Top Spokane Group Activities & Offsite Excursions for Your Next Company Conference
When planning a company event in the Pacific Northwest, one of the first cities that often comes to mind is Seattle. Seattle is an iconic location in a beautiful setting, but let’s not forget the second largest city in Washington State, Spokane. With a personality all its own, Spokane offers a great variety of experiences and activities for your company event.
We promise that an event in Spokane is sure to deliver. So, without further ado, let’s share some of our favorite Spokane group activities and offsite adventures that are perfect for just about anyone on your attendee list.
Why Spokane is Perfect for Your Next Conference Offsite
Spokane is an ideal destination for conference offsites. Its well-connected downtown area makes planning and organizing outings simple, with everything just a short distance away. Plus, Spokane International Airport welcomes flights from across the country, with at least one flight arriving every 20 minutes, making it easy for attendees to get in and out.
Whether your group is looking for adventure or a relaxed setting to unwind, Spokane offers a variety of experiences that are perfect for team-building and post-conference excursions. Let’s take a look at our favorites.
Top 5 Spokane Group Activities & Excursions
- Spokane Falls
One of our favorite places for a team adventure is a group visit to the falls, and Spokane Falls will not disappoint. Spokane Falls Park can be enjoyed on foot or by air. It’s easy to find great viewing points for the waterfalls, and they make for a great stroll in Riverfront Park and around the city. If you’re bringing your team in for an event, dom’t let them leave without seeing the Falls near downtown Spokane. It’s always a favorite and guests can take as much time or as little time as they wish.
To fully take in the beauty of the falls, consider visiting the Place of Truths Plaza, which offers stunning views and a peaceful space to reflect. Huntington Park is another excellent option, providing closer access to the lower falls. For a more adventurous experience, take a walk on the pedestrian suspension bridges or enjoy a bird’s-eye view from the Spokane SkyRide.

Your itinerary will include at least one adventure perfect for the foodies in the group, one experience designed to help you appreciate the culture of Spokane and the Pacific Northwest and one low-stress physical activity. Whether it’s a hidden local gem or a surprise team-building challenge, your group is in for an exciting and unpredictable day that will leave everyone talking long after the event.
