Girlfriends' Getaway Itinerary
When you need a well deserved break, gather your besties and visit Overland Park!
From a ladies’ night out to an entire girls’ weekend, we have the perfect itinerary to treat yourself with the variety of shopping, dining and pampering OP has to offer.
Friday Night
Arrive & Unwind
Choose a hotel that keeps you close to many of the city's best restaurants, shopping districts, and attractions.
For an extra level of relaxation, book a hotel with a pool or hot tub.
Vintage '78 Wine Bar
After checking in, ease into the weekend with dinner, a glass of wine, and a relaxed evening catching up at Vintage ’78 Wine Bar in Downtown Overland Park.
Wine lovers will appreciate one of the largest wine-by-the-glass selections in the Midwest, while foodies will love the elevated dinner menu plus classic charcuterie and artisan cheese boards for sharing.
Dessert
If you're not ready to call it a night, grab an Ice Cream Sando at Atomic Cowboy nearby (open until midnight daily).
Saturday Morning
A great weekend starts with a great breakfast, and Overland Park has plenty of local spots worth waking up for.
After breakfast, spend some time exploring local shops around Downtown Overland Park.
AR's Breakfast & Brunch
Start your morning with a splash (of champagne!) at AR’s Breakfast & Brunch.
If you’re in the mood for a little spice, their chorizo bowl has the right level of kick to get you started. Feeling sweet? Their list of waffles, crepes, pancakes and french toast will give you plenty to smile about.
And let’s not forget the mimosas. With a whole bottle of champagne per legendary oversized glass, this is the brunch cocktail that girls’ trips were made for.

If You Have Extra Time
When you’re in town on a Saturday morning, stop by the Overland Park Farmers' Market.
Open seasonally, you'll find everything from fresh produce and flowers to baked goods and goats milk soaps.
While you’re downtown, see how many of the downtown Overland Park murals you can find for a photo op!
Saturday Afternoon
After a morning of shopping and exploring, the afternoon is a great time to slow it down a little.
Grab lunch at a local barbecue spot, visit a hidden gem, then make time to treat yourself at a spa.
Q39
While you're in OP, don't miss one of the most essential Kansas City experiences: barbecue.
Q39 has chef-driven, championship bbq that might just be worth the whole trip.
The menu is packed with classic favorites plus options like the Burnt End Burger, Mac and Q, and wood-fired salmon.
Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art
Located on the campus of the Johnson County Community College, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art has an internationally acclaimed collection of emerging and established artists.
Admission is completely free, and the museum features rotating exhibits and artist talks alongside its impressive permanent collection.
Side note for our social media mavens: The architecture, sculpture garden, and galleries here also make it a top Instagrammable spot in OP.
Spa Day
One of the best parts of escaping on a trip with your girlfriends? Rediscovering a level of relaxation you forgot existed.
Head to Prairiefire, where your group can experience an afternoon of indulgence at:
- Primp & Blow for a professional blowout before dinner
- French Tip Nails for a mani/pedi
- and newly opened Pause Studio for restorative wellness services like float therapy or infrared sauna sessions
After all, no girls getaway would be complete without a little pampering!
Saturday Night
Saturday night in Overland Park is the perfect time to get dressed up and let loose.
Kick off the evening with dinner from a James Beard–nominated chef, then head to a country dance hall to boot scoot and boogie.
Later, keep the party going at a club where it's Y2K all over again.
Of Course Kitchen & Co.
Start your night with dinner reservations at Of Course Kitchen & Company in the Bluhawk district of South Overland Park.
Led by chef Swetha Newcomb, the restaurant brings a thoughtful fusion of American cuisine with South Asian influences to the table full of bold flavors and creative combinations.
Guitars & Cadillacs
If your group is ready to hit the dance floor, head to Guitars & Cadillacs.
This famous country dance hall is known for its high-energy line dancing and live music every Friday and Saturday night.
Vibe Ultra Lounge
Keep the night going at Vibe Ultra Lounge, where DJs spin throwback 2000s crowd favorites and the dance floor stays busy well into the night.
There's also plenty of options for fun selfies, from the swing to the unicorn.
Sunday Morning
Take it easy like Sunday morning on your last day in town.
Before heading home squeeze in one last brunch together, then spend some time exploring gardens and trails.
Urban Egg
Urban Egg puts a twist on classic breakfasts with gourmet pancakes, eggs Benedict variations, and their Billion $$$ Bourbon Bacon.
Create a custom pancake flight and pair it with a drink from the Breakfast Buzz menu. We recommend the espresso martini or the non-alcoholic Urchata, a mix of white and dark chocolate, plus chai and cinnamon.
Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens
Wrap up your trip with peaceful calm exploring the 300-acres at the Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens.
Wander along shaded trails, stroll through a dozen curated garden spaces, and enjoy a quiet moment in one of Overland Park’s most beautiful outdoor spots.
When you’re ready to come back for more, bring the kids and discover why Overland Park is the premier family destination of the Kansas City metro.
