7 Unique Group Outing Ideas for Friends, Families & Teams

Getting a group together should be fun. Finding something everyone actually wants to do? That's the hard part.

Whether you're organizing a birthday, planning a girls' day, putting together a team outing, or simply trying to get your friends together, the best group activities give everyone something to enjoy.

Here are seven ideas to consider for your next group outing.

1. Have a Selfie Day

Skip the traditional group photo and turn the entire outing into a photo experience.

Explore different sets, try new poses, use props, and let everyone create their own style. It's an easy way to combine an activity with memories you'll actually have pictures of.

2. Plan a Birthday Experience

Instead of spending an entire birthday sitting around a table, choose an activity that keeps guests moving and involved.

A photo experience works especially well for teen birthdays, adult birthdays, and groups looking for something different.

3. Plan a Girls' Day Out

Grab your friends, put together your favorite outfits, and make a day of it. Add lunch, shopping, or another Twin Cities activity before or after your visit.

And yes—take way too many pictures.

4. Try a Team Outing

Team-building doesn't always need to involve trust falls and awkward icebreakers.

An interactive experience gives coworkers an opportunity to relax, laugh, and spend time together outside the normal work environment.

5. Get the Family Together

Family photos don't have to mean everyone standing in front of the same backdrop.

Choose an experience where different generations can participate, create their own photos, and have fun together.

6. Make It a Date With Friends

Not every date has to be romantic.

Plan a double date, bring another couple, or turn an ordinary night with friends into an experience you'll actually remember.

7. Create Your Own Group Tradition

Maybe it's an annual birthday outing. A yearly friend photo. A holiday tradition. Or simply a reason to get everyone together.

The activity matters—but the tradition you create around it can matter even more.
