Where was Blended filmed?

The blind date scene is one of the movie's most iconic moments. It starts as Jim and Lauren, two single parents, go on a blind date at the Lawrenceville Hooters restaurant to find love again. The restaurant is a well-known chain famous for its chicken wings and waitresses wearing skimpy outfits. It sets the tone for the rest of the movie with its lighthearted atmosphere and quirky character dynamics.

Inside, you can expect classic American sports bar decor such as colorful lights, TVs showing sports games, pool tables, and alcoholic beverages on tap. Aside from that, there are plenty of delicious food options like burgers, sandwiches, and iconic chicken wings served by friendly waitresses in short shorts—just like they appear in Blended.

The scene was filmed at 860 Duluth Hwy Suite 900, Lawrenceville, GA 30043, USA. The location is easily accessible by car and public transport. Most people can reach it by taking I-85 N or I-285 N from Atlanta, for a total driving time of around half an hour from downtown Atlanta. Once you get to the shopping center, you can spot Hooters immediately, thanks to its bright orange logo on the building's facade.

Jim and Lauren embark on a romantic vacation to South Africa with their Blended Honeymoon package. When they initially meet, the awkwardness between them is palpable, along with Brendan (Braxton Beckham) calling his mother "hot" and Espen (Emma Fuhrmann) still not ready to let go of his mom despite her absence. However, over time both sets of kids warm up to each other and their respective parents, creating a delightful mix of romance and comedy from this newfound bond.

The movie was filmed in Sun City Resort, located approximately 90 miles northwest of Pretoria, a neighboring city of Johannesburg in South Africa. To make it look even more lavish, the Palace of the Lost City Hotel was used as a backdrop for many scenes within the resort, featuring extravagant swimming pools, numerous restaurants, two golf courses, and much more.

To get to Sun City Resort, you’re looking at a two-hour drive from Pretoria or a two-and-a-half-hour drive northwest from Johannesburg.

In the romantic comedy Blended, the beautiful Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden in Cape Town was the backdrop for a memorable scene. The stunning fynbos blooms and lush greenery provide a lovely setting for their family outing. During this time, Jim and Lauren bond with their children as they participate in adventurous activities such as safari and parasailing.

Visiting Kirstenbosch is a sight to behold, regardless of the season; however, if you want a truly magnificent experience that allows you to appreciate the beauty and abundance of fynbos in all its glory—with flowers and plants blooming everywhere—then plan your visit between August and November. Kirstenbosch is located on Rhodes Drive at the foot of Table Mountain and was established in 1913. The area is well-known for its diverse vegetation, with over 8 600 indigenous plants representing 20 families. There are trails suitable for all ages that meander through various landscapes, from grasslands to mountain slopes, providing visitors with stunning views of gardens and mountains.

The easiest way to get there is by car or taxi, which is only 15 minutes from the city center. It is also accessible by public transport (MyCiti bus) or footpaths leading up from Constantia Nek or Newlands Forest Nature Reserve.

The final scene from the movie starts with a baseball game. Everyone supports Tyler (Kyle Red Silverstein), including Lauren and Brendan, Jen (Wendi McLendon-Covey) and Dick (Dan Patrick), and Jim and his daughters. As the game progresses, Jim gives Tyler some pointers on how to hit the ball as he had taught him in Africa, helping Tyler gain the confidence he needs. This inspiring moment is celebrated with cheers from all around. At the end of the game, Jim and Lauren admit their feelings for each other in front of everyone, including their kids, who know they are already a blended family. They share a passionate kiss that brings joy to everyone present.

This scene was filmed at Four Seasons Sports Park, which you can find at 6262 Chestnut Hill Road, Flowery Branch, Georgia. iIt’s a great spot for families looking to spend quality time together and host special celebrations like birthdays outdoors. This iconic location features a picturesque landscape filled with trees, lush grassy areas, picnic tables and BBQ grills.

This location is easily accessible from various directions, and is just a 45-mile drive from the heart of Atlanta.
