Why Toronto works for team events
- Two downtown-accessible airports. Fly into Pearson (YYZ) with a 25-minute UP Express rail link to Union Station; Billy Bishop (YTZ) sits on the island just ~3 km from the core with a quick shuttle or a pedestrian tunnel connection.
- Indoor routes in any weather. The PATH pedestrian network spans 30+ km under the financial district—perfect for inclement-weather hunts and clue drops.
- Venue depth at every scale. From the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (77 meeting rooms; 442k sq. ft. exhibit space) to adaptive-reuse gems like Evergreen Brick Works (Pavilions up to 1,400 capacity) and cultural hubs along the waterfront.
- Large, diverse talent base. The City’s “At a Glance” shows ~3.0M residents (2022) within city limits and a strong regional economy, ideal for offsites with local facilitators and partners.
Signature Experiences (Toronto-ready)
1) Toronto City Hunt (1–3 hrs)
A fast-moving, phone-assisted hunt mixing micro-puzzles, photo prompts, and location reveals through Union Station, PATH connectors, and safe waterfront segments. Weather-proof variant runs almost entirely indoors via PATH (great in winter).
2) Marble Run (2–3 hrs)
Sustainability-themed design challenge as teams prototype physical contraptions that blend creativity with constraints.
3) Harbourfront Innovation Sprint (90–120 mins)
Rapid ideation + pitching format steps from the lake. Ideal for product or CX teams; pairs well with an evening reception overlooking the water at Harbourfront Centre venues.
4) High Park Field Day (2 hrs)
Lightly active outdoor stations (strategy relays, problem-solving games) among lawns and trails; fall foliage and spring blooms make for standout team photos. Permit/insurance requirements apply for larger setups.
5) Distillery District Creative Quest (2 hrs)
Story-led route through cobblestone lanes and galleries in the Distillery Historic District; great for artisan-themed clues and photography challenges.

Logistics & Permits

- Weather plan: We design an indoor backup (e.g., PATH routes, venue meeting rooms) for every outdoor booking. (City of Toronto)
- Air/rail access: UP Express (approx. 25 min) connects YYZ ↔ Union Station; YTZ sits minutes from downtown via shuttle or tunnel/walk. (mtccc.com)

- Fall (Sep–Oct): Comfortable weather + foliage; a favorite for hunts and mixed indoor/outdoor formats.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can you handle?

What’s a good Toronto team building company?
There are many team building companies. Teamland is founded in Toronto.
Do we need a permit for parks?
For structured activities in City parks, many groups will require a permit and proof of $2M insurance naming the City as additional insured. We’ll guide you through it.
What happens if it rains or snows?
We’ll switch to a pre-planned indoor variant—often via PATH—so the experience still runs smoothly.
We’re flying in—what’s the easiest arrival plan?
UP Express from YYZ → Union Station (~25 min) or YTZ’s quick shuttle/tunnel to the core; we’ll cluster venues within a short walk to minimize transfers.
Can you host at our office or hotel?

Do you offer accessible routes?
Absolutely. We plan routes and challenges that work with mobility needs and provide alternatives for stairs, distance, and timing.
