As we get older, we tend to celebrate birthdays less and less. Maybe we don’t want to think about our age or we have other priorities, sometimes it can just be logistically difficult to get everyone together in the same place at the same time! We know your schedule is already packed full to bursting, but at The Escape Effect, we believe that it’s important to take time for you, and to treat yourself. Cast your eye down our list of suggestions and see if there is one which resonates with you, if there is, clear that calendar, commit to it, and celebrate your special day, we insist!
Have your birthday celebration with us
Evening Airboat Ride
It can already feel a little unnerving to be on the water in Florida, knowing there is a glut of gators lurking in the lake below, but how about you ramp up the intensity by doing so at night time? Adventurous adults will get a thrill out of spotting nature’s nocturnal hunters, as you skim across the subtropical waters, experiencing the Everglades like you never have before on an evening airboat ride! Don’t worry, it’s totally safe, with hearing protection, life jackets, and a knowledgeable captain as your guide!
Clear Kayak Tour
If being on the water at night is a little too spooky for you, how about a clear kayak tour in the sunshine instead? Taking place in the stunning setting of Rock Springs, you’ll have up to 2.5 hours of time to explore the area. Your guide will provide not only instruction on how to paddle your kayak, but also unique facts along the way about the waterways and wildlife! You’ll be able to stop to take photos of the beautiful scenery, as well as turtles, birds, fish, and numerous other animals you’ll find along the way!
Ghosts Of Winter Park Tour
Even if your birthday is not in October, there’s still the opportunity for chilling thrills all year round with the Ghosts Of Winter Park Tour. Enjoy an informative yet entertaining jaunt through numerous haunted sites, and the 100 years of history that Winter Park has to offer. This activity is packed with the paranormal, and is sure to make for a memorable mystery-filled birthday! So if you’re looking for a spine-tingling way to celebrate, grab your ghoul-friends and embark on this treacherous tour!
The Escape Effect
From one ghost-hunting experience to another…The Escape Effect is home to Fright Before Your Eyes, an escape room adventure where you’ll be uncovering the sinister secrets of an infamous illusionist! For those who prefer something a little less spooky, you also have the option of exploring a medieval castle, a greek temple, or the study of the great detective Sherlock Holmes! When it comes to your birthday, you may not be able to escape the passing of time, but you can escape one of these epic adventures instead!
Hot Air Balloon Ride
Experience a magical sunrise from above with an incredible hot air balloon ride. It takes having balloons for your birthday to a whole new level! Adventurous adults can enjoy panoramic views across Orlando, taking in local landmarks, stunning scenery, and roaming wildlife, all bathed in the gorgeous glow of the sunlight. It’s a truly spectacular way to spend your special occasion. While it is along the lines of a thrill-seeking activity, it can also feel wonderfully serene and romantic, if you’re taking the trip with a loved one.
