Navigating Philadelphia
Philadelphia, known for its rich history and vibrant culture, offers a variety of neighborhoods perfect for hosting team building events. Center City is the heart of business activity, with Rittenhouse Square and the Avenue of the Arts providing sophisticated venues for indoor gatherings. Fishtown, with its trendy atmosphere and creative spaces, is another excellent choice for team events.

How we find and rank activities
Since 2013, we have hosted team building events for clients like Apple, Amazon, and Google, serving over 1,000,000 participants and earning 75,000+ five-star reviews across 45,000 bookings. In addition to our own events, we have helped hundreds of thousands of teams discover the best experiences for their goals, budgets, and preferences. Learn more about our history and expertise.
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 "Philadelphia team events" and "corporate outings Philadelphia" 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- Unclaimed Activities: Added by our research team, these listings may be outdated or incomplete.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.
