Looking for team building activities in Los Angeles? Keep reading. We’ve included 8 of the best in this list.
Let’s take a look!
1. A Los Angeles scavenger hunt
If you’re looking for a team-building activity that requires strategy and collaboration, then a Los Angeles scavenger hunt is a good choice. LA is conducive to this type of activity, thanks to its many iconic neighborhoods, curious destinations, and points of interest.
A couple of popular scavenger hunt destinations in the city are Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, but LA is a big place: Other cool locations include Venice Beach Boardwalk, Downtown LA, and Tinseltown’s theater district.
Regardless of where you go, team scavenger hunts require your team to problem-solve, communicate, and be creative. Scavenger hunts are excellent for engaging your team in a positive way.

2. A bucket list Hollywood tour
Ready to tick off your Hollywood bucket list? Then, a Hollywood Tour is the way to go. From the Hollywood Sign to the Walk of Fame to the historic TCL Chinese Theatre, exploring Hollywood is a lot of fun and great for team building.
LA, generally, is an incredible place to explore with a team. The near-perfect weather and endlessly photogenic locales certainly have something to do with it. Moreover, there is something to be said about team experiences outside the office, whether you’re celebrating a company achievement or a promotion or you simply want to have a great time.
Every team in Los Angeles needs to change things up every now and then, and what better way to do so than by exploring one of the most famous areas in the world?
3. A Beverly Hills culinary tour
Food tours are nice. Indeed, no list of Los Angeles team building activities would be complete without them. Now, Los Angeles has a handful of excellent districts and neighborhoods where you can find top-of-the-line restaurants and venues. Some of these include Little Tokyo, Silver Lake, and Koreatown.
We’re quite biased toward Beverly Hills, which offers a chance to explore the renowned Rodeo Drive district and famous venues like The Farm Beverly Hills, 208 Rodeo, Bouchon Bistro by Thomas Keller, and Sprinkles Cupcakes.
PS Our tour recommendation is the Taste of Beverly Hills Tour. It’s the perfect option for teams that love delicious food and a positive atmosphere.
4. A Hollywood Sign hiking tour
A hike to the Hollywood Sign offers a look at one of the most iconic places in the world while you enjoy LA’s warm and welcome sunshine (except for LA’s rare rainy days). The area surrounding the Hollywood Sign is rugged and beautiful and well worth visiting!
While it depends on the company you book with, a Hollywood Sign hiking tour is usually guided by an experienced Los Angeles resident. Their job is to take you and your team on scenic paths that offer increasingly spectacular views as you climb. At various points along the hike, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of Downtown Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Mountains, and more.
Tours are also available that take you directly above the Hollywood Sign itself. You can get up close and take photos, which is really cool! Popular local routes include Mt. Hollywood Trail and Brush Canyon Trail, although we at Another Side Tours are very fond of Lake Hollywood Reservoir Walking Trail.
A Hollywood Sign hiking tour is a must-try team-building activity for any team that enjoys the outdoors. It’s a fantastic way to connect with coworkers and build better work relationships.
5. A Runyon Canyon hiking tour
Another great hiking destination for your team building activity is Runyon Canyon Park, which is one of Los Angeles’ most popular natural areas.
The park spans 160 acres and offers various trails for different fitness levels, making it suitable for team building activities. Hikers enjoy paths that wind through LA’s beautiful rugged landscape, up to scenic overlooks with views of the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, and the LA skyline.
Whether tackling a challenging incline or taking a gentler path, a hike through Runyon Canyon is a great team building activity.
6. The Amazing Chase
The Amazing Chase is a professionally produced Scavenger Hunt in which you and your team solve puzzles, tackle physical challenges, and explore the local area.
This is not your typical scavenger hunt, as each Amazing Chase experience requires your team to solve 20 clues, including trivia, photo, and video challenges while riding a Segway or e-bike.
The Amazing Chase can accommodate any group size, although groups smaller than eight generally compete as one team. Larger groups split into two (or more) teams and work together to solve clues and find the answers first.
The Amazing Chase builds teamwork, communication, and creativity in a novel way, and it’s highly recommended for your next team building activity in Los Angeles!
7. A Segway tour through Santa Monica and Venice Beach
If you’re looking for an active team-building experience without the scavenger hunt, then a Segway tour through Santa Monica and Venice Beach is an amazing choice.
Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach Boardwalk, in particular, are fantastic areas and well worth the overall tour experience. They’re loaded with some of the coolest things you’ll see in the Los Angeles area, such as Pacific Park’s Ferris wheel, incredible street performances, and Muscle Beach.
While it depends on the company, generally, your group will receive hands-on training so that everyone feels confident riding their Segway. Most people usually adjust comfortably to the Segway within a couple of minutes.
8. An e-bike tour through Santa Monica and Venice Beach
A lot of people prefer e-bikes over Segways. If that’s you, then an e-bike tour through Santa Monica and Venice Beach is the way to go.
What makes this activity particularly suited for teams is the casual, low-pressure setting. Moreover, e-bikes are generally accessible to riders, from casual riders to cycling enthusiasts, making them a welcome option for most team-building activities.
However, a Beverly Hills Food Tour is a fantastic alternative if some of your team members have mobility or other challenges.
