Here are some ideas for an awesome Girl’s Trip to Springfield.

Shop for local produce or even a bouquet of wildflowers at the Old Capitol Farmers Market. While walking from booth to booth, enjoy a cup of fresh brewed coffee or some breakfast at one of the vendors. How about the evening Moonlight Market every 1st and 3rd Wednesday, May - September, where you will find unique craft, art and locally made products. 

Enjoy an appetizer or glass of craft beer in the Obed & Isaac's outdoor Bocce Beer Garden. Click for Breweries

How about Coffee and breakfast at one of our local spots. Three Twigs Bakery, Café Moxo, or Incredibly Delicious are just a few options in Springfield for some great morning grub!

Nothing's better than a relaxing spa visit to kick start or wrap up your day – Check out Spavia, BJ Grand Salon & Spa or MassageLUXE for several relaxing options. 

Time to Shop, man, things just keep getting better & better! We have so many awesome local boutique shops, here’s a few, Eye Candy Boutique, District 23, Gypsy Soul, and several artist co-ops in Historic Downtown Springfield. If you're looking for a little retail therapy, check out White Oaks Mall – A Simon Mall or SCHEELS. For more shops, click here.

Take a short trip, outside of Springfield, and enjoy lunch at a quaint café called Morning Star Café, and then take a stroll through Lincoln’s New Salem. Afterwards head out for a glass of wine at one of our amazing wineries! Click for Wineries

How about a picnic at the park – Grab a box lunch from a café and head out to Washington Park. Find that perfect shady spot, relax and enjoy!

Stop & smell the flowers at Washington Park Botanical Gardens – or wander the trails at Lincoln Memorial Gardens next to Lake Springfield.

Are you a sun seeker? How about a cruise around Lake Springfield on a boat or Jet Ski rental from Lake Springfield Marina.

Take a historical tour of incredible Springfield homes including the Dana-Thomas House – A Frank Lloyd Wright Design, Lincoln Home, Elijah Iles House and Edwards Place. Click here for a full list of our sites.
