Mother’s Day is coming up, and plans need to be booked. Whether you’re treating someone you love to a dinner, brunch, spa day, or fun adventure, make this weekend special for any and all mother figures in your life. Nice weather, nice plans, and a great Mother’s Day are in store, and we’re here to help make sure of it.
Here are seven fun and unique ways to spend Mother’s Day this year:
Spa day and brunch
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City is pulling out all the stops to treat moms this weekend, so what better way than to indulge? Head to the Rock Spa & Salon for a relaxing start to the day. Facials, pedicures, massages, and more make it the perfect way to unwind. Then, after that post-spa bliss, head over to Council Oak Steaks & Seafood for a Champagne Brunch. Held on Mother’s Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the spread features a carving station, raw bar, hot and cold selections, desserts, and à la carte options. Be pampered, fed, and completely satisfied.
Bike ride through town
While the weather this time of year can be a little unpredictable, it looks like we might have a great weekend ahead. Take advantage of the beautiful month of May and go for a long bike ride through town. Cruise along the boardwalk for ocean views or ride the mainland bike paths. Wherever you go, grab a speaker, some water, and get pedaling. It’s a great way to get some movement in while still keeping things relaxed and fun.
Cardinal buffet
Another brunch spot, because you can never have too many options! Cardinal is hosting a Mother’s Day brunch to celebrate all the moms and parent figures in your life. On Sunday, May 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., enjoy a buffet filled with delicious options, mouthwatering desserts, and refreshing cocktails or mocktails. Get pampered and full in a fun, vibrant atmosphere.
Arcade day
Because moms deserve a day of fun too. Switch things up this Mother’s Day and head to the arcade. Lucky Snake Arcade is offering moms free play all weekend long. Expect games, nostalgia, and a carefree way to celebrate. Something different, something fun and a way to celebrate Mom.
Funny Farm
Calling all animal-loving moms, this is another unique way to celebrate. Funny Farm Rescue & Sanctuary offers a chance to connect with animals while enjoying the outdoors. Walk the grounds, get some fresh air, and support a great cause. Admission is free, making it an easy and meaningful addition to your day.
Walk along the beach or the Boardwalk
This weekend, the Ocean City Boardwalk is calling. Grab your mom, lace up your walking shoes, and take a stroll along the shore with the ocean breeze. Pop into shops as they begin to open for the season and enjoy quality time together while taking in the beautiful views we’re lucky to live near.
Staycation in Cape May
How about a little getaway while still staying close to home? Congress Hall is offering Mother’s Day packages from Friday, May 8, through Sunday, May 10. Book a room, make a dinner reservation, and treat mom to a relaxing weekend filled with the charm of Cape May, before the summer crowds roll in.
No matter how you choose to celebrate, the most important part of Mother’s Day is spending time with the people who mean the most. Whether it’s a full day of plans or something simple and close to home, taking the time to show appreciation goes a long way. So, make the reservation, plan the outing, or just carve out time to be together because those are the moments that truly make the day special.
