Make Fun — Amazing Minnesota Team-building Activities

Fun doesn’t just happen. Like everything else, you must 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 these amazing activities at Minnesota venues you’re going to want to try.

Climb to New Heights

Rock climbing and ropes courses are wildly popular team building activities. This venue offers your team the opportunity to build stronger relationships that will transfer into the workplace.

Northern Star Scouting Base Camp.

The indoor rock-climbing wall is the centerpiece of Base Camp. But that’s not the only activity available at this Fort Snelling facility. Other options include a Space Shuttle Simulator, Robotics, Indoor and Outdoor Ropes Courses, Archery, and even Belay Training. All activities offer your group fun and exciting opportunities to problem solve, encourage and support one another, and take on new challenges.  On-site meeting rooms available for post-event wrap-up.

Fun and Games

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.

St Paul Saints at CHS Field

If your team hasn’t visited St. Paul’s minor league team for a rousing game of baseball, then you’re all in for a real treat. Not only will you experience an outstanding display of America’s favorite pastime, you’ll see that the Saints know how to have a lot of fun between innings. From sumo wrestling to tire races, usher training to trivia contests, they’ll keep you laughing all night long. The unique venue offers meeting and event space for corporate gatherings as well.  

Valleyfair

Strengthen team camaraderie with team building missions designed specifically for corporate outings. The app-enhanced, custom Scavenger Hunt and the Appmazing Race encourage cooperation, communication, and problem solving. Retro Game Shows gets everyone involved, Tower Building works to form group cohesion, and Case Cracker encourages collaboration. Thrill rides, Soak City, Water Slides, Shows, food and beverages and more make Valleyfair the ideal place to gather your group.

Horse Around

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.

Minnesota Horse & Hunt Club

Get the group 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. Or choose to have the crew saddle up for some riding lessons. 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.

Canterbury Park

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.

Centennial Lakes Park

Not your typical mini golf, but instead, golf in miniature. Centennial Lake Park’s 18 greens are surrounded by 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.

Green Haven Golf Course & Event Center

Located just outside downtown Anoka, this historic club 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.

Offering two 18-hole courses and an executive 9, Majestic Oaks 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. Interested in something different after your round?

The 31,000 square foot Clubhouse can accommodate a wide range of groups from banquets to smaller, more intimate gatherings.

There’s simply nothing like a cruise to inspire, energize, and entertain your team. Climb aboard one of these venues for a truly memorable experience.

Lady of the Lake

Set sail on Lake Minnetonka aboard the Lady of the Lake, a historic charter boat sure to thrill your crew.
