New ways to spice up your girls’ night out

Coming up with ways to add excitement to your girls’ night out can be a chore, and it’s easy to fall back on the same ideas time and time again. While getting together at your favourite bar for a few drinks might always be fun, it’s worth mixing up your routine to make girls’ night something special. After all, if you’ve spent all that time dolling yourself up and getting ready, you should be showing it off to more than the same old bar crowd each week.

We know how important time with your best girlfriends is, so we’ve done the hard work for you and found some new ways you can spend your nights with your best friends.

1. Hit The Lanes

It might be a bit of a throwback to your youth, but bowling is a seriously fun way to spend your Friday night. Plenty of alleys offer adult-only lanes after eight o’clock, complete with your favourite drinks and the best foods from your childhoods. Gone are the days of the bowling alley being daggy or uncool – heading out to your local alley is a great way to let your hair down, have a bit of fun, and reconnect with your younger self.

2. Head To The Aquarium

This one might come as a bit of a surprise and certainly is a less thrifty option, but it’s sure to give you a night to remember. Melbourne Aquarium offers monthly events at night where you can get dolled up and spend your evening seeing all of the sea life the aquarium has to offer whilst enjoying great canapés and drinks. If you’re looking to add some more class to your girls’ night out or just want an excuse to go that extra mile when you’re getting ready, then this is a great option for you.

3. Get Cooking

Though whipping up dinner might not be something you want to do on your night off, getting a group of girlfriends together and spending the night learning to cook something new and exciting is always a lot of fun. Every city has a range of cooking classes on offer, and if you go to a nightly one, wine is almost always guaranteed in the class price. As an added bonus, not only do you get to hone your kitchen skills, you also get to reap the reward of eating whatever you prepared with your best friends.
