Fun Group Activities to Drop in the Group Chat This Week
The more, the merrier! Book in one of these fun group activities in Brisbane to make some memories with your best mates.
If you’re always in charge of making plans in the group chat and are stuck for new ideas, we’ve come to your aid. We’ve sourced a bunch of fun activities around Brisbane that are perfect for group get-togethers and even the odd team-building session.
From something a little sporty, to quieter, creative classes, we’ve found a fun variety of activities that will get you out and about in no time. From double dates to big group hangs, we’ve found all the best spots in town to try.
Now, the only thing left to do is to coordinate a date where everyone is free…
Hit Up a Padel Court
There’s a reason this fast-paced game has gained popularity over the last few years. If you haven’t yet had a chance to play, expect a more approachable take on tennis.
Best described as a mix of tennis and squash, Padel is played on an enclosed court one third of the size of a full tennis court. Fancy seeing what all the fuss is about? Get a group together and book a court and maybe book a pub for a pint after!
The Gap & Landers Pocket
Oche
Play darts like never before at Oche in Fortitude Valley! This modern darts bar has gamified boards to make the competition a touch more fierce the next time you’re hunting down something fun to do with a group of friends.
You’ll book your very own darts lane to share with your group (or perhaps two lanes, depending on how many pals you plan to play with), and from there you can choose from a variety of challenging darts games to play on a real dartboard. The steel tip darts look just like normal, but have state-of-the-art electronic components that set them apart.
You can order food and drink to your darts lane, so you don’t need to break up the fun.
111 Constance Street, Fortitude Valley
Maniax
Make sure you book this activity in with friends… not with frenemies.
At Maniax you’ll toss axes at a target board and test your hand-eye coordination whilst establishing whether you have any Viking blood running through your veins from a past life.
It’s a surprisingly cathartic way to blow off steam whilst engaging a little bit of friendly competition against your mates. You can order food and drinks to enjoy as you throw, there’s delightfully cheesy pizza and frosty cold beers on the menu to enjoy.
Multiple locations
Hijinx Hotel
If you haven’t yet checked out FunLab’s newest addition to the roster, we highly recommend booking in for a play (or should we say… stay) at Hijinx Hotel.
This interactive and high-energy games arcade at Westfield Chermside will release your inner child as you solve puzzles, identify mystery songs and shoot hoops as fast you can as you travel from room to room in the hotel with your group of pals.
Once you’ve tried all the rooms, pop out to the bar for some super fun cocktails and share a pizza.
Westfield Shopping Centre, Gympie Road, Chermside
Pottery Workshop at Mas & Miek
Gather the gang for a wholesome afternoon of getting your hands dirty at a pottery workshop at Mas & Miek.
You’ll sit at a shared table, shaping soft clay by hand, or trying your hand at the pottery wheel to craft a special piece to keep at home or to gift.
We recommend the ‘one-off’ workshop, which is beginner-friendly. You’ll learn to use the pottery wheel, and make three pieces to have glazed and fired for you to collect in a few weeks when they’re ready for you.
11 Byres Street, Newstead
X-Golf
There’s no need to be a pro golfer when it comes to this fun group activity! Gather your besties for a day out on the green… or should we say, above the green?
X-Golf takes golfing to the next level via state of the art simulators and pairing it with delicious snacks and drinks.
Get competitive with your pals as you play your way through different modes and settings, whilst keeping your taste buds satisfied with food and drinks that you can order right to your bay.
275 Grey Street, South Brisbane
Visit Deathrow Unchained
Looking for a meaningful way to spend your weekend? Why not drop a suggestion for Deathrow Unchained into your group chat?
You can travel out to this amazing animal rescue that saves abused and neglected animals of all kinds (they have over 180 animals in care), as they open to the public to help raise awareness for the work that they do.
Book in for a farm tour and feed some of the friendly cows, whilst learning more about the rescue and the pets that call this place home.
Your friends will love this weekend plan, knowing that their visit to this sanctuary helps save animals.
1374 Mt Cotton Road, Burbank
