It’s spring! Soon enough, the winter blues will be long behind you as the warm spring air will motivate you to get out of the office and experience something fun.

Though it’s not quite rooftop season and spring in NYC can be a bit unpredictable, there are plenty of fun activities you and your team can incorporate into your next offsite or retreat.

Check out our Whisck approved activities perfect for team offsites in NYC:

Visit a museum

Sure you might live in one of the biggest cultural cities in the world, but how often do you take advantage of it? Take your team to one of the many museums New York City has to offer. Museums such as the Whitney or the MOMA have incredible rotating exhibitions. If your team consists of history enthusiasts take them to the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the American Museum of Natural History.

Although you may have to compete with school groups during the week, consider reaching out to the group booking contact for discounted tickets and VIP treatment.

Roller rink at Industry City

Think roller disco is a thing of the past? Think again. Roller skating is making a comeback and we’re here for it. Having opened recently, Dreamland Roller Rink in Industry City (Brooklyn) is an Instagrammers dream. The vibe is cool, staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Be sure to check out their party packages for an all-inclusive experience.

Take a hike

No, this isn’t us trying to be witty with our words, we actually mean embrace the outdoors and take a hike with your team. There are numerous places just outside of the city that are an easy train or car ride away. Our personal favorite? Breakneck Mountain in Cold Spring, NY. A simple hour and 15 minutes on the Metro-North will take you to a picturesque town that sits right on the Hudson. From there, you can take a 5-minute taxi or Lyft ride to the start of the trail. While the hike itself is a bit challenging, man are those views worth it. After you’ve worked up an appetite, be sure to grab a team lunch at one of the many quaint restaurants or cafes in town.

Spa day, anyone?

Nothing will snap you out of the winter blues more than a spa day. After a crazy Q1, a little team R&R is much needed. Among our favorite spas are: AIRE Ancient Baths (Tribeca), SoJo Spa (NJ), Heyday Facials (throughout Manhattan) and Shibui Spa at the Greenwich Hotel (Tribeca).

Flower Festivals

For those teams who want to fully embrace the arrival of spring, check out one of the many spring festivals such as The Sakura Matsuri Cherry Blossom Festival (Brooklyn), The Orchid Show (Bronx) and The Macy’s Flower Show (Midtown). While many of these are scheduled for the weekend, they are a fun way to experience the city’s offerings as a team.
