10 Super Fun Team-Building Activities in Atlanta

Locals know it as the city where you can grab world-class barbecue at lunchtime and catch a gallery opening in Castleberry Hill by night. 

Whether you’re a startup crew looking to loosen up or an established squad aiming for a fresh spark, Atlanta has your back.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill team-building activity guide. We’re talking adrenaline rushes, belly laughs, and flavors that’ll dance on your tongue long after you’re finished.

1. Roast Your Boss: Improv Comedy Sessions

They say laughter is the best medicine, and for a team, it’s a fantastic bonding tool. Atlanta’s iconic Dad’s Garage Theatre hosts interactive improv workshops where your team becomes part of the act. These sessions encourage creativity and collaboration, turning shyness into self-expression.

Want to roast your colleagues with your newly acquired skills? Take your jokes and your team to Healium Center’s cozy Basement Den, where the stage is set for an epic open mic! 

Snort, gasp, and make memories together that last much longer than your job! Just kidding!

2. Rolling Through ATL: Guided Bike Tours

If you like going the extra mile at work, you’ll love pedaling through miles of art and history.

Nothing beats exploring the ATL on two wheels. Guided bike tours take your team through the Beltline’s vivid murals, Sweet Auburn’s historical landmarks, and the lush Oakland Cemetery. And while you’re at Oakland Cemetery, don’t forget to leave a golf ball at Bobby Jones’ grave. It’s tradition!

Cap off this activity-filled day with bites around the bonfire at Healium Center’s Outdoor Bonfire Area. Swap stories over beer around the crackling fire, enjoy some Southern grill, or take it indoors to the adjacent Blue Room. 

3. Killer Fun: Axe Throwing Adventures

Few activities spark camaraderie, like a little friendly axe-throwing competition. 

Atlanta’s axe-throwing spots like Bad Axe Throwing offer a safe yet fun way to blow off steam. These spaces provide expert guidance to make sure everyone feels like a pro. 

It’s equal parts exciting and stress-relieving!

To continue the adrenaline rush, why not catch a Braves game if they’re in town? Local baseball fans love going to The Battery on game days for great food, live entertainment, games, and more.

Whether it’s axes or bats, you’ll cover all the bases for an epic day out in Atlanta!

4. Feast and Flourish: Culinary Tours

Take your team on a gastronomic journey through Ponce City Market, sampling everything from artisanal tacos to Southern fried chicken, or explore Inman Park’s Modern Southern Food Tour, which pairs mouthwatering bites with fascinating local stories. For an extra challenge, try a team charcuterie competition or a sommelier-led wine tasting.

Check out the award-winning Food Tours Atlanta to sample and support the community’s finest locally-owned restaurants.

You’ll probably want to burn some calories after the food fest, right? How do ping pong battles in a church-themed bar sound? You won’t want to miss Sister Louisa’s Church of the Living Room & Ping Pong Emporium—where you can wrap up the evening with sinful cocktails and church-organ karaoke. Hallelujah!

5. Escape the Rut: And Escape the Room

Escape rooms test your team’s problem-solving skills under pressure. Atlanta’s offerings range from the hip-hop-themed Trap Music Museum to immersive challenges at The Escape Game in The Battery. These rooms require communication, strategy, and trust—key ingredients for a strong team dynamic.

If you’d like to do more escaping, take the GOGO Party buses around town and dance till you drop or get dropped off!

6. Don’t Laugh, Bray: Laughter Yoga

Led by Celeste Greene, laughter yoga is a treat for the senses (and for the passers-by). Teams participate in group exercises that lower stress and boost morale—no yoga mats required. 

It’s a riotous choice for breaking tension, building bonds, and getting some great candid photos for your LinkedIn (boring white-background photos are so 2021). 

And bonus points if you do this at a public park like the Piedmont Park or the Centennial Olympic Park where fun events happen all year round and you can book something right after your session.

7. Brews and Bonding: Atlanta’s Breweries

Start your brewery adventure at Wild Heaven Beer in Decatur, and don’t miss their Emergency Drinking Beer, a local favorite. Next, head to Monday Night Brewing in West Midtown, where award-winning ales pair perfectly with team trivia nights—nothing says “teamwork” like dominating the leaderboard. Wrap up the crawl at Mutation Brewing Company in Sandy Springs, where you can sip experimental beers while bonding over beer pong, oversized Jenga, or just good conversation.

End the day at Boxwood Social Hall in Marietta, a spacious venue ideal for large groups looking to wind down together. With its lively atmosphere and plenty of room to mingle, it’s the perfect way to toast to a successful team-building day.  

After all, a brewery crawl in the ATL isn’t just a pub hop—it’s a rite of passage.

8. Scavenger Hunt along the Beltline

Take your team on an artistic scavenger hunt along the Atlanta Beltline. 

This dynamic corridor is packed with murals, sculptures, and those iconic tiny doors that spark curiosity and creativity. Your team will discover hidden gems while fostering collaboration and teamwork. Combine this with local stories from guides who know the Beltline inside out.

End the day at Hotel Clermont’s rooftop venue with stellar views of the city; not to be confused with the city’s oldest strip club, the iconic Clermont Lounge, which operates in the same building. Now, here’s a hotel with character and a famous namesake!

9. Lights, Camera, Bonding: Private Screenings

Book a private screening at the Plaza Theatre, Atlanta’s longest continually operating cinema. Choose an inspiring film or a team favorite, then discuss takeaways in a nearby venue.

Marietta Venue is perfect for larger groups, while Content Penthouse offers a chill setting for post-screening cocktails and conversations. 

We have a bonus tip for you if you are a Stranger Things fan. The whole series was filmed in Atlanta and you can check out this guide to Stranger Things filming locations if you want to do a themed treasure hunt or just pay these places a visit.

10. Outdoors and Adrenaline 

For a high-octane and exclusive team-building experience, head to the Porsche Experience Center. Teams can race on tracks, test their reflexes, and even design their dream car. 

But there’s a catch: every team member should be able to pronounce Porsche correctly to participate. If you butcher the pronunciation, you’re out. 

We’re joking! As long as you have a driver’s license, you don’t need correct pronunciation.

Catch your breath with a chill garden party at The Wren’s Nest, or opt for a wild dance night at Domaine Atlanta. 

Team up!

Team building in Atlanta is anything but ordinary. Where else can you race Porsches, hunt for tiny doors on the Beltline, go Stranger Things location hunting, or drink at a church-themed bar—all in one day? Whether your crew is conquering escape rooms or swapping stories at Ponce City Market, Atlanta turns every activity into an adventure. So rally the team, grab some peach cobbler (it’s a must), and dive headfirst into a city that knows how to marry history, culture, and pure fun.
