When the leaves begin to change colors, the weather is finally chilly enough to wear your favorite sweater, and you find yourself under the Friday night lights of the football game, you know that fall has finally arrived. Fall can be a romantic time for young couples in the Lehigh Valley, therefore going on enchanting fall dates is a must during these special months.

Apple and pumpkin picking at Grim’s Orchard

                Bringing your significant other to a farm with loads of apples and pumpkins to pick is entertaining for both partners. With 18,400 apple trees to choose from, you and your partner will have no problem finding as many apples as you both could ever want. Along with their enormous selection of apples, Grim’s also has thousands of pumpkins to pick and carve. Apple and pumpkin picking allows you and your significant other to get outside, spend hours together deciding on the perfect pumpkin, and brings the fall spirit to all.

Not only does Grim’s offer apple and pumpkin picking, during fall they also have a festival that includes tons of activities for you and your sweetheart to enjoy together. Their haunted corn maze will not only test your mind, but also how tight you can squeeze onto your partner’s arm after being scared by the frightful attractions scattered about. Grim’s also has glow in the dark paintballing to practice protecting your loved one from zombie farmers all around the crops at the orchard.

Going on a sweater weather picnic

Now that the temperature has finally dropped to below 50 degrees, sweater weather has officially begun. Picnics are the perfect way for you and your loved one to bond over some fancy cheeses, crust-free ham sandwiches, and a bottle of sparkling apple cider.

Picnics are easy to make and they can be held at almost any location, such as a park or your backyard, making it easy for you and your sweetheart to quickly put together an enchanting date night.  So go out and look under the stars on your picnic blanket, enjoy those little sandwiches your mom made for the both of you, and fall in love with the autumn night on your sweater weather picnic.

Going to the Hotel of Horror

                Surprisingly, being scared to the point of peeing your pants can bring a couple closer than ever. At the Hotel of Horror in Saylorsburg, there is no chance of either of you leaving without being terrified to the point of shaking in each other’s arms. Although haunted houses are not the first place that comes to mind for a romantic date, they can be some of the most entertaining. Haunted houses will also get you two into the Halloween spirit, a holiday to spend together scaring other little children. At the Hotel of Horror, there is no shortage of fear, tears, blood, and sweat that will make you two fall even more in love.

Overall, you and your sweetheart will have an enchanting autumn night together at any of these dates that will bring you two closer than ever. The entire fall season is truly a mesmerizing time for couples who love to venture out looking for a romantic night.
