Round up your besties, it’s time for a girls’ day that hits all the right vibes! Chase scenic views, indulge in local eats, and simply soak up quality time with your favorite people in Ames.
Morning
Start your morning with a refreshing hot girl walk at the scenic Ada Hayden Heritage Park. With peaceful trails, sparkling water views, and plenty of spots for selfies. It’s the perfect way to get up and catch up.
After your stroll, treat yourself to a well-deserved coffee break at Provisions Lot F. Trust us, you need to try their chocolate croissants. Flaky, rich, and totally worth the hype, and will keep you coming back.
Afternoon
Grab some lunch at one of Ames’ most beloved spots, Aunt Maude’s. With cozy vibes and a menu full of crave worthy favorites, it’s the perfect place to refuel and catch up.
Once you’re recharged, it’s time to shop the afternoon away! Head over to Downtown Ames for some seriously cute boutiques and local gems. Find your next vacation outfit at b.e.good Boutique or stop by Oak Lane Candle Co where you can custom pour your own candle. Create a scent with your besties that reminds you of your beautiful friendship!
If you’re planning your girl’s day on a Saturday, don’t miss the Ames Main Street Farmers’ Market. Find fresh produce, beautiful blooms, and unique handmade gifts, perfect for bringing a little something home to the family (or for yourself.)
After all that retail therapy, it’s time to treat yourself. Schedule a mani-pedi session at Pro Nails & Spa where the color options are endless, and the styles are always on point.
Night
Start with appetizers and drinks on the patio at Sweet Carolines. Their famous Buffalo Chicken Dip is an absolute must and perfect for sharing. Pair it with a refreshing raspberry limoncello martini and kick back while catching the game on the big screen.
When you’re ready to switch gears and wind down, head over to Prairie Moon Winery. Sip on local wines, soak in the summer breeze, and enjoy the sounds of live music under the stars.
Don’t let the fun stop there! Time Out has it all: arcade, bar, and karaoke that’ll have you belting out your favorite throwbacks! Step into a neon-lit 80’s dream where every corner brings a new surprise. This is the ultimate spot to keep the girls laughing and smiling all night.
