OK, you don’t have to wear your grandpa’s clothes to play shuffleboard at the Orlando Shuffle, but retro attire is encouraged. Every first and third Saturday of the month starting at 7 p.m., you can grab a tang (the stick) and slide some biscuits (the pucks) across the courts at Beardall Senior Center for free. For maximum fun, though, a Hawaiian shirt and high-waisted pants are essential.

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.

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.
