Midwest Dinner Theaters Cater to Groups
A good play is a sure hit on almost any group itinerary. If the show starts at 7:30, you really want to get tour members to the theater by 7:00, so you need to find a restaurant for dinner not too far away. And you need to find one that’s open before 6:00, which not all are.
Once you’ve been able to figure all that out, you wind up spending the entire dinner time checking your watch. It’s great when you lean back and the curtain rises, but by that time you’ve already spent at least a few frazzled hours.
At a dinner theater, you don’t have to worry about your meal reservation, you know you won’t be late for the play, and both the food and the performances are generally very good. Here’s a sampling ofMidwest dinner theaters popular with group travelers:
MINNESOTA
Chanhassen Dinner Theatre is a 90,000-square-foot entertainment complex that was built over 40 years ago on a cornfield outside ofMinneapolis-St. Paul. Not only was the location a risk, but so was the decision to add a restaurant in combination with the theater. Today Chanhassen is the nation’s largest professional dinner theater as well as the largest privately owned restaurant in Minnesota. [800-362-3515, chanhassentheatres.com]
