Exposure to the natural environment may benefit individuals' mental health, but quantitative evidence for older adults is limited. We used Experience Sampling Method to collect 2,774 reports on daily experiences from 200 adults aged 65 and above living in Poland. Multilevel mixed effects logistic regression models examined the association between individuals' location and their self-reported stress and enjoyment. Being in green and blue spaces was associated with significantly lower odds of experiencing stress and significantly higher odds of experiencing enjoyment net of other individual-level and situational factors. Accessible green and blue spaces may help improve older adults' psychological wellbeing
