Get Ready to Race

New to the area, the Accelerate Indoor Speedway & Events welcomes you to a thrilling race! This state-of-the-art electric indoor go-kart racing experience allows racers to challenge one another on the track, going up to 50 mph.

With on-site meeting space for 300 people, use this venue as a teambuilding experience or a post-meeting function space with a bit of adrenaline involved, too. On-site catering options are available, along with a variety of fully customizable a la kart options, perfect for any event.

Teambuilding Adventures

Take your group outdoors for teambuilding and fun among the trees at Irons Oaks Environmental Learning Center. With 38 acres of wooded areas, the venue features a team development course, low-to-the-ground obstacles, two high-ropes courses and a 40-foot climbing tower, which is great for hands-on adventures and learning opportunities. These activities are meant to build personal confidence and trust and support among one another. Participating in this activity guarantees a unique day of fun for your attendees.

In need of additional workspace? Iron Oaks Environmental Learning Center also has two conference rooms with 2,300 square feet of meeting space. Enjoy a catered team lunch or schedule a few breakout sessions for your group during the day. From new team member orientations to a social outing or a fun, after-conference activity, the Iron Oaks team is ready to lead your group.

Root for the Home Team

Take your attendees to cheer on the home team at SeatGeek Stadium, home to the Chicago Fire Soccer Club. Take advantage of the stadium’s meeting space for that important board meeting and then take them to a match to watch the game like the VIPs they are. 

During the summer months, treat your group to a night out at Standard Bank Stadium to root for the home baseball team—the Windy City ThunderBolts. From pre-game and all-you-can-eat picnics for up to 300 people to executive suites for groups up to 50 people—including a catered meal and recognition of your group during the game—a night at the ballpark is an affordable and fun option for your group in Chicago Southland.
