TL;DRIn this article we’ve rounded up the best unique places to celebrate in Orlando, including Polynesian Fire Luaus and epic experiences at The Escape Effect. For those who want to raise a glass to the occasion, we suggest doing so in style, in a bar surrounded by ice, or on a boat with a picturesque lake setting.

Hooray! It’s time to celebrate! When that birthday or anniversary rolls around for another year, it can be all too easy to go to that tried-and-tested venue for the umpteenth time. Instead, why not try something unique that’ll get everyone talking, and not just about how many grey hairs you’ve sprouted, and how cousin Jimmy is a foot taller since the last time you saw them!
