Orlando has a reputation for being one of the best places in the world to play.
It’s also a fantastic place for work.
Whether your company is based in Central Florida or you’re visiting with your employees and peers from out of town, Orlando is the perfect place for team building that is memorable, effective, and fun.
Here are several team-building activities in Orlando to consider for your next corporate outing.
6 Unique Team-Building Activities in Orlando
Challenge Yourself at Gatorland and the Scream’ Gator Zip Line
Nothing says Florida quite like gators, and nothing says gators quite like Gatorland.
Affectionately known as “The Alligator Capital of the World”, over 2,000 American alligators call Gatorland home.
While a trip to Gatorland is a great way to entertain and treat your team, the park also offers corporate team building with their Screamin’ Gator Zip Line. Their multi-level zipline course stands nearly seven stories high and offers breathtaking views over the treetops.
Glide on lines ranging in length from 230 feet to 500 feet, soaring over the Alligator Breeding Marsh for an extra thrill.
Your employees will have the opportunity to challenge themselves and cheer on peers while building professional relationships and having fun.
Soar High at iFLY Orlando
iFLY is Orlando’s premier indoor skydiving facility.
Their state-of-the-art wind tunnels simulate the feeling of flying without the stomach-churning sensation of falling.
This experience will allow your team members to step outside of their comfort zones. Indoor skydiving is an inclusive activity open to individuals of all ages, genders, and abilities, and is a great way to offer everyone the opportunity to soar.
iFLY provides all the gear, training, and coaching you need for a successful indoor skydiving event. Food, beverage, and hospitality packages can also be arranged to take your team building to the next level.
Kayak One of Florida’s Beautiful Rivers
Exploring Florida’s lush ecosystems and wildlife is a great way to encourage team building and collaboration.
Wekiva Island is an indoor/outdoor recreation complex that has everything you need for an exceptional day of collaboration, bonding, and teamwork.
Rent kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards to take out onto the Wekiva River and experience Florida’s natural wilderness.
When you’re done adventuring, return to Wekiva Island to soak up the sun on their beautiful boardwalk overlooking the river and play games like cornhole and volleyball.
Treat your team to refreshing beverages from the bar, The Tootin’ Otter, and delicious food from the onsite food truck, Without a Paddle Cafe.
If you have business to attend to, Wekiva Island also has conference rooms and event spaces available to rent.
SAK Comedy Lab
SAK Comedy Lab is the city’s hottest improv club, located in the heart of downtown Orlando.
Their shows are fabulously entertaining and a great way to treat employees to an evening of side-splitting laughter.
You can also hire SAK Comedy Lab to conduct team building events with your group.
At its core, improv is about teamwork. In improv, the age-old principle of “Yes, and…” is the notion that the most creative and successful collaborations come from accepting one another’s ideas and adding onto them.
SAK Comedy Lab’s team building and training demonstrates how enhancing communication and tossing away your inhibitions can benefit individuals, teams, and ultimately, the businesses they support.

Nothing promotes problem solving and communication skills in a team than a common mission.
Combining immersive environments with exciting storytelling, escape rooms require collaboration, creative problem solving, and teamwork.

Each escape room serves up to 8 people at a time and multiple rooms can be reserved simultaneously for groups of up to 89 players.
