One of my favorite spring activities as an adult is watching the sunrise or sunset. Spring has some of the most beautiful sunrises/sets. Take a moment away from screens, work, or other distracting areas of life and practice being present in this moment.
22. Explore Nature
A lot of the best spring activities for adults involve a moment with nature. As adults, we often have more of an appreciation for nature than we did as children. With that, the spring season comes with a whole new element of magic and beauty. Spend some time outside taking in nature this spring season.

An at-home outdoor movie theatre is easier than you might think. Really, all it takes is some cozy blankets and pillows, an outdoor projector, and some good movie snacks! It’s like a movie in the park from the comfort of your home!

Yard games are the PERFECT spring activity for adults. There are SO many great yard game options that can keep you entertained for hours.
These are also great to set up at parties, BBQs, or get-togethers. Everyone loves some good friendly competition over a yard game. 😉

Spring is a great time to switch up your dinner rotation. Winter is all about warm casseroles and comfy soups. As we enter spring, it’s time to incorporate some fresher meals into dinnertime! Fruits, veggies, lean meats, fish, and other delicious ingredients are perfect for some festive spring dinner ideas.
29. Self-Tan
Anyone else feel a lot better when they are tan? It’s actually incredibly common to feel better about yourself when you have a bit of a tan. It can boost confidence and make you feel better about your appearance.
As the weather warms, you may be showing more skin in your everyday clothing choices. If you feel that you could benefit from a bit of a bronzed glow, apply some natural self-tanner.
30. Spring Clean
The ultimate spring activity for adults… spring cleaning.
Before you click away, hear me out! Spring cleaning can actually be really satisfying and fulfilling.

Baking something delicious is NEVER a bad idea. Not only is it fun to eat, but it’s also fun to make! Spring baked goods are some of my favorites! Lemons, berries, and other fresh flavors make for such an amazing kitchen creation!
34. Binge-Watch a Cheerful Show
Find something fun and lighthearted to binge-watch this spring. Gossip Girl, FRIENDS, and Emily in Paris are some of my personal favorite light-hearted, mindless shows. When in doubt, scroll Hulu or HBOMax for some great TV options!
35. Spring-ify Your Wardrobe
Making the wardrobe switch from winter to spring is one of the most exciting spring activities for adults. I just LOVE seeing the fun, warm-weather clothes come out again after a cold winter. Tuck away those bulky sweaters and parkas. Bring on tank tops and shorts!
36. Start a New Skincare Routine
Skincare is so incredibly important – but so often overlooked! Start a new skincare routine as part of your adult spring activities. Switching to lighter, brighter skincare products for the warmer months is helpful for your spring skincare routine. It’s also a great time to bump up your SPF to get some sun protection!

How often do we, as adults, take the time to really relax and get lost in a good book? Probably not as often as we should.
Add reading to your list of spring activities for adults. Take this as your sign to take a break from your busy schedule and lose yourself in a good book.

A spa night… at home?! Does it get any better than that?! Pamper yourself from the comfort of your own home this spring. You’ll feel refreshed and rejuvenated, making this the perfect spring activity for adults!

Who says you can’t throw a party “just because”? It’s spring! That’s all the reason you need! Invite over a few loved ones and have a springtime bash – complete with spring food, spring games, spring clothing, and spring decor! (Give me a call if you do this one… this sounds fun!)
50. Have a “Do Nothing” Day
As adults, we often forget the beauty of doing nothing. We work hard only to come home and work more. Having a do-nothing day is a must-do spring activity for adults. We spend too much time stressed out and worn down. Clear your to-do list and have a day of nothingness. It feels great!
