Ideas For Teambuilding Activity In DSM Area

[throwittoblythe]

My work is holding a regional meeting in Des Moines in a few weeks. We have a few employees that work locally, but almost everyone is coming from out of town. We will have a group of about 20-30 people. We are staying near the airport.

I've been charged with finding a good social/team building event in the evening. Does anyone have good recommendations?

For reference: we did TopGolf in KC and axe throwing in Houston last year.

I appreciate the help!

Is your group demographic mostly male with those prior activities?

Might be worth the trip into downtown for an escape room.

Smash Park would be perfect.

Smash Park in WDM is very fun.

Yes, mostly guys. Engineers and construction folk. Probably 90% male.

You could consider going to the newly opened Ricochet downtown.

Then Smash Park probably better than paint and wine place in Urbandale.

I also failed to mention that our leadership team scheduled dates without checking with me first. So it will overlap with the boys HS bball tournament. I'm sure anywhere will be packed around that time.

A lot of breweries do trivia nights.

Rube's Steakhouse. Cook up some quality meats while slamming beers around the community grill.

Team building is dumb and worthless…. have no idea why companies waste their time and money on them.

Sounds like somebody failed a few trust falls.
