Going the Distance — Dynamic MN Team-Building Activities for Lasting Connections

Team building doesn’t just happen — it takes thoughtful planning and the perfect venue to bring your group together in meaningful ways. Luckily, meetingpages has curated some of the best Minnesota team-building activity venues and experiences guaranteed to make you the MVP (Most Valuable Planner) of your next event.

Fun and Games That Bring Teams Together

Laughter is the best glue for lasting connections, and Minnesota offers plenty of opportunities to mix fun with teamwork. For a unique day trip or overnight experience, Treasure Island Resort & Casino is more than just gambling and live entertainment. Did you know they also offer Mississippi River cruises aboard the Spirit of the Water? This 100-passenger yacht hosts lunch, brunch, and dinner cruises that promise an unforgettable adventure your team will cherish.

Another water-based option is the Lady of the Lake — a classic paddlewheel boat providing private charters on scenic lakes in the Twin Cities. Whether you’re hosting a relaxed lunch cruise or a lively evening gathering, the Lady of the Lake offers a charming and memorable way to bring your team together on the water.

For a fast-paced, friendly competition, jump into Whirlyball at locations in Bloomington or Maple Grove. Combining elements of basketball, hockey, and lacrosse with bumper cars, this high-energy game will have your team laughing and bonding in no time. And if you’re looking to add an urban twist to your outing, don’t miss Mall of America, where you can mix shopping, dining, and interactive attractions like escape rooms and virtual reality experiences — perfect for energizing and connecting your group indoors.

Get Your Group on Target — Outdoor Adventures with a Kick

If you want to blend the great outdoors with excitement, Minnesota’s Horse & Hunt Club and Canterbury Park deliver. Try skeet shooting on sprawling grounds managed for outdoor fun and team spirit, then relax at Trigger’s Bar & Restaurant with stunning hilltop views and hearty regional fare.

Or get your adrenaline pumping with horse racing at Canterbury Park, featuring live races, simulcasts, exclusive track tours, and casino card games. Their customizable event spaces and on-site catering make it easy to tailor your day for maximum impact and fun.

Stay the Course — Golf and Lawn Games for Every Skill Level

Take advantage of Minnesota’s beautiful summer with golf-inspired team activities. Centennial Lake Park offers a unique miniature golf experience with 18 challenging greens surrounded by real sand traps and ponds — perfect for fostering friendly competition.

Prefer traditional golf? Rush Creek Golf Club, just 20 miles from Minneapolis, is a premier championship course with a rich history of national events. After your round, unwind with your team at the Highlander Restaurant.

Nearby Green Haven Golf Course & Event Center provides a park-like setting ideal for corporate tournaments and group dining at the Tavern at Green Haven. For variety, Majestic Oaks Golf Club and the renowned TPC Twin Cities — designed by Arnold Palmer — offer championship-level play and welcoming clubhouses perfect for any group gathering.
