Team-Building in Bradenton<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You don’t have to go far to grow closer together.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Just a few miles from the Bradenton Area Convention Center<\/a>, enjoy a team outing to LECOM Park<\/a> for a game of America’s favorite pastime in the third-oldest stadium actively used by an MLB team (after Fenway Park and Wrigley Field). The ballpark’s old-school charm and lively atmosphere, complete with a 19,000 square-foot boardwalk available for hosting groups, always make it fun to root for the home team \u2013 whether that’s MLB’s Pittsburgh Pirates <\/a>during spring training or MiLB’s Bradenton Marauders<\/a> during the regular season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Then again, there’s no reason you have to leave the Convention Center campus to bond with your team. Just head over to the connected Palmetto Marriott Resort & Spa<\/a>, where you can enjoy golden hour from Oyster River<\/a> \u2013 the rooftop bar and restaurant overlooking the scenic Manatee River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Give your group a chance to try something new and lean into their creative side. The <\/strong>Herrig Center for the Arts<\/a> in downtown Bradenton offers more than 350 classes, from pottery and silversmithing to watercolor and glassblowing. In addition to its hands-on sessions, the center is also known for its impressive exhibitions that feature the work of many talented local, state, and national artists \u2013 a great low-key activity for inspiring team members.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Perched off the ground with panoramic views of 705 acres of coastal wetlands, this unique space<\/a> at Robinson Preserve<\/a> is the perfect place to zen out \u2013 plus, it’s not even 10 miles away from the Convention Center. Book the space for a group session and then do some team brainstorming to maximize idea flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Groups will love paddling through the tranquil waterways<\/a> of our 16 publicly accessible nature parks and preserves, enjoying a change of scenery and discovering local wildlife in their natural habitats. Book one of the area’s guided kayak tours for your best chances at spotting fascinating creatures \u2013 everything from manatees and dolphins to pelicans and osprey. Aside from knowing where to look for wildlife, tour guides also provide a wealth of information about different species, their ecosystems, and why it’s so important to protect them all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Expand your team’s horizons to encourage open minds and bigger-picture thinking.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The laid-back, low-rise beaches of Anna Maria Island<\/a> are the perfect place to relax and recharge \u2013 plus, they’re just a ferry ride<\/a> away. Enlist a local business to set up a luxury beach cabana with lounge chairs, games, coolers, and more necessities so all your team has to do is show up and enjoy one another’s company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n After a full day of meetings, slow down on the water. Breathe in the fresh, salty air and watch the sun melt into the horizon. Local charter companies offer various sunset cruises<\/a> \u2013 whether you want to wine and dine together while you cruise or look for dolphins along the way. Our team would be happy to help you find just the right one for your group’s needs!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Is your company committed to doing business sustainably and responsibly? So is the entire Bradenton Area! That’s what our Love It Like A Local<\/a> initiative is all about \u2013 encouraging everyone (especially visitors) to do their part to help preserve and protect our shared natural resources. So why not stay true to your values and work together as a team to give back to something that benefits us all? Our team<\/a> can help coordinate a beach cleanup or an oyster restoration project for your group \u2013 both of which not only help keep our shores and waterways clean, but also release powerful feel-good endorphins!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking for other team-building ideas in the Bradenton Area<\/a>?
