Cheers to Twenty-One Years!
Your twenty-first birthday is the perfect chance to take a trip with your best friends. There are so many fabulous cities right here in the U.S. that will check off all the boxes on your “must-have” list.
- Savannah, Georgia – You may be wondering why this made the list but not only is Savannah a gorgeous city, it has so much to offer when it comes to bars, nightlife, and restaurants. Plus, it is legal to walk around the city with a drink in hand – so you can shop and sightsee while you sip your first legal cocktail. If you and your friends are looking for a memorable experience, Savannah is also dubbed one of the most haunted cities in the U.S. and offers a Haunted Pub Crawl!
- Las Vegas, Nevada – Feeling lucky? It is no secret that Las Vegas is the prime spot for an ultimate celebration. In addition to the endless bars and the lively strip, you can try your hand at the casino, dance until the early hours of the morning, or catch a live performance from one of the resident performers! Then, after a long night of fun, you can recover by the pool with some daiquiris or Bloody Mary’s.
- Miami, Florida – Lounge by the beach during the day and come alive with the city at night! The nightlife in Miami is unlike any other. South Beach is lined with a wide variety of bars and clubs and is one of the best places to celebrate. Whether you are looking for dinner and a show or DJs and dancing (yes, you can book salsa lessons for you and your friends), you can have a little bit of it all by barhopping along Ocean Drive.
Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving
Entering your 30s can feel like a big deal, you are at the point where you still want to embrace your youth while learning how to slow down and enjoy the little things in life. That is why these destinations are the perfect mix of magic, adventure, and a dash of R&R.
- Disneyland in Anaheim, California – Hear us out! Disneyland is the best place to get in touch with your inner child. Even though you are turning 30, it doesn’t mean you can’t spend the day with the characters you love, riding your favorite attractions, and grabbing a Dole Whip! Be sure to grab an “It’s My Birthday” pin to bask in the “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” wishes from Cast Members around the park and resorts.
- Bend, Oregon – If you are a fan of the great outdoors and a good beer, Bend is a must-visit area! You can find breathtaking views of the city from the top of Pilot Butte – you can drive to the top or hike – and then head into the city to check out a few of over twenty-two breweries located in Bend. Looking for something a little more upscale? Check out the Sunriver Resort, which is nestled at the foot of the Cascade Mountains and offers tons of outdoor activities and spa services.
- New York City, New York – What can we say? New York is one of a kind! World-renowned restaurants, endless tourist sights, incredible shopping – and Broadway?! Yes, please! Plus, the city comes alive at night, so the birthday fun does not have to stop when the sun goes down. You could even take an elevator to the top of the Empire State Building just before midnight and ring in your birthday overlooking the buzzing city!
