Off-site Venues
Famous for discovering the dwarf planet Pluto, the Lowell Observatory offers year-round telescope viewing and guided tours through the Discovery Channel telescope. Its historic Rotunda Museum can accommodate 1,600 standing, or a lecturer can bring a smaller telescope to a meeting off-site.
For an intimate peek into the beautiful diversity of the Colorado Plateau, the Museum of Northern Arizona is all Native American artifacts, art and information on area-related natural sciences. Groups can meet in a spacious auditorium or a more intimate room for 40. The founder’s historic Colton House is a beautifully appointed space for small retreats with space for receptions of up to 75 people and even has overnight guest rooms.
Other Major Meeting Sites
Tucked into 500 acres of pine forest, the Little America Hotel has undergone a complete facelift in 2017. The independent, family-owned property added three meeting rooms — for a total of 10 rooms and 13,000 square feet of space — and a new restaurant, and upgraded its lobby and all 247 guest rooms. Seven are suites. A 5,100-square-foot lawn can hold up to 500 guests.
“It’s a totally new hotel,” said Jessica Young, sales and marketing manager for the Flagstaff Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Also newly renovated, the 183-guest-room Doubletree by Hilton has 6,000 square feet of meeting space.
Team Building
At Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course, individuals can participate at any skill level. Seventy-plus aerial challenges, color-coded for degree of difficulty, await corporate groups. Suspended in the tall pines at 15 to 60 feet off the ground, these elements include bridges, swings, slides, nets, zip lines and an aerial surfboard, all designed to help attendees push their limits and overcome fear in a supportive environment.
Teams of up to 14 can stick to terra firma on an Alpine Pedaler. A human-powered party on wheels, the cycle bumps through downtown Flagstaff, crawling to pubs or restaurants. There’s no extra charge for raucous laughter.
