when there are ample free opportunities for fun. It’s much easier for both partners to prioritize spending time with each other rather than being pulled away by work and other weekday activities.
Top Free Weekend Date Ideas
1. See an Open House
Open houses allow one to walk through a home and explore all the details. It’s for people intending to purchase the home, but they aren’t off-limits for individuals who want to browse.
If you have time, dress up in fancy outfits and attend open houses in your dream neighborhood for homes you could never afford. Explore details and dream with your partner as you see what’s available. It’s completely free!
2. Backyard Camping
If you and your partner are outdoorsy but don’t want to spend too much on reserving a camping spot, consider camping in your backyard. You can set up a tent, bring all the comforts of home, and escape back inside if the going gets tough. Weather can’t squash the mood when you can run back inside at a moment’s notice.
3. Going for a Hike
Hikes are an opportunity to bond with your partner, examine the beauty of nature, and do a fun, free activity. Check out your local park or a nationally protected area in your area. Some have an entrance fee, but many are free, especially if you visit them in the older months.
4. Volunteer Together
If you and your loved one have empathetic hearts, consider volunteering together as a weekend date. It’s free, and you get to help others simultaneously.
Ask at your local soup kitchen, pick up trash in the park, or assist with animals at your local pet shelter. There are dozens of volunteer opportunities in any town.
5. Shop at a Farmer’s Market
Finally, head to your local farmer’s market to gather organic goods and socialize with the town locals. There are always treasures at a farmer’s market, but you don’t have to spend money if you don’t want to.
