We used Seven Oaks for two different events, a staff party and a board retreat. Seven Oaks staff were extremely organized, very accommodating and wonderful to work with. The facilities were perfect for our needs.

I had my wedding here and everything was amazing! Sara and Maddie truly went above and beyond with everything! They even offered last minute to assist with finding a new hair and make up artist when my cancelled the day before! They were extremely accommodating to all our needs and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!

My son had a great 10th birthday party at Seven Oaks this past weekend on the paintball course. The outdoor area was great for our group of 8 for their first real paintball experience. The workers were awesome walking the boys through how to use their equipment and getting them taken care of when the CO2 tanks needed to be refilled. Would highly recommend Seven Oaks Recreation for a unique birthday party!

My son and his wife had their wedding reception here. We couldn't have asked for a better venue! The building is beautiful. They even had the patio/fire pit area ready for our guests! The staff was amazing. They made sure everything went smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Highly recommended.

The van driver that took us to the area we got in the at was very personable. The float down the river was very relaxing. Would do it again!

4 miles West of Boone off US 30. Best place in central Iowa, for snow skiing and tubing. Well groomed and maintained. Equipment rental and lessons available. Food, beverages, and affordable pricing. All things considered, I give this 4 stars for snow skiing in central Iowa. Get out there and have fun!

Excellent river kayaking experience! Seven Oaks staff made everything easy, from online reservation, confirmation, day of float. Prices were reasonable, staff was friendly & helpful! River float was perfect! Great time on the water!

This place is an upgrade from skiing at Mt Crescent. The lifts run smoothly, lots of runs with different difficulty options. The lodge was very nice with lots of room and food/snack options. I just wish it was easier to access from Omaha and not 3 hours away haha.
