Group activities for a Minneapolis team outing
Each card has a group tip and a link to live prices.
Brewery crawl
Northeast Minneapolis and the North Loop have a dense cluster of breweries and taprooms. Guided brewery tours handle the route and the driving.
Paddle the Chain of Lakes
Bde Maka Ska and Lake of the Isles sit right in the city, with canoe, kayak, and paddleboard rentals. An easy, cheap group afternoon in summer.
Learn to curl
Curling is a real Minnesota pastime, and local curling clubs offer learn-to-curl sessions for groups during the winter season. Surprisingly competitive and great for teams.
Twins game at Target Field
A Twins game downtown is an easy group outing in summer, with group seating and party areas available.
Guthrie Theater
The Guthrie is a nationally known theater on the Mississippi riverfront. Even without a show, its cantilevered bridge has one of the best views in the city.
Mall of America and Nickelodeon Universe
The biggest mall in the country, with an indoor theme park in the middle. A year-round option for birthdays and mixed-age groups.
Riverfront bike tour
A bike tour across the Stone Arch Bridge and along the Mississippi covers the city's mill history and skyline views.
Planning tips for a team outing
How organizers keep it cheaper and calmer.
Get a firm headcount before you book. Group rates usually lock at a minimum number, and a few no-shows can push you below it.
Ask for an invoice. Most group operators will invoice a company directly, which beats expensing a dozen personal cards.
Choose activities that work for different energy levels and comfort with alcohol. A good team outing doesn't make anyone opt out.
Weekday daytime slots are often cheaper and easier to book privately than weekends.
