50 Unusual Bucket List Ideas You Maybe Haven't Heard Of Before

By now, we've heard all the typical bucket list goals:

• Travel to Paris

• Write a book

• Etc.

Those are great, but how many of us want a copy and paste kind of life? 

And why curate a cookie cutter type bucket list for ourselves?

When was the last time you tried something truly new to you? Something out of the ordinary?

If you're feeling uninspired by the common bucket list ideas, I'm here to help!

Below I've listed 50 unusual experiences some of which you may not have heard of or considered before.

None of these require traveling to a specific place. And they are all things I have either personally done or would like to do.

Which of these would you try?

1. Try on a full suit of armor

2. Attend a roller derby game

3. Play tag in a corn maze in formal wear

4. Do a witchy photoshoot in the woods with costumes and smoke bombs in a cauldron

5. Attempt to hula hoop on a paddleboard

6. Roll in a full zorbing ball blindfolded

7. Take a walk barefoot in the rain 

8. See how many elastic bands you can put around a watermelon before it explodes

That time I licked a big ice sculpture when I worked as a cook.

9. Play in a public fountain 
Be careful. My friend fell between the railings and got a little stuck.

11. Lick an ice sculpture 

12. Be in a food fight 

14. Use pop rocks in a makeout session

20. Ride a reindeer

21. Spend the night in a treehouse 

22. Ride a camel
I admit, this one isn't all that unusual, but how often does the opportunity arise?

23. Get a fish pedicure 
Beware if you are ticklish. It's fun but some hard to be still. My feet and legs felt so soft after.

24. Take a flying trapeze class

25. Attempt a flyboarding jetpack flight

26. Sign up for an aerial yoga class

45. Sing karaoke using helium 

46. Play pictionary with your toes 

47. Go trash bagging down a hill in the rain - wear a trash bag, spray a mixture of soap and water all down the front. Slide like a penguin down a wet hill.



49. Have your caricature drawn
