What Brings You Here?

Corporate and Nonprofit Teambuilding & Retreats 
Play is personal, like a fingerprint.

And on any team, you've got a room full of completely different ones. The Creator who wants to make something. The Mover who needs to get out of their chair. The Dreamer who's already three steps ahead in their head.

 

Our experiences are designed to work for everyone, so nobody ends up sitting on the sidelines wondering when it'll be over. Find your style.

Private Groups & Community Events
For friends, families, and curious humans.

From birthdays and date nights to group hangouts and workshops, Pop CoLab is a place to make, play, learn, and laugh together.

Facilitators & Experience Partners
For people who bring ideas to life.

A home for facilitators, artists, and experience-makers to collaborate, host workshops, and grow alongside a creative community.

Play With Purpose

Three things happen every time you walk through our doors.

You connect with others, you make something together, and you get to keep it. Maybe it's a memory, maybe it's a custom mug, but no matter what you do, we're here to create an experience your team won't forget anytime soon.

 

At Pop CoLab, we create playful experiences that bring people together. From corporate teams and leadership groups to private events, community gatherings, and facilitator-led programming, our experiences are designed to spark connection, curiosity, and joy.

That's the power of play, and it's what we do.

We don't all play the same way, and that's the whole point.

Take our quick Play Personality quiz and find out how you're wired to play. Share it with your team, your friends, or that one coworker who definitely needs this. Compare results. Start a conversation. Have some fun with it.

I absolutely LOVE this spot! It's a playground/hub of creativity and imagination. If you're needing a fun gathering spot for a work function or team gathering, look no further! Incredibly knowledgable and friendly staff too.

We held a team event at Pop CoLab in June, and it was such a great experience. Our office includes four generations, all with different interests and play styles, and the session gave everyone a chance to connect in a creative and enjoyable way.

Donavan helped us learn more about one another while giving us a shared outlet to have fun as a team. Each person left with a tote bag reflecting their individual personality, which made the experience feel personal and memorable.

A wonderful option for teams looking for something inclusive, creative and genuinely engaging.

Had an amazing time with PopColab for a after holiday team event. Donavan was awesome, and super responsive! A large group of 15 people is hard to plan for, so it was great there were so many activity options. We ended up doing a custom trivia to get to know our team members personally and mug making workshop where everyone got to design their own! We also had a mocktail bar (ft. sobr market) available and a treats table. Drinks were delicious and our team had a fun time! Excited to collab with them for another team event.
