Fall date ideas in Toronto


High Park in Toronto

See the fall foliage in High Park

High Park is the perfect place to stroll through for some gorgeous fall foliage!

Bring along some sandwiches and coffees for a cute fall picnic date by the picturesque pond.

If you’re up for getting some exercise, you can rent a Bike Share and ride along the bike trails!

LOCATION: 1873 Bloor St. West, Toronto, ON


Scarborough Bluffs, Ontario
Scarborough Bluffs

Explore Scarborough Bluffs

The Scarborough Bluffs is beautiful year-round, but fall is definitely my favourite season to explore it.

Spend a romantic afternoon admiring all the gorgeous fall foliage and watching the waves crash against the beach!

Just be smart and don’t stand too close to any cliff edges or anything, ya know.

Afterwards, you can hit up one of Scarborough’s many awesome restaurants for a romantic dinner date.

LOCATION: Scarborough Bluffs, Toronto, ON


Hike at Glen Stewart Ravine

If you’re looking to get out of the city while not actually having to get out of the city, Glen Stewart Ravine is the perfect place to go.

Hike through the forest, walk along the picturesque boardwalk, and enjoy the gorgeous views!

It’s especially incredible during the fall with all the changing leaves, and it’s super Instagrammable if that’s what your partner’s into!

It’s located in the Beaches neighbourhood, so you can walk along the boardwalk at the Beaches afterwards to enjoy the fall weather even more.

LOCATION: Glen Stewart Ravine, Toronto, ON


Toronto International Film Festival

Watch a TIFF film together

Watching a movie during the Toronto International Film Festival is completely different than watching a movie any other day.

The excitement, the hustle and bustle, the celebrities – it’s just such a fun and unique experience!

Take your date on an exclusive VIP experience with a TIFF screening and a romantic dinner in the Entertainment District.

TIFF is having drive-in screenings this year, which is even more fun!

LOCATION: 350 King St. West, Toronto, ON


Nuit Blanche in Toronto

Wander around Nuit Blanche

While Nuit Blanche is usually filled with drunk crowds and rowdy teenagers, it’s not so bad if you go right when it starts at 7 PM.

Spend the evening wandering around the city and looking at cool works of art with your S/O.

Stay out all night, or go home at 9 PM to binge-watch some horror movies together.

Nuit Blanche isn’t happening this year, but it’s a good date idea to keep in mind for next year!


Scrabble at Snakes and Lattes Board Game Cafe in Toronto

Get competitive at Snakes & Lattes

If you and your S/O are the competitive types, spend an evening playing board games at Snakes & Lattes.

Yes, you can play board games at home, but there are so many more options at Snakes.

Whether you’re into strategy games or word games, they’ve got pretty much any game you could ever want to play!

And their Nutella lattes are delicious!

LOCATION: Various locations


Gooderham Building in St. Lawrence Market, Toronto

Taste food at St. Lawrence Market

What better way to warm up your bellies than with some delicious food?

Spend a morning or afternoon wandering around the St. Lawrence Market and tasting all kinds of different foods!

Whether you’re feeling an authentic Montreal bagel or tasty European perogies, it’s the perfect spot for a foodie date.

You can also enjoy whatever you get on the outdoor patio if it’s not too cold outside!

St. Lawrence Market in Toronto

You can either grab tickets to a guided group food tasting tour around St. Lawrence Market, or you can meander around and explore yourselves.

Afterwards, you can do a little exploring in the Old Town neighbourhood, which is where the city originated!

There are also tons of fantastic restaurants in the Old Town neighbourhood.

LOCATION: 93 Front St. East, Toronto, ON


Halloween Haunt at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario

Get spooky at Halloween Haunt

In the mood to get a good scare with your S/O?

Pay a visit to Halloween Haunt at Canada’s Wonderland.

You may get chased away from your partner by a freaky clown, but at least you can call it a unique date…

If you’re looking for somewhere to eat after being terrified for your lives, hit up one of the best restaurants in Vaughan!

LOCATION: 1 Canada’s Wonderland Drive, Vaughan, ON


Pursuit OCR in Toronto

Work up a sweat at Pursuit OCR

If you and your S/O are into fitness, you’ll want to stop by for a day of working up a sweat at Pursuit OCR.

Compete against your partner in the obstacle courses and jump into the ball pit!

Try your hand at axe throwing

Looking for something exciting and different to do for date night?

Axe throwing is the perfect date night activity if you’re in the mood to do something a little more adventurous.

It’s a little terrifying, but that’s what makes it so thrilling!
