Nothing brings people together quite like taking other people down. Test your team’s knowledge by hitting up an LA trivia event – especially if you can find one based on a topic, show, or movie that your group knows (or thinks they know.) Foster camaraderie as you all fight to decipher answers and leave the venue with a grand prize.
Use your problem-solving skills!
4. Escape Rooms
Gather a team of people you think you wouldn’t mind being locked in a room with – and actually test it out. Escape rooms are a great way to have fun and build team collaboration as you work through puzzles and decipher hints to fight your way out of a fun, themed room – such as ones based on Atlantis, the pyramids, or even futuristic cyberpunk worlds.

What a beaut!
7. Griffith Observatory
Griffith Observatory is a fun hike that can function as a cost effective team building tour in and of itself. What’s particularly great about it is that you don’t need someone to coordinate the trip. Dress for the weather, bring your water bottles, and then enjoy the hiking, planetarium, and maybe even star party – depending on when your team visits.
Try a sampling!
8. Brewery
Hold it! This isn’t about getting drunk. Well, it’s not only about getting drunk. Breweries can also provide plenty of knowledge about the brewing process, along with teaching history and culture when it comes to different types of beer and how they relate to LA. Call your favorite place or ask around to turn a trip to a brewery into a fun and educational experience for your team.
The gardens make for a stunning backdrop!
9. Getty Center
There are a lot of great things about the Getty Center. Firstly, admission is free. Secondly, it’s more than just a museum –you can get food and drinks and shop. Third: walking through it is like traveling back through time. You and your team will be exposed to art styles from different ages and different countries around the world. The blend of culture and arts makes it an experience where there’s truly something for everyone.
Super fun!
10. Minigolf
You really can’t go wrong with minigolf, but LA shows that only a few places know how to go right. There are glow-in-the-dark courses, indoor and outdoor courses, themed courses and more. All you have to do is decide how many holes you and your team want, and then you can go to town.
Laser tag is something for all ages!
11. Laser Tag
If there’s a better way to build a team than shooting each other with lasers, we don’t want to hear it. Los Angeles has plenty of laser tag options where you and your group can either split into teams or play free-for-all’s where you can hide, tackle courses, and see who can score the most points against the others.
How stunning!
12. Glassblowing
For a truly unique experience, consider taking your team to a glassblowing showcase or lesson. There’s nothing quite as mind blowing as watching the art and craft of shaping glass. Plus, depending on the venue, your team might be able to leave with some custom or unique creations to become fixtures in your homes.
A trip through Los Angeles can be an absolute blast, so long as you’re willing to check out some of its less renowned options. If you and your team keep an open mind, you’re pretty much guaranteed to have an experience worth capturing on camera.
