Thinking about coming to Green Bay for Valentine’s Day with your best friend or a whole group of gal pals? We love that idea! Valentine’s Day can be romantic, sure, but it can also be a really great excuse to celebrate anyone (and everyone) in your life who shows up for you, laughs with you, and makes your life sweeter all year long.
Here’s a list of some of our favorite ideas for your Green Bay Galentine’s Extravaganza. Do one, some, or all of these ideas!
Dirt Juicery
Start your morning with something fresh and fruity at Dirt Juicery. Try the Pina "Kale" Ada smoothie or the Pomegranate Toast, which is exclusive to their winter menu. This is the perfect spot to hit up with the girls because not only are the vibes perfect, but you’ll also feel so energized to tackle the rest of your exciting Galentine’s Day plans!
LUX Spa
If you and your friends love to be pampered, LUX Spa should be your next stop. Treat yourselves to a refreshing facial, lash lift, or brow shaping session to feel your best. Their spa menu also includes things like hydrating treatments and soothing massages that make it easy to unwind and connect with your besties!
Weld + Arrow
Matching permanent jewelry at Weld + Arrow is basically a Galentine’s Day rite of passage. Pick your chains, get linked, and leave with the cutest keepsake! Bonus points for it being permanent, because you’ll actually wear it long after the trip. It’s quick, fun, and a great way to commemorate your special day in Green Bay.
ZuLou
Time for a little shopping! ZuLou is one of those boutiques you walk into “just to look” and then leave with a bag full of new favorites. Clothes, accessories, home pieces, little gifts… it’s perfect for browsing with friends and hyping each other up in the fitting room. Everything feels trendy but still super wearable. You’ll definitely find something you didn’t know you needed!
The Cupcake Couture
Need a little afternoon sweet treat? Cupcake Couture’s monthly specials for February are so spot on. For instance, they have a Chocolate Covered Cherry on Wednesdays, a Red Velvet Cheesecake on Fridays, and a “Fireball” on Saturdays. That’s cinnamon cake dipped in Fireball, frosted with Fireball buttercream frosting, and topped with red hots.
Mona Rose Winery
Wine tasting for Galentine’s Day? Yes, please! Mona Rose is a great place to hang out and try a few house-made pours. If you’re visiting on Valentine’s Day, they’re hosting a live poetry night with performances from James Hamilton, Shane Train, and Pamela Walsh, plus an open mic if you feel like jumping in! It might be a fun activity for your girl group!
Wissota Chophouse
You don’t need a date to go out for a nice steak dinner. Make a reservation for you and your friends at Wissota Chophouse in De Pere! Great food, great cocktails, and the perfect excuse to dress up a little. It’s a fun way to celebrate and toast to friendship. Be sure to save room for a Raspberry Tiramisu for dessert and maybe a Grasshopper Martini.
Legacy Hotel
If you need a place to stay, we recommend the Legacy Hotel. Not only do they have a great Galentine’s Day spa special, but they also have a special one-night room package that includes $100 for dining or the spa, a bottle of champagne, and chocolate-covered strawberries. Imagine how much fun you’ll have sharing that with your friends as you laugh the night away!
