Why Connecticut Is Great for Team Building
The practical reasons Connecticut works when you need to get a team together.
-
Easy to Get Everyone There
Fairfield County teams can come by train. South Norwalk is on Metro-North, about an hour from New York (worth knowing, since Stamford drivers lose 53 hours a year to traffic).
-
Indoors or Out, Any Time of Year
The Riverfront Recapture parks give active groups space along the Connecticut River in Hartford, and the Connecticut Science Center on the same riverfront takes private events. If it rains, we move indoors or reschedule.
-
Venues for Any Group Size
Mystic Seaport Museum’s boat shed holds 200. The Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale has a ballroom for 1,000. You book the space, and we bring the event to it.
-
Two Downtowns Built Around a Green
Hartford has Bushnell Park, and New Haven has its 16-acre Green, laid out in 1638. Either one works as base camp for an app-based scavenger hunt.
-
Somewhere to Celebrate After
West Hartford Center near Hartford, or Washington Street in SoNo, a walk from the train.
