Puzzle rooms and escape rooms have sprouted up around Orlando like mushrooms in the last year, and when done right they can be a wonderful opportunity (read: ploy) to spend an hour trapped in a tiny box with that special somebody. Escapology, the slickest incarnation of the idea that we’ve experienced locally, provides Hollywood-style music and detailed theming to make your together time especially memorable. And if you can emerge still on the same team after 60 minutes of being stumped by obscure solutions, your relationship can survive anything.

Looking to get elevated on I-Drive? We’d never advise anything illegal (and there’s absolutely no smoking inside the air-conditioned capsules), but we can’t think of a better place to get reeeeeally high than Merlin Entertainment’s new Orlando Eye observation wheel at I-Drive 360. During your 20-odd-minute odyssey up to 400 feet and back, you’ll be able to see for miles and miles and miles – so long as a sudden lightning storm doesn’t turn your revolution into a bad trip.

Sure, the city randomly selected the trees that they dubbed “significant,” but we’d be stumped to find a more appealing way to while away a fall day than visiting Orlando’s most scenic parks (Dickson Azalea! Leu Gardens!) and most prestigious live oaks (Constitution Green Park’s 175-plus-year-old luminary! Loch Haven’s Mayor!). It’s a little shady how they chose the honorees, but luckily it’s even shadier in the tree tour’s mossy embrace.

Forget adult coloring books – blow off your adult frustrations with the game you always played during recess in elementary school.

The new Peter Jackson Kong movie is on its way, so naturally the powers that be at IOA are planning to tap into the hype behind the blockbuster, as well as capture the sentimental set who still remember the epic Kongfrontation ride that closed in 2002.
