Celebrating birthdays gives us immense joy and fun. A user asked the forum, “18th birthday ideas. I have no idea what to do for it.” Here are the top responses.
DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY
“Do what you want. It’s your birthday. Do nothing (I didn’t do anything for my 18th), invite a few friends over to do something fun. If you want anything significant, it’ll need organizing, but if you’re not into organizing, one of your friends or family will be happy to help.
Have you been to parties with friends? Which ones did you like? Do you want lots of people? Speeches? Is it just hanging out with a few friends?
Will it be around when you or your friends are stressing out about exams? Consider that, too. Plus, consider that in a few months, the weather will be better than it is now! Probably.”
ESCAPE ROOM
“Could get some friends together and go here: https://www.thelostdice.com/. Head to an escape room and have some drinks there.
You could get a small group of friends together, book a hotel room for a night, and have your gaming/nerd night in, or just do nothing.”
GO OUT TO A NICE RESTAURANT
“If you’re not into pubs, gather a few friends and visit a nice restaurant.”
GO TO THE FLIPSIDE BARCADE
“Head down to The Flipside Barcade on Goodwood Road at Daw Park. They do American takeaway-style food and have pinball/arcade games!”
TRY THE BEER BICYCLE
“Try the beer bicycle thing where all you and your friends are pedaling while drinking it. But I guess some of your friends could be 17.”
GO ON INTERSTATE TRIP
“Go on an interstate trip with a few friends or even rent an Airbnb at the beach for a few days. You could do Go-Karting at the bend and rent a place in Wellington on the Marina. Go to the pub for dinner and a few drinks ( if you want ), then chill back to the Airbnb place after.”
GET A HOUSE DOWN AT GOOLWA
“Get a house down at Goolwa near the beat with some mates and enjoy a killer weekend. Play some cards. Drink some. Enjoy a chill weekend with some party nights.”
PLAY VIDEO GAMES ON A CINEMA SCREEN
“Palace Nova at Prospect allows you to rent a cinema for a few hours and play video games on a cinema screen! I was going to do this for a milestone birthday, but, you know, COVID-19.”
PLAY MINI GOLF
“Mini golf at that place on Hindmarsh Square. A fun activity for nerds, but there’s alcohol and a DJ (Disc Jockey).”
TREE CLIMBING AT KUITPO
“Tree climbing at Kuitpo. It is an adventure at a beautiful location and would be memorable. There’s a nice cafe to chill out at, or bring camp chairs and lots of food.”
HIRE A LAWN BOWLS CLUB
“You can hire the lawn bowls club at Torrensville, play some games, have drinks, socialize, etc.”
YOU TAKE THE LEAD
“I had a joint 18th birthday party with my friend at my brother’s house! It’s your birthday; you take the lead and have a chill day playing games with your friends, going to the movies, or doing anything else that takes your fancy.
Not everyone is interested in getting drunk and going to bars; I never really was. Happy 18th!”
ENJOY A BUILD-A-BEAR
“Honestly, do whatever makes you happy. I had my 18th at Build-a-Bear, and it was the best birthday ever. Most of my friends had never built their bear before and loved it.
Otherwise, I recommend returning to a holiday place with some mates. People can drink if they want, but otherwise, it’s an excellent, chill time with friends.”
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS
“Pick something you love to do; it can be anything, and invite your closest friends and family to do it with you. You can make it as big or small as you like! It’s your day!”
TEN-PIN BOWLING
“Ten-pin bowling with an arcade attached, finish the night with cards against humanity.”
