After 'Let's', use the base form of the verb without 'to'.

常见问题 (6)
going to 主要用于表达你已经做好的计划，或者根据现有证据进行的预测。will 更多用于临时做出的决定、承诺，或者没有具体证据的一般性预测。你可以把 going to 理解为“事先决定好的”，而 will 是“当下决定”。比如：I am going to meet him tomorrow.(已经安排好的计划) vs.
I will open the door.(当下决定去开门)。
I will eat 或者 She will study。I won't go 或者 They won't come。I will go to the gym tomorrow,听起来更像是在对自己发誓，而不是陈述计划。计划好的事请用 'going to'。
