Holiday Gathering Guide: Amazing Minnesota Activities

As your holiday gathering comes together, with both tips and advice from the Holiday Gathering Guide:  Perfect Minnesota Places and Holiday Gathering Guide:  Spectacular Minnesota Services, we knew you’d need one more piece to add to the beautiful mosaic of the event that you’re creating — Amazing Minnesota Activities. After all, a wonderful event venue with fabulous food cries out for amusing activities and engaging entertainment too.

So, why not take a turn at a arcades venue with games? After all, there’s a 13-year-old hiding deep down inside everyone. An evening spent dominating in Skeeball or leading the team in a rousing game of laser tag might be just the ticket for a playful bunch. Or if your group isn’t into dodging laser beams, why not consider go karting, bowling or bocce ball at the Mermaid Entertainment and Event Center? After all, interactive events provide excitement and a chance to show the boss some skills that may have been previously overlooked.

For fun Minnesota event venues that offer your group a gaggle of holiday giggles, check out our complete Minnesota sporting events directory, and Minnesota interactive events directory.

Has the holiday gathering become too predictable? Same folks year after year slogging down watery eggnog and nodding off after nine o’clock? Interactive parties where an activity involves everyone, are a great way to jazz up the joint. With the popularity of dance shows on TV, dance lessons at your holiday party will definitely shake things up. Lessons at a cooking school that involve a celebrity chef and everyone’s contribution can become a fun and interesting way for all the guests to enjoy, anticipate and participate in the prep of the holiday banquet. A traveling casino party or casino gaming night is another way to add sparkle and excitement, as are magic shows.

Bet on everyone having a good time when you check into entertaining party options such as instructors offering dance lessons, a traveling cooking school, casino party, casino gaming facilities such as:

Canterbury Park
Fortune Bay Resort Casino
Grand Casino Hinckley
Grand Casino Mille Lacs
Mystic Lake Casino Hotel
Treasure Island Resort & Casino

Or event entertainers.

For a real twist, why not take the team out of the venue and on to the road? Guided light tours by limo or party bus from Premier Transportation are a festive way to enjoy neighborhood light displays, do a little caroling and safely indulge in a little “Christmas cheer.”  Or get those jingle bells going with a group sleigh ride or hay ride. There’s nothing like a good old-fashioned night in the snow to get everyone “laughing all the way.” Even ice skating, tobogganing or skiing make for great group activities. And of course, lots of hot drinks for warming up afterward.

Check out our Minnesota interactive events guide for an evening that’s “dashing all the way” to wonderful.

And now, everything should be in place — the invitations are sent, the date is saved, the anticipation is mounting. This is going to be the party of the season and the talk of the town. Thank goodness for the Holiday Gathering Guides, our gifts to you this season!
