10 Fun Things to Do in Your Car This Fall

If you want to have some wonderful fun in your car this fall, you’ll want to get a little creative. Autumn can make it fun to get out and drive.

With the heat of summer gone, football being played all around us, and leaves changing colors, autumn is in the air. What fun activities do you have planned with your significant other? This is a great time to get in the car and enjoy some cool car dates and group activities that can be a lot of fun. Here are ten ideas for you.

Drive Your Car Slowly Down a Holiday-Themed Street

Many towns decorate the streets with wonderful light shows and beautiful displays to let the world see how much they want to celebrate the season. Fall is the entry into the holiday season with Halloween and Thanksgiving. If your city, or a nearby one, goes all out with streets decked out in fall holiday displays, take a slow drive down some of the streets to admire what the city put up for everyone to enjoy.

Head to the Country for Some Stargazing

Pack a few blankets and pillows and head to the country. One of the most fun things to do in your car this fall is to find a spot where you can park and look at the stars. Add a musical theme to your relaxing fun with a Bluetooth speaker. Watch out; your time out under the stars might turn into a romantic night that you both remember for many years. This could be something you want to do every fall together.

Enjoy The Scenic Drives Offered At This Time of Year

Many areas of the country offer gorgeous displays of changing leaves for the season. Find one of these scenic drives and head to that road to take some amazing pictures and enjoy the wonderful views offered. This is a great way to get away from your town and spend some time with your partner while being surrounded by the sights and sounds of the season. Where are you driving, and what do you think you’ll see while out on the road?

Throw a Driveway Tailgate Party

Do you have a pickup truck? Can you bring your TV outside and still see the football game? If so, this is the perfect scenario to have a tailgate party right in your driveway. Put on your football jersey, decorate your lawn, and invite a few friends. This is one of the most fun things to do in your car this fall that doesn’t require you to drive around. Get in the spirit and enjoy the fun of grilling some food and watching your favorite team from the back of your truck.

Turn Your Vehicle into Your Tent for an Overnight Adventure

More drives than ever enjoy the size and drive of an SUV or truck. These vehicles are versatile, useful, and can be used as a tent when you go out for an overnight camping trip. Even if your significant other doesn’t like camping, they might enjoy waking up next to the shore in the back of the vehicle with you. This type of car camping can be a lot of fun, and if you only go for one night, it can be the perfect amount of time for the non-camper in your life.

Have Singalong Challenges During your Carpool

This activity isn’t limited to the fall, but it’s one of the most fun things to do in your car this fall and at every time of the year. Play some of the music that you all love and challenge each other to get the most lyrics right, or sing the best. Loser pays for the morning coffee on the way to work. You can take this game into winter and add some holiday songs that everyone can enjoy.

Take Your Car to a Drive-In Concert

Fall is the time of year when drive-in activities take place. Someone in your area might have set up a temporary movie theater as a drive-in, and someone else might be hosting concerts that are ideal for drivers to bring their cars and enjoy the wonderful music being played. If you can’t find any drive-in opportunities in your area, maybe you should create one and invite everyone to attend.

Take a Drive-Thru Tour for Your Dinner

Instead of ordering your usual items, take some time and go with your partner through some of your favorite drive-thru restaurants and order only one item each. You could do this by selecting random numbers and trying items you’ve never had before. This is a fun thing to do in your car this fall and can be something you want to do regularly. It might be fun to share this experience with family and friends on Snapchat or TikTok where they can see how much fun you have together.

Create a Car Parade to Celebrate Something Special

During COVID-19, many communities came together to have car parades for birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. You don’t need hundreds of cars, but if you can get ten or more together, you can have a fun car parade. You can do this to celebrate special occasions or just as something fun to do on Friday night. Does this remind you of cruising through town with your friends? Where do you think the idea came from?

Set Up a Driving Scavenger Hunt

Get your friends, family, and neighbors involved and create a car-themed scavenger hunt. You can use addresses as markers and give some hints at what people should find when they arrive at that location. Tell everyone they need to take photos from their car during the hunt. This can be a lot of fun, and you could offer a car wash kit or oil change gift card as a prize for the winner to keep things car-themed from start to finish.

Will you enjoy some of these amazing activities that you can enjoy in your car this fall? Take your partner out for some fun and adventures together during this wonderful season.
