Other Birthday Ideas for Adults
Looking for something a bit different to celebrate your birthday? We’ve got you covered in that area too. Orlando has some really neat places to visit and celebrate your birthday and take a break from “adulting.”
ICEBAR Orlando – Located on International Drive is ICEBAR Orlando. ICEBAR is, as its name states, a bar made out of ice with a below-freezing theme. You get a parka-like jacket to wear inside, and your drinks come in ice glasses. Once you are good and frozen you can visit the adjacent Fire Lounge and warm up with themed cocktails and dancing. There is a cover charge that includes your jacket and time in the ICEBAR, but you can experience the Fire Lounge without the cover charge.

Another truly incredible atmosphere can be found at the High T bar in downtown Orlando.
This breathtaking bar is one of the most beautiful venues ever created in downtown Orlando. Calling it an Alice in Wonderland themed bar doesn't seem to do it justice.
Cocktails at High T Alice in Wonderland Bar Downtown Orlando – Dani Meyering
Perched on the second floor of a historic building on West Church Street, High T is immersive with some of the most creative and eccentric cocktails ever presented in Orlando. The cocktails are an average of $20 a pop, but they are handcrafted, each one with its own specialty glassware and garnishes.
Each drink is a presentation and experience. High T is meant to be a special occasion venue. Dress up nice or go cosplay in your Alice in Wonderland best. Whether it's your birthday or you're celebrating an unbirthday, High T is a precious addition to downtown Orlando.
