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.

Planning tips for a bachelor party

How organizers keep it cheaper and calmer.

1

Pick one daytime activity and one night plan. Groups that try to do three big things in a day usually do none of them well.

2

Reserve anything with limited capacity (boats, charters, tee times, driving experiences) two to four weeks out, more on holiday weekends.

3

Ask about group or private pricing. Charters and private tours are often priced per boat or per group, so the per-head cost drops as the group grows.

4

Read the alcohol rules. Many boats and party vehicles are BYOB, some ban glass, and some don't allow alcohol at all.
