39 Memorable Girls Day Activities

Hey girl, today let’s chat about the best girls day activities that are oh so memorable.

There is no time like girl time and to make the most of that time here are amazing girls day activities that will have you saying "Remember the time when" for years to come.

As a busy mom of 4, I can’t get enough of hanging with my girls.  It is like free therapy!  But we always like to spice up the girls day activities that we try.

I don't know about you and your friends but we get bored doing the same girls day activities over and over again.

From cheap to luxe, there are so many incredibly fun girls day activities to fit anyone’s budget.

Let’s get into it girl and discover the best girls day activities that are sure to be a blast.

1. Grab a Cup of Coffee

Start your girls day off right by grabbing a cup of coffee with your girls.  You can take it to go so you can keep moving and make the most of your day.

2. Eat Out

Of course, you have to plan to eat some delicious food.  You can’t go the whole day with your girls without refueling!

Try to pick somewhere new.

3. Get Your Nails Done

Have your nails done together.

About 4 times a year, one of my girlfriends and I do this and we talk the entire time.  And get beautiful nails out of it.

4. Spa Day

I know, the spa can get spendy but it is also so relaxing.  

Just a quick note, you probably won’t get to spend as much time as you want to with your girlfriends at the spa.

5. Visit a Festival or Fair

Spend the day walking around a fun festival or fair.  This will be a memorable day for sure.

6. Winery Tour

There is something so gorgeous and peaceful about visiting a vineyard.

I am not the biggest wine drinker but love going along with friends.

If you are like me, get the sampler option.  You will be able to try a variety.

7. Yoga

Um did someone say yoga?  Yes, please.  I recently tried hot yoga and I felt so amazing afterward that I am hooked.

And you know who I went with?  You guessed it, one of my girlfriends.

8. Volunteer

Find a cause that you believe in and volunteer for it.

9. Go Biking

Hit up a bike trail.  It is great exercise.

10. Go Hiking

You can take a walk around town or find lots of different hiking trails nearby.  It is great exercise and gets you outdoors.

Walk and talk girl, walk and talk.

It also helps burn off all those calories you consumed eating out!

11. Axe Throwing

My boys got this axe throwing game (it is all made of plastic so it is completely safe) and it is so much fun.

That got me thinking my friends and I should try axe throwing for real.  It is a little intimidating at first since you are using a real axe but you will get used to it in no time.

12. Rock Climbing

Whether you are an experienced rock climber and take your friends outdoors or just a beginner and hit up a rock wall, you have to give rock climbing a try.

It is a total body workout.

13. Archery

We tried this and it surprised me how much we all liked it.

It is very soothing and exhilarating when your arrow hits near the center of the target.

14. Dance Lessons

Dancing is an amazing form of exercise.  But it is way more fun, and you don't feel as embarrassed when you can learn it with friends.

15. Horseback Riding

There are stables all over that offer trail rides.  It is a completely different way to get out and enjoy nature with your girls.

16. 4 Wheeling/Side by Sides

Spending the day 4 wheeling or riding side-by-sides with friends is a blast.  Take a trip through the countryside and hit up a fun restaurant or 2.

17. Explore Caves

Have you ever been in a cave?  Wow, they are so fascinating to me.

I am sure there are caves near you and you don’t even know it.  Check it out.

Oh yeah, bring a sweatshirt because it is cool down there.

18. Ice Skating

Check out a nearby college to see if they have open ice skating. 

This is something that is nearby me and I can rent the skates for $3.

19. DIY Arts and Crafts

Try something new like pottery or painting with an instructor.  You will be surprised how well you can be at art when you have an instructor there with you.

20. Broadway Show

There is nothing like seeing a show in person.  If you haven’t tried this one yet, I highly recommend it.

The best live show I have ever seen was Singing in the Rain with my sisters and my daughter.  Amazing!

21. See a Movie

Are there any good movies in the theater right now? 

The best part about movie theaters is you can probably wear lounge pants and even bring a blanket and no one will care.  Be comfy!

What are your favorite treats to get at the movie theater?  I can never pass up an ICEE!

22. Cooking Class

Bust out of your cooking rut by taking a cooking class.  It is like going out to eat and doing an activity together at the same time.

23. Antiquing

I have a few sisters who are nuts about antiquing.  They are always looking for stuff but I just like looking at all the stuff.

24. Shopping

Going shopping is so different than going antiquing.  

Shopping is going for clothes, shoes, home décor, and other new things instead of new to you things.

25. Casino

I am not much of a gambler but I will go along.  Some of my girlfriends have the best time when we go, even though they only play slot machines.

26. Concert

Professional singers, symphonies, pianists, and more.  There are so many different kinds of concerts to attend.

27. Bowling

Bowling, food, and drinks are a great way to spend an afternoon.

28. Board Games

Stay in and play board games or cards.  This is a great way to spend time with each other and not spend a bunch of money.

Ask all your friends to bring a different appetizer or dish to pass and drinks.

My favorite games to play with my friends include Pictionary, Catch Phrase, and Ticket to Ride.

Scrabble also makes an appearance from time to time.

29. Karaoke

Grab supper and then hit up somewhere that has karaoke.  After a drink or 2, everyone will want to join in.

30. Escape Room

My son just did an escape room with his friends and he is raving about it.  I know my friends and I would have a blast with this.

31. Scavenger Hunt

Put together a photo proof scavenger hunt.  They are a blast. 

My sister and I created a scavenger hunt when we went out for another sister’s bachelorette party and it was such a hit that everyone went through the list twice.

Going through the photos after is a hoot.

My scrapbooking is all done on Snapfish.

We did a murder mystery party at my sister’s bachelorette party and at Christmas one year.  Everyone was such a good sport about participating and dressing the part.

Girl, this is totally not my vibe but I had fun playing along.
