It’s safe to say we’re all due for a girls trip with our besties. And the sky’s the limit when it comes to planning activities for a girls trip.
If it’s been a while since your group has gathered, you may want to consider a few indoor activities during the trip to make sure you get some quality time together and give everyone an opportunity to bond over girl talk.
And if you’re anything like me, the second best part of going on a girls trip is planning all the fun things to do, so let’s get into a few indoor activities for a girls trip that you can share with your gals!
Spa Day
It’s always a good time for self-care with your girlfriends. What’s great about having a day dedicated to spa treatments is that you can customize the experience to be as simple or extravagant as you wish.
Bonding with your babes while getting mani/pedis, doing each other’s hair, and a special day of relaxing will guarantee high quality mems and give everyone a moment to just vibe during this vacation.
If you’re having a more cozy getaway tucked away from town, here are some things to pack in your luggage for an at-home DIY spa day:
- Sheet masks
- Under eye patches
- Press on nails
- Hair masks
- Lip masks
- Body butter
- Nail polish
- Pumice stone
- Sugar body scrub
- Fuzzy robes
- Slippers
On the other hand, if you’re preparing for a more luxe getaway with your friends and have the budget to book a day at a local spa or wellness center, it’s absolutely worth the price tag. Most spas welcome guests with a full day of access to various accommodations, including jacuzzis, steam rooms, saunas, and often include a bit of bubbly with lunch.
Board Party
This foodie trend has been taking our feeds by storm. If you haven’t heard of a board party before, this hands-on indoor activity encourages everyone to prepare a specially curated food board. Inspired by the concept of a charcuterie board, you and your girls will get a chance to express your love for each other through food and feast together while doing this.
Feel free to show your style! Having seen boards themed by color, flavor, one food item and even a McDonald’s board… there’s really unlimited possibilities. Here’s a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
- Butter board
- Taco board
- French fry board
- Cookie board
This would make for an awesome activity to do on the first night of the girls trip to kick off the stay, and give you and your girls a moment to set the tone for the trip and talk over any last minute plans while sharing some yummy snacks.
Wine Tasting
If you ask me, you can literally never go wrong with wine tasting. It’s also a relatively simple activity to organize since most wineries let groups schedule visits ahead of time.
Depending on how hands-on you want to be with planning, and the amount of time you want to commit to this activity, you can opt to work with a local tour company to schedule a day full of tastings at multiple wineries with a driver or hop around with your girls as you please.
So, if a simple but chic activity is of interest, make sure to add this to your girls trip itinerary. Or you could even schedule a wine weekend dedicated to this activity alone, making for one of the most effortlessly fun things to do with the girls without any heavy planning involved.
Powerpoint Party
We’ll be the first to admit that this indoor activity is not for everyone, but if your group is up for something different, give a powerpoint party a shot.
How these work is that first a general girls trip theme for the party is selected. For example “everyone as a Disney princess,” “when we peaked,” or even “describing our group as brunch items.” Then each person creates a powerpoint presentation before the trip with their answers and gives detailed descriptions while you gather for the party.
This is a very interactive and playful activity that’s bound to get some laughs. And if your group is up to adding alcohol to this, you can turn it into a drinking game by having everyone drink any time the presenter says the words “um” or “like” in between thoughts.
Co-Crafting
Whether your latest hobby is paint by numbers, knitting, or clay making, dedicating some time to play with your girls gives everyone a chance to do an activity they each like, and share it with the group. Cooperative play gives everyone a sense of joy knowing that they’re individually working on a project they enjoy, but still doing something together.
Consider gathering supplies to make dream catchers while hanging at your girls trip stay or booking a pottery class as some additional creative activities everyone could do together.
Cooking Class
Food is love, and nothing brings your crew together quite like getting hands-on in the kitchen. Booking a group cooking class for your girls trip is the ultimate way to combine laughs, learning, and a seriously satisfying meal all in one sitting. Whether you're mastering homemade pasta, rolling sushi, or whipping up gourmet desserts, most cooking studios welcome private group bookings so you and your gals can take over the kitchen without any distractions.
Escape Room Challenge
Think your squad can crack the code? Put your collective brainpower to the test with a themed escape room experience! This is one of those indoor activities for a girls trip that delivers big on excitement and even bigger on bonding. Nothing says friendship like panicking together while trying to decode a mystery before the clock runs out.
Most escape room venues offer a variety of themes ranging from cozy mystery to full-on adventure, so there's something to match every group's vibe. Book a private room for just your crew and watch who really shines under pressure. Spoiler: it's always the one you least expected.
High Tea Experience
Bring a little elegance to your girls getaway with an afternoon high tea service. We're talking tiered trays of finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream, and delicate pastries all served with an impressive spread of teas (and maybe a mimosa or two, because why not?). It's the perfect mix of fancy and fun, and makes for some absolutely stunning photo moments.
Many boutique hotels, tea rooms, and upscale restaurants offer reservations for group high tea experiences, often with the option to customize your spread. Dress up, bring your best hats, and lean fully into the occasion!
Karaoke Night
If your girl’s trip needs a serious energy boost, look no further than a private karaoke room. This is the indoor activity that separates the good trips from the legendary ones. Rent out a private suite, queue up your favorite throwbacks and guilty pleasures, and sing your hearts out without a single stranger judging your performance (unless you count each other).
Many karaoke venues offer food and cocktail service right in the room, so you won't have to pause the party for a second. Pro move: put together a shared playlist beforehand so every member of the squad has their moment in the spotlight. Trust us, by the time the night is over, you'll already be planning the sequel. Karaoke night is one of those fun activities for a ladies day out that somehow gets better every single time.
Let’s Go Girls!
There are so many directions that you can go with a girls trip, but what’s most important is spending quality time with the people you love. If gathering supplies for an at home spa night is too much for the occasion, maybe a day trip to a local winery will satisfy. If you weren't sure how to plan a girls trip to include some indoor girly activities, we hope these ideas made it easier for you!
