AUGUST 19, 2024

Team-building exercises are crucial for lifting morale and improving communication skills among team members. At Hilton Universal, we’re excited to support your team’s work trip with our versatile conference venues in Los Angeles and a variety of engaging team-building activities just steps from our meeting spaces. We strive to be among the best hotels with venue spaces by offering a variety of both indoor and outdoor meeting venues in Los Angeles. Beyond our exceptional facilities, we provide the opportunity for exciting activities just outside our doors to enhance your team’s experience.

1. POTTERY CLASS

A pottery class is a fantastic way to boost team spirit! You’ll not only craft a unique piece to bring home but also get to unleash your creativity with your co-workers and maybe even discover some hidden artistic talents. The Potter’s Nook, just a 10-minute drive from the Hilton Universal, offers both indoor and outdoor classes. Plus, they’re pros at hosting private events tailored for corporate team-building. It’s a fun and creative way to bond with your team!

2. HORSEBACK RIDING

Experience the Hollywood Hills like never before—on horseback! Sunset Ranch Hollywood invites you to enjoy unforgettable horseback riding tours with stunning views of LA. Gather your team and ride through scenic trails, with options for day tours or magical evening rides at sunset. Choose from a variety of trails on their website, and get ready to saddle up and embrace the spirit of the Wild West. Don’t forget to pack your cowboy hat for this adventure!

3. COOKING CLASS

Cooking classes are an excellent way to get creative with your team and collaborate on creating delicious dishes! Cook LA, located just outside Universal Studios, is the perfect spot for this activity. They offer a variety of team-building challenges, including the Iron Chef challenge, where teams compete to create the best dish using mystery ingredients. Other exciting options include the pizza challenge, cupcake or cake wars, and worldwide cooking challenges. These activities not only foster teamwork but also add a dash of friendly competition! After your cooking adventure, enhance your experience by utilizing our event spaces for further team-building activities.

4. ESCAPE ROOM

Engaging in an Escape Room is the ultimate team-building activity, offering a fun and unique way to problem-solve together. It’s a fantastic opportunity for your team to enhance communication and build connections while working towards a common goal under pressure. Escape rooms are designed for groups, making coordination super simple. We recommend visiting Exit Artists Escape Rooms, just outside Universal City. Get your adrenaline pumping and see if your team can escape before time runs out!

5. GO KART RACING

Last but definitely not least, we dare you to take on your coworkers in an epic go-kart race! It’s not just a blast, but also a chance to engage in some playful competition and flee your hotel meeting space. You are bound to share some laughs as you dodge, weave, and maybe even cut someone off (all in good fun, of course) on the track! K1 Speed, just a few minutes away, has private corporate events with catering options, so you can race hard and refuel all in one place. Get ready for a high-speed showdown and a lot of fun!
