Birthday perks or fun surprises for kids in Ocean City?

Hi everyone! We're going to be in Ocean City for my daughter's 8th birthday and I want to make sure she has a really special day. I know back home there are places that do little birthday freebies or treats for example, a bookstore gives a free cupcake, Dave & Buster's has birthday rewards, and other places sometimes offer a free dessert or something similar. Since Ocean City has so many local businesses and chains, I was wondering if anyone knows of any restaurants, shops, ice cream places, attractions, or other businesses that do anything special for kids on their birthday.

I've already reached out to the place we're staying, and they said they'd make note of it but no promises, so I thought I'd ask the locals and frequent visitors! I'm not looking for handouts, I'm just trying to make her 8th birthday extra special. While she's excited for our vacation, she's also a little sad that she'll be away from home on her birthday and won't get to celebrate with her best friend. I'm hoping to find a few little surprises or special experiences to help make the day one she'll always remember. Any suggestions or hidden gems would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
