Team building doesn’t just happen. Like everything else, you must start with a great plan and a fun place. When it comes to planning a corporate outing, scheduling a company retreat, or looking for a team building venue, one thing is for certain, you will want to be sure to choose a team building activity that connects. Here are a few Minnesota team building activities that do just that.
Rock climbing and ropes courses are wildly popular team building activities. This venue offers your team the opportunity to build stronger relationships that will transfer into the workplace.
The indoor rock-climbing wall is the centerpiece of Base Camp. But that’s not the only activity available at this Fort Snelling facility. Other options include a Space Shuttle Simulator, Robotics, Indoor and Outdoor Ropes Courses, Archery, and even Belay Training. All activities offer your group fun and exciting opportunities to problem solve, encourage and support one another, and take on new challenges. On-site meeting rooms available for post-event wrap-up.
Laughter and entertainment are the best (and most enjoyable) ways for your bunch to bond. These venues offer up engaging and unique ways to bring your group together.
If your team hasn’t visited St. Paul’s minor league team for a rousing game of baseball, then you’re all in for a real treat. Not only will you experience an outstanding display of America’s favorite pastime, you’ll see that the Saints know how to have a lot of fun between innings. From sumo wrestling to tire races, usher training to trivia contests, they’ll keep you laughing all night long. The unique venue offers meeting and event space for corporate gatherings as well.
Strengthen team camaraderie with team building missions designed specifically for corporate outings. The app-enhanced, custom Scavenger Hunt and the Appmazing Race encourage cooperation, communication, and problem solving. Retro Game Shows gets everyone involved, Tower Building works to form group cohesion, and Case Cracker encourages collaboration. Thrill rides, Soak City, Water Slides, Shows, food and beverages and more make Valleyfair the ideal place to gather your group.
Combine the great outdoors with horses, racing, cards, or target shooting, and you’ve got an event that’s irresistible at either one of these venues.
Get the group out of the office and out on the range. Skeet shooting is an exciting, inclusive outdoor activity that will unite your team, foster a positive team spirit, and strengthen relationships. Encompassing over 600 acres of managed hunting and shooting grounds, the Minnesota Horse & Hunt Club offers four trap fields and two skeet fields. Or choose to have the crew saddle up for some riding lessons. Afterward, your group can gather in Trigger’s Bar & Restaurant with striking hilltop panoramic views, a rustic décor, and a menu offering a variety of foods from the region.
For pure, unbridled excitement, there’s nothing like horse racing. Canterbury Park features live racing, simulcasts of other track races, exclusive tours of the track, and even cards, including Blackjack, Mississippi Stud, Three Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold’em and more. Get your gang on track in one of the Park’s customizable spaces, including open air options and on-site catering. You’ll be glad you took the chance.
Whether it’s 18 holes of putting or 9 holes on a regulation course, these local courses let your team make the most of our short, sweet summer days.
Not your typical mini golf, but instead, golf in miniature. Centennial Lake Park’s 18 greens are surrounded by sand traps, ponds, boulders, and planter beds. Using just a putter, players navigate the bent grass greens for an exciting, and truly unique, golf experience. Looking for another way to encourage team unity and healthy competition? Try croquet or lawn bowling. The championship-caliber courses here are some of the finest in the Midwest.
Located just outside downtown Anoka, this historic club has been welcoming golfers for decades. The 18 championship holes are in a park-like setting making the course ideal for corporate tournaments. After your round, gather the group in the Tavern at Green Haven for frosty drinks and everything from small plates to crafted sandwiches, burgers to fine dining entrees.
Offering two 18-hole courses and an executive 9, Majestic Oaks is the perfect setting for players at every level. The beautiful clubhouse welcomes guests to The Oaks Bar & Grill with a full menu of culinary delights and drinks from which to choose. Interested in something different after your round? Try the Seasons Dinner Theater at Majestic Oaks or the Mystery Café where the audience is encouraged to engage in the performance and solve “the crime.”
Recognized by Golf Digest magazine as among the top 20 golf courses in Minnesota, TPC is a championship course designed by legendary golf pro, Arnold Palmer. The 31,000 square foot Clubhouse can accommodate a wide range of groups from banquets to smaller, more intimate gatherings. A variety of dining options offer guests everything from casual small plates to fine wines and regional cuisine. There’s even an outdoor patio for dining with views of the beautifully landscaped 18th hole.
There’s simply nothing like a cruise to inspire, energize, and entertain your team. Climb aboard one of these venues for a truly memorable experience.
Set sail on Lake Minnetonka aboard the Lady of the Lake, a historic charter boat sure to thrill your crew. Three decks allow guests enough space to mingle, appreciate the sun and the breezes, or enjoy the gourmet catering in a dining area that is totally enclosed. Your private charter can include narrated sightseeing from the Captain and crew, all of whom possess vast knowledge of the lake and the homes that line its shores.
The cruise line’s fleet includes the Mississippi River’s only luxury charter yacht for up to 145 passengers and the 125-passenger historic paddle-wheeler, the Minneapolis Queen. Whether you want to serve brunch, lunch, dinner, or simply cocktails and appetizers, there is a wide range of choices and options to satisfy every appetite.
Sure, you know that Treasure Island has exciting gambling, live entertainment, fabulous dining, and comfortable accommodations, but did you know they also offer Mississippi River cruises aboard their 100-passenger yacht? Available for lunch, brunch, and dinner, The Spirit of the Water will give your group a journey they’ll likely never forget.
Planning a successful teambuilding experience is a lot of work. Why not consult with an organization that can relieve you of the stress?
