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 Iowa team building activities that do just that.
Rock climbing is a wildly popular team building activity. This venue offers your team the opportunity to build stronger relationships that will transfer into the workplace.
Climb Iowa enables your team to connect on a whole new level. Climbing not only promotes health and wellness, it also encourages problem-solving and communication. Climb Iowa is Iowa’s largest indoor climbing and training gym, with more than 10,000 square feet of climbing, 200 routes and problems, a fitness room, and yoga studio. All activities offer your group fun and exciting opportunities to encourage and support one another, while taking on new challenges.
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 Dubuque’s Tier 1 junior ice hockey team, the Fighting Saints, then you’re all in for a real treat. Not only will you experience an outstanding display of the Midwest’s favorite sport, you’ll see that the Mystique Community Ice Center knows how to treat their guests. The unique venue offers meeting and event space for corporate gatherings, including a community room, boardroom, and the Medical Associates Club lounge.
What could be more fun than racing down the most thrilling water park slides in Iowa? How about thrill rides like the Dragon, Falling Star, Himalaya, and The Monster for starters? You’ll find all that and more at Adventureland. Follow up the thrills with a Gathering in The Clubhouse, The Gazebo, the Festival Grounds, or the Palace Theater.
Feel the need for speed? Bring your crew to the Iowa Speedway, to cheer on racing IndyCars, NASCAR, Sports Cars, and more. The Iowa Speedway is known as The Fastest Short Track on the Planet, so there’s plenty of excitement on race day. Lodging and camping, local attractions, dining and entertainment are all conveniently close to the speedway.
Plan a group escape to Rhythm City Casino Resort. Everything you need for a memorable group getaway is here, including slots, video poker and table games. Comfortable guest rooms and suites, four dining options, headlining entertainment, and relaxing spa cater to your groups every desire.
Combine horse racing with cards and slots and you’ve got an event that’s as appealing as it is exciting.
For pure, unbridled excitement, there’s nothing like horse racing. Prairie Meadows Racetrack features live racing of Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds, simulcasts of other track races, casino games, including slots, table games, poker, and more. Get your gang on track in The Meadows Events and Conference Center located just minutes from downtown Des Moines. You’ll be glad you took the chance.
Combine the great outdoors with hunting and shooting, and you’ll be right on target for a great group event.
Get the team out of the office and out on the range. Highland Hideaway Hunting is a 1500-acre hunting preserve and is eastern Iowa’s home for quality pheasant and chukar hunting. The Sporting Clay Course is one of the most unique in the state and will unite your team, foster a positive team spirit, and strengthen relationships. There are cozy accommodations for up to 16 guests, multiple large dining and entertainment areas, and two outdoor patios. The Hideaway is just minutes from area attractions, additional lodging, and the Riverside Casino and Golf Resort.
Whether you want to play 9 holes or 18, these local courses let your team make the most of the sweet days of summer.
Play the challenging 18-hole classic Coldwater Golf Links golf course. The helpful staff will assist you in planning a customized tournament to suit your group’s needs. Named one of the Best Places to Play by Golf Digest, the award-winning course will challenge your team with 6,787 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71. Great casual dining is available in the clubhouse.
This picturesque course welcomes golfers to enjoy 27 holes of golf with its long fairways, multiple water hazards, and strategically placed sand traps. After your round, gather the group in the Bar & Grill for frosty drinks and a full menu of mouthwatering deli sandwiches, burgers, and snacks with seating indoors or outdoors on the patio overlooking the course. Gorgeous grounds and memorable event space make your gathering special.
There’s simply nothing like a cruise to inspire, energize, and entertain your team. Climb aboard this venue for a truly memorable experience.
The Jon Anderson White Riverboat and Wheelhouse Room is the ideal spot to host your corporate outing. The Riverboat replicates the style of the Golden Era of river travel with a distinctive decor, pressed tin ceiling, custom carpet, solid oak rope columns, and Royal Blue walls. Classic in appearance, it also features modern amenities such as air conditioning, handicap access, and two restrooms. Fabulous cuisine for lunch, dinner, and cocktail parties plus a wide range of live entertainment choices will make your event one your team won’t ever forget.
