Looking for a selection of fun and unique team building ideas in Orlando? Then we have you covered with our curated list! The Greater Orlando area includes some of the most popular tourist attractions in Florida. Outside of the metropolitan area, however, you’ll find swimming holes, bike trails, ecotourism spots, and much more.
But what if you want to gather as a team off the beaten path, where you don’t have to worry about tourists and passersby? Then you need a Peerspace rental venue! Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals and makes it easy to find and book stylish, amenity-packed spaces in Orlando and beyond. We’ll show you a few examples ahead.
Whether you decide to tour the city on foot or explore a unique hidden gem space courtesy of Peerspace, we’ve come up with this list of 11 fun team building ideas in Orlando to get you started!
1. Host a workshop at an offsite venue in Orlando courtesy of Peerspace
Sometimes you may want to design your own team building event or incorporate it into a larger company retreat. Whatever activity you have in mind, you can find a place for it at a Peerspace venue.
As we mentioned, Peerspace makes it easy to discover and book hidden gem venues in Orlando and beyond. All spaces are hosted by locals who can lend a helping hand if you need it. And with Peerspace’s simple search engine, you can easily narrow down Orlando event venue options to only those that have the style, amenities, and price point you want.
So what types of venues would be best for your Orlando team building event? Here are just a few favorites:
- This music city bowling villa in Davenport (pictured above) with a two-lane bowling alley, themed rooms, a movie theater room, a game room, and plenty of workshop space.
- This modern downtown conference room with a 72″ flat-screen monitor, an on-site cafe, on-site staffing, breakout spaces, and a kitchen.
- This chic and versatile gathering space in Lake Nona with an open layout, flexible seating, A/V equipment, a kitchen, and an optional photographer to document your day.
- This luxury day retreat in Davenport with a gym, a mini-golf course, a lazy river, a basketball court, a kitchen, and several meeting spaces.
- This private expansive club lounge in Winter Park with a karaoke system, fun lighting, a dance floor, a granite bar, a kitchen, and a conference room.
You get the idea! Not only will you get to spend the day at a memorable off-site location, but you can also turn to the venue’s friendly host for help with any other services and amenities you need. From A/V gear to catering services, you can customize your booking to suit all of your team building ideas in Orlando. Just hire a workshop facilitator or professional speaker to help run your event.
2. Take to new heights and climb the ropes at the UCF Challenge Course
Ropes courses are a tried-and-true team building idea, and Orlando is lucky enough to have this outdoor course nearby at the University of Central Florida campus. The UCF Challenge Course offers two- to nine-hour programs, including High Elements, Low Elements, or a combination of both. From problem-solving to risk-taking, you’ll push past your limits through experiential exercises. The course starts at $25 per person for corporate groups and $15 per person for nonprofits.

3. Explore the city’s culinary treasures with Wandering Palm Tours
Learn more about the local food scene on a walking tour with Wandering Palm Tours. They offer a range of private tours and team building options for small groups of about 12, depending on the tour. You can explore Ivanhoe Food Village on foot, stopping at several restaurants to sample local dishes while meeting some of the chefs. From specialty breweries to chocolatiers, you’ll get to taste some of Orlando’s best cheese, coffee, beer, and dessert!
4. Learn improv skills with SAK Comedy Lab
The SAK Comedy Lab is best known for its improv shows and classes, but they also offer team building workshops with a focus on workplace communication and other group dynamics. You can customize the event to address a specific issue that your team is dealing with, or you can keep it light and treat your team to a private comedy show at your office or your local Peerspace venue.
5. Fulfill the need for speed at Orlando Kart Center
Forget that long commute to the office — Orlando Kart Center lets you and your team race to new heights (or rather, speeds) at its thrilling go-kart track. Here, you can choose from three different racing options. The Racer Package for up to 20 drivers that includes a practice session, one heat, the actual race, and a winner’s ceremony. You can also opt for the Grand Prix, wherein you and up to 40 team members enjoy two hours of driving followed by a winner’s ceremony and access to a private event room. And finally, you can instead choose the Your Way package, which includes three hours on a staffed dedicated race track.
No matter which option you choose, you and your team will bond over your heart-pumping day at the track.
6. Team up to solve the puzzles at The Great Escape Room
While any escape room outing can be a great team activity, not all escape rooms are designed with team building in mind. At the Great Escape Room, you and your group embark on an interactive escape room experience followed by a debriefing session. They also provide offsite options, such as the On The Run puzzle game for groups of 49 and over that you can host at your office or Peerspace venue.
7. Head to a ranch and play cowboy games at Suhls Rodeo
Florida may not be the Wild West, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go to the rodeo. Suhls Rodeo in Kissimmee, FL, offers western-themed hands-on activities, such as horseback riding, cattle wrangling, and more. The games are also intended to help you improve your coordination and nonverbal communication skills. Groups of 50 to 60 are encouraged to spend three to four hours on the ranch for the best results.
You can also enjoy add-on options like watching trick roper Trevor Dreher perform or having a country line dance.
8. Learn to paddleboard with Waves of Wellness
Paddleboarding is one of Florida’s most relaxing pastimes — especially when you go on a tour of Central Florida’s waterways with Waves of Wellness. Jessica is a certified yoga teacher and stand-up paddleboard instructor who offers corporate wellness programs, convention services, private lessons, and more. Whether you try paddleboard yoga in a resort pool or head out on a full moon tour of Lake Mary Jane, this team building idea is sure to inspire you!
9. Ride the West Orange Trail with Bikes and Blades
The West Orange Trail is a 22-mile rail trail that runs through Winter Park, FL, and other parts of Orange County. It’s also part of the Coast-to-Coast Connector Trail which runs all the way to St. Petersburg. You can ride some or all of the West Orange Trail with a rental bike from Bikes and Blades. They offer group bicycle tours, as well as other team building ideas in Orlando, such as charity bike builds, triathlon events, and more.
Weather less than cooperative? Don’t fret, simply utilize these awesome indoor activities in Orlando to still create an incredible team building event for your crew!
10. Go on an eco-friendly kayaking adventure with The Paddling Center
See more of Florida’s natural beauty and wildlife on a tour with The Paddling Center. Their eco-tours will take you to uninhabited islands and rivers where you can see dolphins, manatees, bioluminescence, and other natural sights. For the most immersive trip, take their guided paddle tour through the cypress forests of Shingle Creek. Then, enjoy an outdoor barbecue with the on-site grills and picnic tables. It’s a wonderful way to explore some nature together and also unwind with some delicious food and drinks after!
11. Learn a new recipe with Sobremesa Orlando
In some Spanish-speaking cultures, sobremesa refers to the “conversation that happens at the table, usually after a meal”. It’s also the perfect concept for a team building idea in Orlando. Chef Maria Rivera will lead your team through a cooking lesson focusing on a beginner or advanced menu item, from sauces to puff pastries.
Her classes take place at several venues in Orlando, or she can come to your office or your Peerspace venue with a kitchen. One beautiful option is Palacia Dacha, an opulent home in Northeast Orlando. It is a more than 11,000-square-foot historic home with an amazing kitchen, dining space, and gardens to enjoy with your team.
