About Ottawa

With a population of over 1 million, Ottawa is home to numerous government agencies, tech companies like Shopify, and a vibrant community of startups, nonprofits, and small businesses. Key industries in Ottawa include technology, government services, healthcare, and education.
Thanks to its diverse landscape and rich cultural tapestry, Ottawa offers an impressive array of team building experiences. From engaging scavenger hunts through the historic ByWard Market to immersive escape rooms in downtown Ottawa, there is something for every team. You can explore culinary delights with food tours that highlight the city's multicultural cuisine or participate in hands-on cooking classes with local chefs. For those seeking an artistic touch, painting workshops and craft classes are available across the city. Whether you are planning a corporate retreat, an employee appreciation event, or a small team outing, Ottawa provides a wealth of group activities to suit every company culture and budget.
Navigating Ottawa
Ottawa, the vibrant capital of Canada, offers a diverse range of locations for team building events. The downtown core is bustling with business activity, with areas like the ByWard Market and Centretown providing excellent venues for indoor team building. The Glebe, known for its charming atmosphere and unique spaces, and Westboro, with its creative flair and stunning views of the Ottawa River, are also popular choices. For those seeking outdoor team building experiences, consider iconic spots like Parliament Hill, Major's Hill Park, or the scenic pathways along the Rideau Canal.
For small groups navigating the city, Ottawa's public transit system, OC Transpo, is both efficient and cost-effective. Rideshare apps or taxis are convenient for shorter distances. If you are organizing activities for a larger group, chartering a private bus or arranging for group transit passes can simplify transportation and ensure everyone stays on schedule.

How we find and rank activities

The team building experiences listed on this page are curated through a three-step process: hands-on research, AI-powered categorization, and algorithmic ranking.
First, our team scours the web with searches like "Ottawa team events" and "corporate outings Ottawa" to identify standout experiences and reputable vendors. We review websites, social profiles, and customer feedback to confirm that providers are active, highly rated, and suitable for professional groups.
Next, we use an OpenAI GPT model to sort experiences into categories like outdoor adventures, creative workshops, and uniquely local experiences. The system also estimates prices, durations, and group sizes. Our team reviews each entry before publication.
Finally, we sort activities into three tiers:
- Originals and Verified Activities: Originals are hosted by our in-house team and include top-rated events, new releases, and exclusive formats. Verified Activities are offered by partner businesses that receive support from us and have 100% verified reviews. These vendors pay a flat monthly listing fee and receive premium placement.
- Claimed Activities: These listings have been reviewed and updated by the vendor. Claimed listings receive moderate visibility but lack some premium features like embedded videos, agendas, or verified reviews.
- Unclaimed Activities: Added by our research team, these listings may be outdated or incomplete. Unclaimed listings appear lower in search results and do not include reviews.
Within each tier, activities are ranked using our proprietary Team Building Score (TBS), which factors in:
- Quantity and quality of verified reviews
- Source of ratings (e.g. company size)
- Location and ease of access
- Price, duration, and group capacity
- Profile completeness
- A custom blend of data signals and semantic analysis
Rankings refresh daily. We regularly update the algorithm, add new activities, remove outdated ones, and review listings flagged by the community to ensure you always see the best options available.
