If you and your significant other love nothing more than quiet nights in or doing things away from crowds, this list is for you.

There are many fun activities here you can enjoy if you don’t like going out to crowded places. Most can be done at home, but I’ve also included some places you could go if you wanted to get out of the house.

At-Home

There’s plenty of ideas here for creative nights, relaxing nights, and interesting activities you and your significant other can do.

• Have a scrapbooking evening.
• Have a Lego or model-building night.
• Try an at-home escape room kit.
• Create your own comic book strip.
• Dance in your pajamas.
• Take personality tests & quizzes online.
• Start an indoor herb garden.
• Create a time capsule.
• Bake together.
• Organize a fun photoshoot with props.
• Make an at-home indoor mini-gold course.
• Have a board game marathon.
• Take an online museum or travel tour.
• Have a takeout and TV show night.
• Listen to a livestream concert.
• Mix music together.
• Have an at-home paint and sip night.
• Take an online course.
• Have a DIY sushi rolling evening.
• Create a vision board.

More Staying-In Ideas

The fun at home hasn’t stopped just yet! Here’s some more ideas.

• Watch documentaries and trivia shows.
• Have a DIY craft night.
• Have an at-home spa night.
• Have a challenging puzzle evening.
• Have a retro video games night.
• Play question games.
• Take a calligraphy course.
• Stay up and stargaze with a telescope.
• Have a projector movie marathon.
• Have an indoor picnic.

Going Somewhere

Naturally, you’ll need to do a little research first before some of these ideas. What I’ve done is selected places you could go at times when they’re quieter, or places that don’t typically attract big crowds. Aquariums, for example, despite being open to the public, I find to be some of the most relaxing places to visit.

• Go for a beach stroll at sunset.
• Watch a drive-in movie.
• Go to an observatory deck.
• Go on a ghost tour.
• Visit an aquarium.
• Go for a riverside or lakeside walk.
• Rent an RV and go for a road trip.
• Listen to vinyls at a record store.
• Watch an off-peak movie.
• Stay in a cozy cabin for the weekend.

You can get this list in PDF format here. Tick off the ones you’ve done, and make a note of the activities you really enjoyed so that you can do them again.

I really hope this list helps you out. So many after-work and weekend plans are formed around doing activities where there’s lots of noise, people, and other distractions. With this list, you can keep things calm, in your control, and still have lots of fun.
