Your next team retreat in nature

Stepping out of the office can transform the way teams think and work together. The Maali, located within the grounds of the Perth Zoo, offers an alternative to standard meeting rooms. Surrounded by greenery and filled with natural light, it provides an atmosphere that encourages collaboration. The venue’s combination of indoor and outdoor areas creates a relaxed yet professional environment that supports meaningful interaction and discussion.

Why offsite connection matters

Time away from the workplace is a break in routine and an opportunity to share new ideas and strengthen relationships in a setting that feels open and balanced. When teams are immersed in a calm environment, communication flows more naturally and group dynamics improve. The Maali’s surroundings help teams reconnect, think clearly and return to work with renewed motivation and a shared sense of direction.

Five corporate team-building ideas

Mindful mornings in the gardens

Begin the day surrounded by nature. Guided breathwork or light meditation in the courtyard helps participants reset their focus and prepare for the day ahead. The quiet energy of the space creates calm and clarity, setting a positive tone for what follows.

Discovery and Learning Team-Building Experience

Encourage teamwork through a tailored scavenger-style challenge designed and facilitated by Perth Zoo’s Discovery and Learning team. Small groups work together to solve clues, complete activities and reach a shared goal across the zoo grounds. The experience builds communication and problem-solving skills while offering a light, enjoyable way to connect. Finish the adventure with a shared team lunch back at The Maali.

Chef’s table connection lunch

A relaxed buffet-style lunch designed to complement your half or full day conference at The Maali. Served between sessions, it offers space for teams to recharge and connect over a shared meal. With fresh, seasonal dishes and a flexible format, it’s an ideal break to encourage conversation and collaboration in a more informal setting.

Twilight tasting and reflection

Finish the day with an outdoor tasting among the gardens. As the light softens, gather your team to share insights and enjoy a calm moment of reflection. This supports authentic connection and gives everyone time to absorb the experience before returning to work life.
