Melbourne gives teams plenty of ways to get out of the usual work environment and do something together. From CBD laneways and riverside precincts to parks, offices and conference spaces, there are locations and experiences to suit just about every kind of team.

At Team Days, we help Melbourne teams find an experience that suits their people, their location and what they want everyone to get out of the day.

Choosing the Right Team-Building Activity

Start with your team.

For groups that enjoy some friendly competition, experiences like an Amazing Race, Mystery Race, Survivor Challenge or Game Show can bring plenty of energy to the day.

If you’re looking for something more creative and collaborative, Brick Masters or Graffiti Art give teams a shared challenge without making physical ability a factor.

For larger or mixed groups, look for activities that offer different ways to contribute. Problem-solving, creative challenges, communication and competition can all play a part, giving different personalities an opportunity to get involved.

Most importantly, choose something your team will actually enjoy doing together.

Team Building for Groups Big and Small

The size of your group can help narrow down the right team-building experience.

Smaller teams often suit activities where everyone can work closely together, while larger groups benefit from experiences that split participants into teams and keep plenty of people involved at the same time.

At Team Days, we work with everything from smaller workplace teams to large corporate groups and conference events with hundreds of participants. Experiences can be matched to your group size, available space and the style of event you’re planning.

Take Your Team Building Outdoors

Melbourne is a great city for getting teams outside, with parks, riverside spaces and city precincts all within easy reach of the CBD.

An Amazing Race or Mystery Race can turn Melbourne’s streets, laneways and landmarks into part of the experience, while Survivor challenges and outdoor team games are ideal when you have more open space. For something creative, a Graffiti Art experience taps into a side of Melbourne the city is famous for.

Great Outdoor Team-Building Locations in Melbourne

Birrarung Marr – A central riverside location between the CBD and Melbourne’s sporting precinct, with open spaces that work well for hosted team challenges.

Docklands – Waterfront spaces, wide promenades and plenty of room to move make Docklands a convenient option for teams based on the western side of the CBD.

Flagstaff Gardens – One of Melbourne’s most central green spaces and a convenient option for CBD teams wanting to get outside without travelling far.

Carlton Gardens – Historic gardens and open lawns close to the CBD provide an impressive backdrop for outdoor team activities.

Royal Botanic Gardens & The Domain – Expansive parklands close to Southbank and the CBD provide plenty of space for teams to get outdoors in one of Melbourne’s most recognisable green precincts.

Bring Team Building to Your Office

Sometimes the easiest location is the one you’re already in. Team Days can bring professionally hosted experiences directly to offices, conference spaces and venues across Melbourne.

Experiences such as Game Show, Brick Masters, Escape the Box and other hosted team challenges can transform an office or meeting space into the setting for your team day.

It’s a particularly useful option when you want to bring everyone together without adding travel to the day, or when team building forms part of a wider meeting, planning day or company event.

Team Building with a Purpose

A Team Day can also be an opportunity to give something back.

Our CSR team-building activities combine collaboration and shared challenges with a positive community outcome. Teams can work together towards something meaningful while still enjoying the interaction, problem-solving and connection you’d expect from a great team-building experience.

They’re particularly well suited to organisations looking to bring their values, people and community initiatives together as part of a conference, company day or wider CSR program.

Add Team Building to Your Melbourne Conference

Melbourne has no shortage of great conference and corporate event locations, from the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) at South Wharf to major hotels and event spaces throughout the CBD, Docklands and Southbank.

You’ll also find some more distinctly Melbourne settings, including corporate event spaces at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, giving teams plenty of options beyond the traditional conference room.

Team Days can bring a Game Show, Brick Masters or another hosted challenge directly into your conference venue, or take everyone outside for an Amazing Race or Mystery Race through the surrounding city.

It’s a great way to break up the agenda, get delegates mixing with different people and bring some energy back into the room.

Make Melbourne Part of the Experience

Your location doesn’t have to be somewhere your team simply meets before the activity starts.

Melbourne’s laneways, street art, parks, riverside precincts and landmarks can become part of the team day itself.

For CBD teams, that might mean racing through Melbourne’s streets and laneways, getting creative with Graffiti Art, or exploring the city as part of a Mystery Race. For larger groups, it could mean heading to one of the city’s parks for some friendly competition.

Or you can keep things simple and have Team Days bring a professionally hosted experience directly to your workplace or venue.

Whatever you choose, the aim is the same: get people away from their usual routine, interacting with each other and enjoying some time together as a team.
