Luckily, we’ve created a list below of some fool-proof activities that will result in smiles all round and incredible birthday memories, for not just them, but their friends and family too!

Medieval Times

Medieval Times is a classic pick for a place to celebrate. Whether they want to bring their friends, or if it’s just an outing for the family, everyone will enjoy the electric atmosphere of watching two knights ride in on majestic horses and battle it out to win the crown! At first, this might seem a bit uncool, for the more image-conscious teenagers out there, but it’s one of those activities where once you are there you can’t help but have fun! You’ll find yourself cheering your side on and vying for victory, as well as eating a delicious medieval-style feast!

A puzzle-filled adventure is the perfect fit for a party, and one which everyone will remember for years to come! The Escape Effect has four differently themed rooms, all with unique stories and settings, ready to be explored by adventurous teens and all of their friends!

If your teenager has a lot of energy, they can let off some steam at Orlando Tree Trek! During their tree-top adventure, they’ll find themselves navigating through tricky obstacles, having to climb, leap, and balance to make their way through! There is also an exhilarating zip line located high among the pine trees, that thrill-seeking teens will want to experience again and again! Not only is this activity a lot of fun, but it’s sure to help your teenagers build confidence too as they successfully tackle challenges up to 50 feet high in the air.
