AZ Girl’s Night Guide
Those of you who know me well, know I am a ride or die girl gang member. Every aspect of life is better when you have your female support system!
So because girls rule and boys drool— here is an activity list to put on your bucket list with your girlfriends!
You may notice a lot of the same activities across the date night guide as well, but let’s be honest, they’re all probably so much more fun to do with your besties than they could ever be with a boy!! (;
Sip & Paint at Wine Girl
Probably an activity at least one girlfriend has mentioned wanting to do in the past— Wine Girl hosts a sip and paint class that is pretty much exactly what it sounds like lol.
Ziggy’s
This pizza place has an underground speakeasy disco setting that you and the gals can go full on Abba “Dancing Queen” to.
Montauk
While technically a restaurant and seated bar, this place is always hopping and loud AF. But get yourselves the Martini tree because why not!
Puttshack
This place is freaking FUN! Sorry if that offends those who actually enjoy legitimate golf, Top Golf, or CrackerJax Putt Putt— but I don’t. And I won’t go so far as to say I was good, but I certainly wasn’t terrible, lol.
Anyway, there are additional fun challenges like “Supertubes” and “Hazards,” as well as fun trivia and and themed courses! There are about 4 different courses, each with their own unique setups— some include bowling alleys, beer pong, pool, and air hockey. All so unique and clever! It’s a Smart golf experience as your assigned golf ball tracks your shots and relays your scores on the monitors found around the room!
BATL Axe Throwing
Exactly as it sounds— this activity nvolves an axe, and throwing… Grab some beers and an axe and start chucking it at the wall, lol. It’s a great time, and surely to ignite some laughter.
Simply Smashing Rage Room
Occasionally described as tiny but mighty, this place was made for a bottled up emotional people pleaser such as myself. Come here and grab a bat, or a sledgehammer, and just start beating the sh*t out of old TV’s and toilets. Break some beer bottles, smash some plates… Feels good to let a little rage out in a safe and supportive environment that does not require cleanup after the fact, lol.
Century Grand
This place has several themed bar options, and while it is still just a seated bar experience, the themes and attention to detail are fantastic. Service was beyond incredible, and such a fun and interesting approach to your typical drinks-at-the-bar.
Spin Art Nation Phoenix
A paint studio that makes it easy for anyone to create their own personal art. It’s easy, stimulating, and lots of fun! Each spin art session is designed for up to 2 artists where you’ll be making your artwork together and taking turns. They have options in cycling spin art, standing spin art, and a splatter room! They do currently sell soft drinks and snacks but are working on getting their alcohol license.
Bowling at Bowlero
Another one that probably does not require much explaining— get your drinks and snacks and toss a ball down an alley at some pins.
Dave & Buster’s Arcade
There are a few options out there, and if you are specifically wanting to do an arcade, then I recommend searching for some in the area! I mention Dave & Buster’s because I have personally been many times and I always have such a blast. They also have a bowling alley and food and drinks offeres throughout the facility!
Horseback Riding
I have done this so many times now— it’s a great activity to take your date, friends, and out-of-state visitors out in the AZ deseert without having to hike in it. Ew. Anyway, I like it also because it’s right by where I live, and nothing is by where I live so I am also more biased towards certain activities than others based purely on how far my drive is, lol. Don’t worry about having never done anything like it before— the horses are well trained, and your guide will be with you the whole trail!
Sporting Event
Need I say more? Check out your local sports team game schedules— baseball, basketball, hockey, etc. etc.
As You Wish Pottery Painting
Pretty safe bet whether you are artistic or not, I always enjoy my time here as you grab your pottery, your paints, and a table and just take your time painting and talking.
TuTu Together Tufting & Crafts
Similar to the above creative activity, this is a crafts place primarily focused on rug making, where you can choose your own design and yarns and tuft your very own rug! Additionally they have other crafts like pouring art and decoden!
Musuem of Illusions
Alright so I actually did this one in NYC and with my sister, lol. But we had honestly such a blast! It’s a fun, trippy, instagrammable experience where we got some great photos and laughs in!
BL Lagoon Day Spa
Get yourselves a day pass for the perfect combination of Halotherapy and Hydrotherapy. Indulge in the Scandinavian bath, Ice bath, steam sauna, dry sauna, and meditation room in the all inclusive Lagoon!
Fountain Hills Park
Lat but not least, this park makes me feel things. I have been coming here since I was a kid. Park yourself under a tree with a blanket, picnic, wine, and maybe some crafting supplies or a good book. Maybe bring a speaker and play some music while tossing a frisbee, or taking a little cat nap. The fountain goes off every hour on the hour, and is one of the the world’s highest fountains!
