The Great Outdoors – Wisconsin Event Activities for Groups

Fun doesn’t just happen, as a planner, you must first start with a great plan and a fun-tastic place for it to happen. Whether you’re looking for team building activities, planning a corporate outing, or scheduling a company retreat, we recommend you start with our list of amazing Wisconsin event venues you’re going to want to try. Better yet, they are all outdoors.

Right on Target

Outdoors, the fresh air, healthy competition — all benefits gained from a team outing at a hunting, trap shooting, or fishing venue. Follow up the fun with a hearty, hot meal, and a place to lay your head, and you may just have hit on the perfect activity for your team outside the office.

Milford Hills Hunt Club

Encompassing over 500 acres of picturesque rolling hills in southern Wisconsin, Milford Hills is one of the Midwest’s premier hunt clubs and wing shooting destinations. Offering your group the opportunity to hunt pheasant, chukar, quail and more, as well as shoot rifles, pistols, sporting clays and five-stand. Comfortable accommodations can be found at The Lodge, while hearty food is served in either of the two dining areas.

Tee it Up

There’s nothing like a day on the course with your crew. The sunshine, the verdant greens, the lovely landscape…and the intensity of a really good golf game. Bring your group together on a golf course and watch the healthy competition, instant camaraderie, and entertaining action take place.

SentryWorld Sport Center

Wild Rock Golf Club at The Wilderness

Tee up at Wild Rock Golf Club, a rugged 18-hole championship course chiseled around and through a former quarry, one of only a few like it in the country.

Four indoor and four outdoor waterparks means there’s something for everyone.

The Event Center accommodates up to 250 seated guests inside with several exceptional local catering options.

Sail into Fun

Dells Boat Tours

Park Amusement

In Wisconsin, it’s easy to find an activity or event that’s pure entertainment. Planning ideas for your team are abundant in America’s Dairyland — have them catch a ballgame, go along for the ride on a roller coaster, or send them off to the races — the possibilities are endless and all outdoors!

Milwaukee Brewers Game at Miller Park

Watching the Brewers play ball in the sunshine or under the stars at the outdoor Miller Park Stadium is some of the most fun your group can have this summer.
