The most fun activities during your friends' weekend

🌟 With Finds by Mino, we're constantly searching for the most fun outings and activities so you don't have to. Are you planning to go away for a weekend with your friends soon? Then this section is ideal for getting inspiration!

🎉 A friends weekend is the moment to spend time together, try new activities and have fun. We've compiled an extensive list for you with activities that perfectly fit your friends weekend. These activities are divided into packages that can be booked and activities that you can organize yourself.

Activities where everything is arranged for you

🎉 For your friends weekend, it's perfect to book a few activities in advance, so they're already set in your schedule. We've put together three fun activities for you:

Escape room with dinner

Book an escape room where you have to solve puzzles and crack codes together to escape within one hour. An activity where your group of friends needs to work well together to find a solution. Afterwards, you can enjoy a set dinner on location. Ready for another activity? Often there are plenty of other fun activities at the location where the escape room is situated. This package provides an exciting activity and a cozy dinner.

Outdoor adventure

☀️ This is the ideal activity if you're going on a friends weekend in the summer.

Choose an outdoor location where various activities can be done, such as archery, zip-lining, a climbing course or canoeing.

Often you choose to make a circuit out of this and add a competition element to it. The venue provides guidance and all necessary materials.

🍖 The day is usually wrapped up with a cozy barbecue on location.

Beer tasting with brewery tour

🍺 Visit a local brewery where you can enjoy a tasting of different types of beer. A tour through the brewery gives insight into how these local beers are made. The afternoon is often supplemented with snacks that pair well with the beers. Take a look at the best beer breweries in the Netherlands. A tip from us is to book in time, as local beer tastings are very popular.

Activities you can organize yourself

📝 Besides those activities that are completely taken care of for you, it's also always fun to plan the evening yourself. We've listed a few activities below that shouldn't be missing from your friends' weekend:

Pub Quiz

Cocktail Workshop at Home

🌟 Make sure you have all the essentials like shakers, ingredients and glasses at home. Choose a few recipes and let everyone make their own cocktails. Go for simple cocktails and take turns being the bartender and the taster. Make some delicious snacks to go with it and finish it off with fun music.

Game Night

🏞️ Collect board games, card games and quiz games from all your friends, because an evening of playing games never disappoints. Organize a tournament where you make teams and keep track of points. Make sure there's enough space on the table and set up a playing schedule. A tip from us is to keep a clock handy, so all games can be played.

Sports Tournament on Location

🏁 When you're at a location with lots of greenery around you, organize a tournament with sports like football, volleyball and frisbee. Make sure there's enough space and bring all the necessary equipment with you. Put together teams and keep score. Arrange for a fun prize at the end so everyone puts in their full effort to win.

Outdoor movie night

🌟 Use a projector with a white sheet or large screen to watch movies in the garden. Create a playlist with movies everyone wants to see. Make sure you have chairs, blankets and a table with snacks and drinks. Make sure to check the equipment beforehand, so everything works when you want to start.

Tips for a successful friends' weekend

• Make a plan in advance that includes activities and rest moments, so you can get the maximum out of your weekend.
