Lanes (402.483.7763) or Chris at Hollywood Bowl (402.466.1911).” In agreement on a bowling center being an ideal venue for a holiday party, and on the importance of planning well in advance for this year’s event, Jen Miseno of Sun Valley Lanes further advises, “I highly recommend planning early in order to reserve the best possible time for your party. Some groups book their parties a year in advance to make sure they get the time and space that they Jen Miseno want. However, these are generally higher Sun Valley Lanes demand times for larger groups. Planning for smaller and more flexible groups should begin now as things do fill up fast. Keep in mind, the prime time spots (such as a Saturday before Christmas) will book up much sooner than a lower traffic time (like a Monday or Wednesday afternoon in November). At Sun Valley Lanes, our “Strike Package” is still one of our most popular packages. Included is 2 hours of bowling, shoe rental, soft drinks, and a 2 entrée/4 appetizer buffet. However, we do have many other options for food packages based on your specific wants and needs. If you haven’t been out bowling this past year, you are missing out on our Fun Valley Arcade, a 1500 sq. ft. arcade and redemption center with 20 state-of-the-art games and thousands of dollars’ worth of prizes. We can add arcade credit to any event, is a great opportunity to take the fun to the next level in the Fun Valley Arcade. After all, you are here to have fun and enjoy yourself while celebrating the holidays, so why not make the most of it!” She adds, “The great thing to keep in mind for corporate event is that our activities cater to all ages and capabilities. No one is left out!” Participating in a fun group sport or activity could be a great fit for your holiday party, but here in Lincoln we also love our live sporting events. With that in mind, aside from Husker football and volleyball, the most popular local events for spectators this time of year are definitely Lincoln Stars Hockey games!

If you want to get creative with your holiday party, that’s certainly not going to present a problem with all that Lincoln has to offer for entertainment. For example, with its location in close proximity to many other entertainment establishments in downtown Lincoln, the Historic Haymarket, and even the Railyard, you could plan an entire afternoon or evening of holiday fun with your group that includes a stop at Escape Lincoln. “Escape rooms offer a fun and unique activity that will give you something to talk and laugh about during the rest of your company’s holiday event,” says Anh McClure, co-owner of Escape Lincoln. “We can accommodate large groups broken down to smaller teams to ensure everyone is involved and has a great time. And if you booked a holiday party with us last year, we have redone all three escape rooms this year and have a whole new experience for you to try! Anh McClure Escape Lincoln
She also emphasizes, “With so many companies and families planning events around the holidays, it’s important to schedule ahead. If you are looking for a fun activity (possibly to pair with a dinner outing in the Haymarket), you could plan an event at Escape Lincoln. We are open by appointment during the week, which means we can customize your group’s escape to work with your other plans.” Another of the somewhat “non-traditional” yet fantastic ideas for a holiday party is none other than a spa party! “We love doing spa parties!” says Tasha Schmeichel, owner of Tranquility Salon & Spa. “In fact, treating employees or clients to a mini spa day has become quite popular within the last couple years.
