This post is all about the spring bucket list.

What are popular spring activities?

Spring is a bit of a funny season because it may still be cold where you live, or you may be finally experiencing the first warm days of the year! That said, the spring activities that make sense to do can vary!

But with your goal likely being to get outdoors a little more, some popular spring activities include:

Picnics in the park
Planting a spring garden (or even just one plant!)
Touring the local spring flowers
Going to a farmer’s market
Getting your spring cleaning in
Berry picking
Bird watching

Where I live, it snowed in April last year so spring can be all over the place for me! But I definitely tried to take advantage of the warm days that were sprinkled in, and I encourage you to do the same!

Here are 90+ fun and refreshing spring bucket list ideas.

Fun outdoor spring activities

Fly a kite. Who even thinks about kites anymore?! All the more reason to relive your childhood days and go fly one!
Feed the ducks. Find your local duck pond and make sure to feed duck-safe food like oats, rice, birdseed, and frozen peas.
Go berry picking. Strawberry fields are what you’ll likely find this season!
Go bird watching. You can even use one of those nature identifier apps to learn which birds you’re looking at!

Have a picnic in the park.
Set up a bird feeder.
Hike a new trail.

Spring cleaning ideas for your bucket list

A great way to get your life in check for the new season is to do a “monthly reset.” Grab my (free!) monthly reset routine checklist below!

Put away the winter clothing. It will feel SO refreshing to get those bulky winter clothes out of the way and make room for lighter gear!
Revamp your room. You can swap out the wall decor, replace your dresser and nightstand, or maybe even paint the walls!
Rearrange your living room furniture.

Deep clean each room in your house.
Toss out expired food in your fridge, freezer, and pantry.
Clean things you might tend to forget about, like the inside of your oven.
Tidy up your desk space.
Evaluate what to donate/sell from your closet. I usually opt for Goodwill, but if I have more time I’ve been meaning to try out selling on eBay! I’ve heard that eBay is way less work than Poshmark.
Have a yard sale to get rid of unwanted belongings. Here’s some easy hacks toward minimalism!
Empty drawers and cabinets and wipe down the interior.
Organize your pantry.
Toss out old makeup or makeup you haven’t used in forever.
Clean out your dishwasher.
Sweep and mop all the floors.
Dust light fixtures, vents, and ceiling fans.
Wash your curtains, throw pillows, and blankets that normally go unwashed.
Wipe down washer and dryer exterior.
Organize the clothing items in your dresser drawers. I know my dresser drawers are more jam packed than they need to be!
Wash windows and window sills.
Vacuum all floors.
Toss out expired medicines. Because that Advil that expired in 2019 probably doesn’t work anymore!
Clean showers and tubs.
Sweep porches and patios.
Clean doormats.

Spring bucket list ideas for couples

Go for a scenic romantic walk. This could be a walk in the park, a walk by the waterfront or a pond, or downtown!

Do fun kid-like activities like play with chalk, blow bubbles, jump rope!

Plan summer travels. Always good to think ahead, especially when it comes to booking plane tickets and hotels! Check out my summer activities for adults to get planning!
Grab rooftop drinks.

Things to do in the spring with friends

Have a BBQ. If you or one of your friends owns a grill, great! If not, you can always go to the park and find a grill!
Play lawn games.
Have a spring photoshoot. Get all done up, pick cute outfits, the most aesthetic location, and make it a vibe!

Treat yourselves to a spa day.
