Sydney gives teams plenty of ways to get out of the usual work environment and do something together. From harbour-side parks and iconic city precincts to offices, conference spaces and local venues, there’s no shortage of places to bring a team together.

At Team Days, we help Sydney 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

A good place to start is with your team.

For groups that love some friendly competition, experiences like an Amazing 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 gives 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 can 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

One of Sydney’s biggest advantages is the number of outdoor spaces within easy reach of its major business precincts.

An Amazing Race can turn the city itself into part of the experience, with teams exploring streets, landmarks and waterfront precincts as they tackle challenges along the way.

For activities that need more open space, such as Survivor-style challenges and outdoor team games, Sydney also has some fantastic parks and green spaces.

Great Outdoor Team-Building Locations in Sydney

The Rocks & Circular Quay
Laneways, landmarks and harbour views make this one of Sydney’s most distinctive locations for an Amazing Race or city-based team challenge.

Barangaroo
Modern waterfront spaces and easy CBD access make Barangaroo a great option for teams based around Wynyard, Barangaroo and the western side of the city.

Hyde Park
Right in the heart of the CBD, Hyde Park provides green space without taking your team far from the office.

Centennial Parklands
When you need more room to move, Centennial Parklands offers large open spaces that work particularly well for hosted outdoor challenges and bigger groups.

The Domain & Royal Botanic Garden Precinct
Green space, harbour views and proximity to the CBD make this part of Sydney a great backdrop for getting teams outdoors.

Parramatta Park
Teams based in Western Sydney don’t need to head into the CBD. Parramatta Park provides plenty of open space close to one of Sydney’s major business centres.

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 Sydney.

Experiences such as Game Show, Brick Masters 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.

Add Team Building to Your Sydney Conference

Sydney has some fantastic conference and corporate event venues, from large-scale convention spaces to waterfront venues and CBD hotels.

ICC Sydney in Darling Harbour is one of the city’s major conference destinations, while Doltone House Darling Island and Doltone House Jones Bay Wharf offer waterfront event spaces around Pyrmont. Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour and Hyatt Regency Sydney are also well positioned for corporate events in and around the CBD and Darling Harbour.

Team building can easily become part of the conference agenda. Rather than another session spent sitting in a conference room, an interactive activity gives delegates an opportunity to move, mix with different people and connect outside their usual work groups.

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 through nearby precincts such as Darling Harbour, Barangaroo or the CBD.

It’s a great way to change the pace of the day, get delegates interacting and make the wider Sydney location part of the conference experience.

Make Sydney Part of the Experience

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

Sydney’s parks, harbour, streets and landmarks can become part of the team day itself.

For CBD teams, that might mean racing through an iconic Sydney precinct. For larger groups, it could mean taking over a section of parkland 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.

If it’s action you’re after, your group might opt to take to the track with Go Karting - one of the most in-demand activities among thrill-seeking and competitive teams. Take your pick from a selection of indoor and outdoor tracks, boasting single and dual-drive karts, high speed circuits and a range of challenges to test your team.
