Nightlife
5 mi
Chip Shots is where hangouts run into simulation sports. Where cornhole competitors cross paths with pickleball fanatics and golf pros watch football next to families. It’s 10,000 square feet where we can escape Minnesota’s anti-socialization climate together.
Fun requires fresh connections and new challenges to rise to. Thus, Chip Shots is loaded to the brim with activities that foster socializing, networking, and laughter. We’re a sports bar. We’re a pro shop. We’re a gastro-pub with IPAs on tap, domestics in cans, a cage match on one TV, and a soccer match on the other. We’re somewhere to link with new friends, or carve out space for an existing friend bubble in need of an excursion.

American Ghost Walks
Multi-city
Ghosts and fun bring your team closer together.
Guided experiences to multiple haunted locations. Your group will be treated to a ghostly experience during a 90-120 minute walking tour, 3-hour bus excursion, or pick a custom experience with food and alcohol options or a family-oriented experience as well.
Your team has been on outings before, but this time they've asked you to find something different and exciting for everybody.
When looking for specific venues to host your group, it can be quite challenging. And the last thing you want is another work event that feels more like a chore than a fun activity.
Your team doesn’t want to:
- Throw any more axes
- Go bowling again
- Sit bored at a large group dinner
Experience The City's Haunted Past with Your Entire Team
On this special evening, you and your team will have the perfect opportunity to get to know each other better! Your guide is well-versed in local culture, so you can expect a fun, engaging, and spooky event.
