Spending time with friends can be tricky during adulthood as schedules may vary. However, when a friend group does manage to come together, they will want to do something fun and engaging. They could spend time going to a restaurant to catch up, but why not change it and try something more unique?
The following is a list of fun and memorable activities with friends.
1. Game Nights
Game nights range from classic board games to local couch co-op video games. The goal of a game night is to unwind and have friends compete against each other or in teams. One can never go wrong with UNO or a Lego video game, but it’s always nice to have variety on a game night.
2. Movie Nights
A great activity to do with friends is a movie night. Watching a childhood movie, like a Pixar movie, can feel euphoric and fun, especially with friends. Having a movie night during holidays such as Halloween can inspire movie choices for October. Movie night is a perfect opportunity to recommend a movie to friends or enjoy watching a brand-new movie together.
3. Cooking or Baking Together
Gather friends to make sweets or a new dish everyone helps prepare. Cooking with friends can be a fantastic way to learn how to create a new dish. It can become regular, making the perfect excuse to revisit a friend’s house.
4. Karaoke Night
Whether in a club or at home, karaoke can be a fun, funny, uplifting, and exhilarating experience. Parody, rap, solos, duets, Disney, and all other genres are on the table regarding karaoke. It’s all about having a good time with friends.
5. Planning Getaways
Traveling doesn’t need to be an international trip. A friend group can visit the nearest national park, landmark, or festival. Booking a house rather than a hotel can help keep the excitement going. Services like Airbnb have affordable prices and can be split between friend groups. Which, as a result, makes traveling expenses more manageable.
6. Rock Climbing
Rock climbing is a physically demanding activity. Friend groups can test their physical limitations while experiencing something new and unique. Some walls and obstacles can be overcome with friends. Ultimately, it can be a rewarding and thrilling experience.
7. Roller Skating
Roller skating can be a first-time experience for many, but it is still a fun time. Some may slip while roller skating, but learning to balance while teasing friends is appealing. Moving fast with the wind brushing through one’s body is rarely experienced with friends.
8. Visiting a Museum or Zoo
Visiting the zoo could have been years ago to some. Revisiting the zoo can feel like a shared nostalgic trip. It is a perfect excuse to see wild animals, exhibits of famous artworks, and enjoy the beauties of wildlife.
9. Bowling
Bowling is an activity where skill is not needed to enjoy it. It’s the perfect activity to allow groups to unwind while being competitive. Bowling alleys even offer food and drinks to enjoy during a bowling trip, so it’s worth every penny.
10. Escape Rooms
Escape rooms invite friend groups to solve puzzles and riddles that test a group’s teamwork and intellect. Many escape rooms have themes like horror or western, allowing it to be an immersive experience. Ultimately, activities like these should encourage teamwork and fun with friends.
