It’s the ultimate way to combine your love for both your friends and your pets. Take a Cooking Class at Sur la Table

Get cooking with your girls at Sur la Table. They offer hands-on cooking classes where you can learn to prepare a delicious meal together. Whether you're making sushi, pasta, or a sweet dessert, you’ll leave with new skills and delicious food to enjoy.

DIY Craft Night: Get Creative Together

If you’re feeling crafty, why not host a DIY Galentine’s craft night with your friends? Gather some supplies and get creative with projects like custom Galentine’s Day cards, friendship bracelets, or personalized wine glasses. For a more adventurous project, try making your own scented candles at Penn & Beech or unique pieces of pottery at Yellow Door Ceramic Studio. It’s a great way to bond, and you’ll have meaningful keepsakes to remember the day by!

Pamper Yourselves with a Spa Day at the Conrad

Nothing says “self-care” like a luxurious spa day. Treat yourself and your girls to a pampering experience at the Conrad Indianapolis Spa. Indulge in massages, facials, and other relaxing treatments while catching up with each other in a serene and tranquil environment. If you’re looking for a full-on relaxation experience, the spa offers packages that combine multiple treatments for the ultimate Galentine’s Day indulgence!

Wine Tasting at Local Wineries

For a classy yet fun experience, why not plan a Galentine’s Day wine tasting at one of the many local wineries in Indy? Enjoy an afternoon sampling delicious wines while you chat and laugh with your friends. A few great options to consider are Oliver Winery, Urban Vines, or Daniel's Vineyard. They often offer guided tastings where you can learn about different varietals and explore new flavors together!

Create Your Own Galentine’s Day Scavenger Hunt

For a more interactive and adventurous day, organize a Galentine’s Day scavenger hunt around the city! Create clues and challenges that lead your group to local landmarks, hidden gems, or your favorite spots in Indy. Make it even more fun by adding tasks like taking group photos or picking up small tokens of appreciation from local businesses. It’s a great way to get out and explore your city while celebrating friendship.

Cook and Dine Together

Instead of going out to eat, why not stay in and cook a meal together? Host a Galentine’s Day dinner party where everyone contributes a dish. You can choose a fun theme—like “fondue night” or “taco bar” where everyone builds their own tacos with toppings. It’s a laid-back, fun way to celebrate and enjoy each other’s company. Explore a Local Art Gallery or Museum

For a more cultural Galentine’s experience, check out the exhibits at Newfields or visit one of Indy’s local galleries, like The Indy Art Center. You and your friends can enjoy art, creativity, and meaningful conversations as you explore exhibits together!

No matter how you choose to celebrate, Galentine’s Day is all about appreciating the friendships that make life sweeter. From brunches and spa days to creative crafts and wine tastings, Indianapolis offers so many fun ways to show your girlfriends how much you care. So gather your besties from BFF Indy, mark the calendar, and make this Galentine’s Day one for the books!
