Human-size mazes help people empathize with lab rats more easily than human-size mousetraps or human-size hunks of cheese. Feel closer to our furry brethren with today’s Groupon: for $19, you get an amazing value four-pack admission to Amazing Chicago's Funhouse Maze, located on Chicago’s historic Navy Pier (a $39.95 value).
More than one million adults and kids have lost and found themselves in Amazing Chicago's Funhouse Maze, which has been featured in the Chicago Tribune. The amazing value four-pack pass admits four people who can wander through the maze at their own pace or soar over it with wings cobbled together from pigeon feathers and wax. Guided by informative narration, guests give their sense of direction a workout with 4,000 square feet of mind-bending twists, turns, and tunnels. After dazzling their jaded eyes in the rainbow tunnel, guests experience the thrill of Amazing Chicago Funhouse Maze’s elevator drop. Participants can multiply their sense of self-identity in the mirror maze, and then confuse their senses in the psychedelic mine shaft and spinning light tunnel. Heroic adventurers can sound the alarms during a re-creation of the Great Chicago Fire in the blaze maze, before stomping out the inedible flames with fun, interactive technology. At the end of the maze, they can marvel at a simulated fireworks finale.
Guests can park their cars at Navy Pier’s facilities for $20–$24 per day, thwarting the maze-defeating plans of GPS–enabled vehicles. Amazing Chicago’s Funhouse Maze has summer hours Sunday through Thursday from 10 a.m.–10 p.m. and from 10 a.m.–midnight Friday and Saturday.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Personal Happiness
There are many factors that determine a person's happiness, from their serotonin levels to the number of times they wash their hair per day. To help you feel great, take inspiration from some famous sad sacks who learned to feel good about themselves:
Abraham Lincoln: "Honest Abe" gained that ironic nickname after his first presidential address, when he admitted that he was actually Zeke Chalmers, professional con man, unlicensed dentist, and wanted falcon poacher. Despite living a life of ill repute, Lincoln/Chalmers vowed to become a new man, saying he found the positivity necessary to be president in a book of inspirational limericks.
Henry Ford: Noted grump Henry Ford famously invented the automobile after being insulted by the groom at a horse wedding, then a common ceremony. Although the irritable inventor initially believed he was "too glum to be a success," Ford turned his frown upside down via an experimental surgery that replaced his facial muscles with upturned bronze implants. His smiling, bulletproof face became one of the richest, most famous visages in the country.
CoCo, the Sign-Language Gorilla: Like most animals who have been granted the curse of speech but not the Cartesian knowledge of the self to cope with it, CoCo's first words were an anguished "Why am I?" CoCo later became happy when she found a banana, then sad again after she ate the banana, then happy again with a different banana, then sad again, on and on, over and over again without end.
