Come Together — 10 Best Minnesota Venues for Team Building

Team building doesn’t just happen. Like everything else, you must first select the right activity venue for your group and plan it. When it comes to planning, let meetingpages make you the MVP (most valuable planner) by providing some of the best Minnesota team building activity venues you won’t want to miss.

Fun and Games

Laughter and entertainment are the best (and most enjoyable) ways for your group to bond. What better was then a day trip or overnight to Treasure Island Resort & Casino that offers exciting gambling, live entertainment, fabulous dining, and comfortable accommodations, but did you know they also offer Mississippi River cruises aboard their 100-passenger yacht? Available for lunch, brunch, and dinner, The Spirit of the Water will give your group a journey they’ll likely never forget. Or, strengthen team camaraderie with friendly competition in a game of Whirlyball with locations in both Bloomington and Maple Grove, experience something new and exciting with your team. Jump in a bumper car and take on your peers in a fast-paced game combining basketball, hockey, and lacrosse.

Get Your Group Event on Target and to the Finish Line

Combine the great outdoors with horses, racing, cards, or target shooting, and you’ve got an event that’s irresistible at either one of these venues. Get your team out of the office and out on the range. Skeet shooting is an exciting, inclusive outdoor activity that will unite your team, foster a positive team spirit, and strengthen relationships. Encompassing over 600 acres of managed hunting and shooting grounds, the Minnesota Horse & Hunt Club offers four trap fields and two skeet fields. Afterward, your group can gather in Trigger’s Bar & Restaurant with striking hilltop panoramic views, a rustic décor, and a menu offering a variety of foods from the region. For pure, unbridled excitement, there’s nothing like horse racing. Canterbury Park features live racing, simulcasts of other track races, exclusive tours of the track, and even cards, including Blackjack, Mississippi Stud, Three Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold’em and more. Get your gang on track in one of the Park’s customizable spaces, including open air options and on-site catering. You’ll be glad you took the chance.

Stay the Course

Whether it’s 18 holes of putting or 9 holes on a regulation course, these local courses let your team make the most of our short, sweet summer days. Not your typical mini golf, but instead, golf in miniature. Centennial Lake Park’s 18 greens are surrounded by real sand traps, ponds, boulders, and planter beds. Using just a putter, players navigate the bent grass greens for an exciting, and truly unique, golf experience. Looking for another way to encourage team unity and healthy competition? Try croquet or lawn bowling. The championship-caliber courses here are some of the finest in the Midwest. Ready to hit the regulation greens? Don’t miss Rush Creek Golf Club, located 20 miles from downtown Minneapolis, one of Minnesota's premiere golf facilities. The 18-hole championship golf course has hosted many national events including 3 LPGA Tour events and the 2004 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship. End your round with a team lunch or dinner at the Highlander Restaurant onsite. Located just outside downtown Anoka, this historic Green Haven Golf Course & Event Center has been welcoming golfers for decades. The 18 championship holes are in a park-like setting making the course ideal for corporate tournaments. After your round, gather the group in the Tavern at Green Haven for frosty drinks and everything from small plates to crafted sandwiches, burgers to fine dining entrees. With two 18-hole courses and an executive 9, Majestic Oaks Golf Club is the perfect setting for players at every level. The beautiful clubhouse welcomes guests to The Oaks Bar & Grill with a full menu of culinary delights and drinks from which to choose. Recognized by Golf Digest magazine as among the top 20 golf courses in Minnesota, TPC Twin Cities championship course designed by legendary golf pro, Arnold Palmer features a 31,000 square foot clubhouse that can accommodate a wide range of groups from banquets to smaller, more intimate gatherings. There’s also an outdoor patio for dining with views of the beautifully landscaped 18th hole.
