Start with a Taste of Fall Flavor

Food and drinks are central to the dating experience, and no matter what kind of date you're having, you can infuse it with fall flavor in Columbus. Columbus coffee shops have plenty of options for flavorful drinks, while local breweries have shifted to the season's sweet, malty and refreshing flavors. Download the Columbus Coffee Trail pass to win prizes together along the way!

Farm-to-table restaurants throughout the city highlight autumn harvest from central Ohio farms, so be sure to check out seasonal menu items at places like The Guild House, Northstar Café and Service Bar. You can also take the season's bounty home with you by visiting an area apple orchard!

Get Outdoors and Enjoy the Fall Aesthetic

One of the best things about fall in central Ohio is the scenery. Red, orange and yellow leaves create the picture-perfect scene. If you're about the fall aesthetic, then Columbus has you covered. Get active and take a fall hike to watch the leaves change, snap a seasonal pic in a local pumpkin patch, or cozy up for a romantic, leisurely stroll through the scenes at Franklin Park Conservatory’s Pumpkins Aglow.

Shop and Explore in German Village

There's really no place like German Village in the fall. Get lost together in the 32 rooms full of your favorite stories at The Book Loft or shop for locally made treasures at The Red Stable. Pick up the perfect fall candle at 3rd & Sycamore or simply walk through the brick-paved streets to spy the spooky decorations sprinkled throughout the neighborhood.

Catch an Outdoor Movie

Land-Grant Brewing’s Movie Series takes place every Tuesday in their outdoor beer garden. Don your fall apparel, grab your blankets and prepare for a movie night under the stars paired with delicious Land-Grant Beers, including their fall release, Patch, while it lasts! Learn more here.

Wander Through the Great Ohio (Cement) Corn Maze

Dublin’s impressive collection of public art is sure to spark conversation. Wander through the iconic Field of Corn, where 109 human-sized cement corn cobs stand as a nod to the city’s agricultural heritage. The Art in Public Places Pass will guide you to twelve must-see installations around the city, share artist secrets, and reward you with one-of-a-kind prizes created by local artists—a souvenir to remember your perfect fall date.
