Girls just want to have fun! Cyndi Lauper has never have spoke truer words. Here is how you and your girlfriends should spend a girls staycation in Toronto to ensure a great time…
Take Me Out To The Ball Game
Baseball fan or not, heading out to the Roger’s Centre to watch a Blue Jays game is an exciting outing for your group of girlfriends on a weekend afternoon or weekday evening. And can be a less costly activity- depending on where you sit, of course. If you’re there more for the experience, hot dogs and popcorn, then why not get tickets in the ‘nosebleed’ section which can be as low as $15 each depending on who the Jays are playing against. It also provides the perfect opportunity for a group photo-shoot that you can share on social media so everyone knows how you’re spending your girls staycation in Toronto!
Picasso for a Nite
Paint Nite has become a hugely popular activity around the city and is perfect for a girls staycation in Toronto. How does it work? You can choose which location to go to based on several factors (where it is, what you’ll be painting, etc.), you get a canvas, brushes and paint when you arrive and then let the games begin! The teacher will tell you what to do throughout the whole process so don’t be discouraged if you don’t pride yourself on your artistic abilities. There are classes ranging in skill levels but even if you you don’t have an artsy bone in your body, we promise that you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the final product. We forgot to mention the most important part… These Paint Nites are typically hosted at bars or restaurants so there will be wine!!
There’s a Wine For That…
Speaking of wine… The city is known for having an array of unique wine bars which can be a great excursion for your girls staycation in Toronto as it combines delicious eats and wine! Although this may fall on the pricier side of the spectrum, wine bars typically provide a vibrant atmosphere perfect for catching up with each other while sharing some dishes and bottles of your favourite wines.
