Are you a company leader or Human Resources manager looking for new ways to infuse a little team-building fun into your workplace culture? Today’s employees are more productive and feel rewarded when employers take the necessary steps to incorporate R&R. And if you’re in New York City, you have a slew of team-building options to consider. Here are some brilliant NYC ideas for events and team-building.
Book a Museum Tour for Your Teams
Bring some culture to your company environment by booking museum tours for your staff. There are a host of educational and inspirational museum experiences throughout New York, including the Met and American Museum of Natural History. And they offer “museum hacks” specifically designed for team-building activities. Inquire about creating fun and competitive challenges, including charades, ice-breakers, and games.

Make a Pizza on the Lower East Side
Nothing brings a team together quite like food. And when you’re in New York, there’s only one food the group can agree on – New York-style pizza. So, schedule a staff day out at Pizza School NYC, where teams can make their own pies and have a great time in the kitchen. Maybe even cook up some friendly competition where the team leaders and managers get judged on their pizza creations!
Take a Brew and Distillery Tour
There are plenty of historical breweries and distillery tours throughout NYC. And booking a day to sample, relax, and learn about some of the area’s tastiest beverages might be just what your employees need to recharge.

Get your jump on at Fly High, for example, NYC’s first indoor trampoline park, perfect for groups. There’s a main court, a flying foam pit, a bungee slingshot, and a dunk zone – perfect for employees who need to get their heads out of their work for a little exercise and high-energy, bouncing fun.
