Corporate meeting facility (outdoorsy)

We are planning a one day meeting with 10 executives. We are trying to find a facility near Indianapolis. We would like to be out of the city (outdoors, woods, golf course, you get the idea). I looked into Eagle Creek Park and they have 2 homes, but would be $500 for just one day and that is over budget. What our main needs are would be a large conference room with a few smaller rooms for breakout sessions. We would need to have access (either through the venu or on our own for breakfast and lunch catering) Any ideas?

If you are willing to go as far south as Brown County, you might try the Seasons Inn in Nashville, Indiana. They recently reopened %26amp; have a nice, rustic conference center.

You might try the Indianapolis Museum of Art or the Gardens at the indianapolis Zoo (can%26#39;t remember the exact name there)although it is downtown. Another thought might be out at Fort Harrison. They have a beautiful facility overlooking the golf course.

One idea might be in Fort Benjamin Harrison on the northeast side of the Indy. The Kendall Inn is right next to the entrance of Fort Harrison State Park. They have lodging, a restaurant, and some meeting facilities. I cannot personally vouch for it, but it looks pretty nice from the outside anyway. Might be pricey but maybe they%26#39;ll comp the meeting space if you do food and lodging. The Fort golf course next door is one of the nicer courses in the city and also has a restaurant and some meeting facilities at the clubhouse. The Fort clubhouse also has lodging but it looks as if it doesn%26#39;t have enough to accommodate your group. If they stay at the Kendall Inn, the walk over to the golf clubhouse with golf equipment might be too far. Might have to drive them, which may seem a little goofy because it%26#39;s very close.

Another possibility might be Prairie View Golf Course (nicest in the metro area IMHO) and they have good food and catering. I know they have banquet facilities but not sure if they can accommodate a smaller business meeting or have breakout rooms. They are really pricey too but very nice place. Link below.

Good luck!

Indyob -- Didn%26#39;t see your recommendation Ft Harrison before I posted. Sorry!

All of the recommendations are very good. The grounds at the Museum of Art are very pretty, with short trails down to the water. Nice.

Right downtown has hotels right on the canal, with easy access to White River Park (plus all the amenities of downtown Indy if you go out the front door ...).

Conner Prairie used to have meeting facilities on their property too - a living museum, showing life in a frontier town in the 1800%26#39;s. I would think they still have the meeting facilities/cabins. It%26#39;s near enough to the interstate system to be easily reachable, but remote enough to forget you%26#39;re near the city. About 15 minutes north of I-465 on Allisonville Road.

If golf is a big thing - you can%26#39;t go wrong with the Fort though.
