Top 5 Picnic Activities for Adults

As you get older, you may think that going on a picnic is simply about getting out to enjoy the beautiful warm weather combined with eating fresh, seasonal produce that is only available during this wonderful time of year. Or maybe picnicking is more for the benefit of your children. However, as an adult, you can still have a lot of fun when you go out on a picnic with a variety of things to keep you busy while enjoying the wonderful weather and food. Here are the top 5 adult picnic activities to get your mind working for your next outing, while the weather lasts.

Croquet is a delightfully fun game that can be set up just about anywhere. With an endless variety of courses available to host, you’ll never get tired of the game’s variability and changing terrain, which can add a bit of excitement to the same course staged in different locations. With a low impact on your body, this game is ideal to pass the hours without rushing or sweating. Best of all, most of the kits in this set are easily transportable and conveniently store in your car with little effort.

Frisbee is no longer just passing the puck. With games like Ultimate Frisbee and Frisbee Golf, there are plenty of games to play with this simple piece of equipment. Ultimate Frisbee is played much like basketball mixed with football, except of course there are no tackles. Players deliver the puck to reach the goal at the end of the field. Exciting and safe, it is an easy game to play. Similarly to Frisbee golf, in this simple game you select holes from random objects and try to hit them with the disc.

Badminton is a classic game that takes a bit more equipment, but it is well worth the effort. Easy to set up, the net and paddles are light and easy to move. The game is fast paced, but much less intense than similar games like tennis. This game will still help you whet your appetite and get your blood pumping with fun.

Wine and cheese tasting is a fun and exciting way to explore culinary and get outdoors. Sharing with others and talking about your impressions of food and drink is a great way to bond over an outing and the excitement of discovering new flavors. Turning it into an event, instead of just having wine or cheese, can be very entertaining and engaging.
