Finding an appropriate outing to suit the whole family or a large group of friends is often quite difficult. With people of varying ages and tastes and abilities, it can certainly be a challenge finding an activity that will please everyone. But what can one do? Catching up with family and friends is so enjoyable. Luckily, there are some great options out there that everyone is sure to enjoy. Getting outdoors and enjoying what your city has to offer can be highly rewarding and very enjoyable.
Picnic in the Park
This is a fairly obvious choice for both family and/or friends but often it is easy to forget about the many beautiful parks that your city has to offer. If the weather is nice then meet for a picnic at any number of parks across the city. Be it a small local park or a larger city garden, it is such a relaxing way enjoy each other's company and take some time to enjoy the beauty of nature. Get everyone to bring a dish of food for a simple, fresh picnic in the sun. Every age group will love a day out like this. This might seem like an odd choice for a corporate event but on a warm summers night, instead of Friday night drinks in the office, why don't you consider a late picnic in the park, something different from the standard office or a bar will definitely be appreciated.
A Day at the Beach
This is such a popular activity. Try and organise this outing far in advance so that everyone knows when it is and can join in, often you might have to drive an hour or so to get to a really nice beach away from the city. Then you can relax and really enjoy yourselves in the sand and surf. Be prepared and pack all that you will need for the whole day, you might even like to make a weekend of it. The beauty of a day at the beach is that there are a range of relaxing and exciting activities that you can do in the one place. Whether it's beach cricket, swimming in the waves, exploring rock pools, walking or relaxing with a book, everyone will enjoy this day together. This might be too hard to coordinate for a large corporate event but could be a great company initiative for team bonding with a 'bring your family to the beach' theme with lunch and transport provided. Employees are sure to like this unique idea.
Go Karting
This may be something you had not considered but you should definitely think about a day of go karting fun. Most large cities are likely to have two or three go karting facilities to choose from and some are more suited to large groups than others but what can be guaranteed is that everyone will love the excitement and the challenge of go karting.
Go karting adheres to strict safety rules and is enjoyed by all ages from young to old. Your track should provide you with all the required safety equipment such as jumpsuits and helmets. On a day with pleasant weather, an outdoor track s definitely preferable, often tracks will have viewing areas so that even if you aren't racing, you can still watch the fun unfold.
A good track should have a range of different powered karts, slower ones for the kids and faster ones for adults seeking a bit more of a thrill. Your track should be big, wide and have a number of challenging S curves, sharp corners and long straights so you can go fast.
Go karting corporate events are becoming increasingly popular for the fun, excitement, team building and bonding that they encourage in workplaces. Go karting venues will often have catering available, kitchen facilities, or a cafe; the good ones should have a barbeque that you can hire so you can spend a good amount of time and bring your own food on the day. Some tracks even have night time racing and great value packages available to make your day cost efficient. This is a great option for your gatherings and something different to the norm.
Country Escapes
Do some research and take the opportunity to get out of the city and enjoy the surrounding country. The more you look, the more you will find; country towns and regions have so much to offer and you are sure to find something to fill your day with. Getting away from the usual routine is a great way to share experiences and bond with family and friends and you should always try and get to know your state or country better.
A wine tasting day in the country is one of the more popular corporate event ideas. It offers a great chance to get out of the normal office environment as the combination of beautiful countryside, quality wine and time spent away from work is great for nurturing friendships rather than just 'working relationships.'
