Birthdays in Orlando can go a lot further than dinner and a cake. Here are ideas by age, all easy to book, plus what to do about a big group.
For adults
- iFLY indoor skydiving. Two flights in a wind tunnel, with an instructor. It's a real surprise, and no experience is needed.
- A private helicopter flight. Short and memorable, with every seat a window seat.
- Speakeasy Murder Mystery. A 1920s whodunit with dinner, and it's good with a group of friends.
- A dune buggy tour. Three hours of mud and sand for anyone turning 16 or older who wants to drive.
- A sunset or night airboat tour at Boggy Creek, 10% off through us. (I'm Boggy Creek's marketing manager.)
More in things to do in Orlando for adults.
For teens
- Fun Spot America. Coasters, multi-level go-karts and an arcade.
- Hollywood Drive-In Golf. Horror and sci-fi mini golf at CityWalk, open after dark.
- Decision Tactical. Instructor-led missions with CO2-powered firearms that can't fire live ammo, in Sanford. Check the age rules for your group first.

For kids
- Bottle-feed a baby Highland calf at Mini Moo Land. The birthday kid feeds a real calf, then you all cuddle the highland cows, 10% off through us. Mini Moo Land doesn't host parties, so this works best as a family outing.
- LEGOLAND Florida. Best for ages 2 to 12.
- Crayola Experience. Hands-on and indoors, which is handy in summer.
- Pirate's Cove mini golf. Easy with a mix of ages.
- WonderWorks. The upside-down building on I-Drive, with hands-on science exhibits.
For a big group
- Dinner shows handle groups well. See Orlando dinner shows, ranked.
- Medieval Times. Knights, jousting and a meal you eat with your hands.
- Dezerland Park on I-Drive, with go-karts, bowling, an arcade and a car museum under one roof.
Tips
- Ask about birthdays when you book. Some places offer a shout-out or a group rate, but it varies, so don't assume.
- Book early for weekends. Timed attractions sell out first.
- Check age and height rules for every guest, not just the birthday person.
- Keep it to one big thing, then cake back at the house or hotel.
