12 Fun Team Building Activities in Nashville for 2025
Nashville, Tennessee is widely known for its live music, but there are plenty of other attractions in the city that deserve to have their praises sung. In this post, we’ve compiled a list of twelve large group activities to do in Nashville that are actually fun – if not downright a blast. These activities are perfect way to fill out your itinerary to ensure you’ve properly gotten a feel for everything Nashville has to offer residents and visitors alike.
Eat at some of our favorite establishments in the city!
Believe it or not, Nashville excels at a lot more food options than just its Hot Chicken. But seeing is believing, and tasting is even better, which is why our top recommendation is doing the Sidewalk Food Tours.
These guided, customizable food tours take you on various stops throughout the Nashville food scene. And while yes, you can make sure you get a bite of Hot Chicken just to see what all the hubbub is about, you can also get a taste of Tennessee barbecue, southern fried chicken, mind blowing 100-layer doughnuts, and more. Whether your groups taste lien savory or sweet, hot or cold, Nashville has something to offer everyone’s tastebuds, and the Sidewalk Food Tours will prove it.

A hands-on cooking class!
No one said you had to limit your experience with Nashville food to eating. With the Sidewalk Cooking Classes, you and your group can move to the other side of the kitchen table. This activity includes a guided opportunity to create a mouth-watering dish for either lunch or dinner.
The experience can be as chill or as intense as your group desire, with the opportunity to have it as a regular class or a cooking competition – either standard style or Iron Chef-style. Cuisine options range from Nashville favorites to pasta, tacos, sushi, or pad thai.

3. Escape Room/Scavenger Hunt
What we like about Nashville is that some of these venues have taken the idea of escape room and run with it – and allowed visitors to do the same.
