Wondering what tasks will gather the gang this holiday season? Consider one of these popular Iowa corporate team building event activities that are sure to give your staff or members some team spirit! After all, activity venues not only offer fabulous food but provide onsite amusing activities and engaging entertainment too!
Why not take a turn at an 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? After all, challenge courses provide excitement and a chance to show the boss some skills that may have been previously overlooked.
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 instruction 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 a casino resort night is another way to add sparkle and excitement, as are magic shows and event entertainers.
Bet on everyone having a good time when you check into entertaining party options at Isle Casino Hotel Bettendorf & Waterfront Convention Center, Rhythm City Casino Resort, Grand Falls Casino & Golf Resort, or Riverside Casino & Golf Resort.
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 like Des Moines based Majestic Limo & Coach is 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 – consider Seven Oaks Recreation. And of course, lots of hot drinks for warming up afterward.
Check out our Iowa Activity Venues 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 meetingpages Iowa Holiday Party Guide, our gift to you this season!
