Let’s face it – many of us have been working solo remotely for far too long and are overdue for some face time with our colleagues. As we close the last quarter of the year, there’s never been a better time to plan out your strategy and goals for next year, face to face.
Here are recommendations for the best team building event venues in Louisville below:
Bluegrass Karting and Events
Imagine starting your team building event with serious strategy sessions and planning your goals for the coming year. After all the serious stuff is done, you can now run off to the karts and start racing.
Bluegrass Karting, one of those unique corporate retreat locations, creates unique bonding opportunities for your team in Louisville. Apart from the go-karts, your teammates can chill with some bourbon or draft beer, get their inner Hulks out in the rage room, or try their hand at ax throwing. You can find them at 2520 Ampere Dr. Call 1-502-297-9899 for reservations. Rates start at $10 per attendee.
Strayboots
Walking tours allow you to discover places in Louisville you may never have seen before. What could be better than that? Strayboots is one of those company retreat locations where you get to explore your hometown and see it in a new light: It’s a scavenger hunt!
First, explore Old Louisville or start hunting for clues as you rediscover the city’s downtown area. Then, follow the city’s whiskey trail as you learn about its rich history. Strayboots also hosts custom events. Call 877-787-2929 to schedule tours, scavenger hunts and interactive team events.
Smash Lab Louisville
Rage rooms are all the rage today simply because they allow people to release inner tensions. And they’re a lot of fun too. Smash Lab Louisville is one of those corporate retreat venues with a twist. Other than the usual sledgehammer fest, they also offer Splash Lab rooms where your team gets to splash and paint an entire room – unleashing their wild creative side! They provide tools and safety equipment. You can find Smash Lab at 11440 Bluegrass Pkwy 40299. Call (502) 267-8070 for reservations and inquiries. You can schedule pick-up and drop-off points too.
Activate Games
Most know what escape rooms are by now. The premise is simple: While locked inside a room, your team figures out the clues that will let you escape. It’s fun, and it allows your team to work together and get their brains synchronized.
Activate Games is one of our picks of the best corporate retreat locations because it does that and more. Your team will also do a lot of running, jumping, throwing and crawling as you complete a variety of challenges in this offsite corporate meeting & event venue.
