Team building Ideas for Corporate Groups

1/24/2019

 
Are you looking for something unique and fun for your next team building event?   Look no further than Milwaukee's East side where you can find several venues that offer a great package and something for everyone.  Starting at AXE MKE, where can you learn how to throw an axe and earn points for coming the closest on the bulls-eye.    Next your group can get your creative juices flowing at a new paint studio that will be opening soon called Splash Studio.   After you try your hand at painting then your group can go 'underground' to build your own golf hole using props from the prop room and then your team can play 18 holes of miniature golf while enjoying cocktails and food.  It's a great way to bond over axes, painting or golfing!

Corporate Event Fun Comes in a Trio

1/24/2019

 
I'm talking about Milwaukee's newest tri-level entertainment destination called Trio.  It's located on the Historic Old World Third Street and it features three unique floors of event space.  The main floor vibe includes a bar/smaller private area for dining and a stage for either a DJ or Karaoke night for your group.   The second floor is the game floor, everything from ping pong tournaments set up and run by their own pro, a large jenga game and other game possibilities.  The top floor is called The View for a reason.  The view has lots of windows overlooking Fiserv Forum/entertainment district and a great view of downtown Milwaukee and the river.   It has an outdoor patio that is spectacular!   You can visit their web page at:  www.trio1023.com

Ice is Cool in Wisconsin

1/4/2019

 
Even though Southeastern Wisconsin is having unseasonably warm weather, Ice will be featured in two prominent areas.   Ice Castles are coming to Lake Geneva.   Ice castles are being built on Riviera beach in Lake Geneva.  When completed, they are expected to soar 30-35 feet in the air.  Different colored lights are built into the ice to add some color to the  castles.   More information about the ice castles and booking tickets can be found here.  

The Ice Bars in Milwaukee's Third Ward will also be making an appearance again (weather dependent) they are scheduled to be open around January 18th.  St. Paul Fish Company, Cafe Benelux and The Wicked Hop on January 18 will kick off “Milwaukee’s Coolest Festival,” featuring hand-carved ice structures that will be used as bars.   You can find more information about the ice bars with this link
