Children make a natural pair with anything inflated, including balloons, bouncy castles, and egos. Let kids rule over an appropriate realm with today's Groupon to Jumpin' Jungle in Carol Stream, valid for kids 4 and older. Choose from the following options:
- For $4, you get one open-play session (an $8 value).
- For $32, you get 10 open-play sessions (a $65 value).
- For $60, you get 20 open-play sessions (a $130 value).
The 10- and 20-session passes can be used for multiple children per visit, and children younger than 2 are admitted for free.
The bouncing, climbing, and tumbling attractions of Jumpin' Jungle unfurl across 11,000 square feet of brand-new floor space. Kids 4 and older rocket around like atoms in a particle accelerator within the inflatable bounce house, one of many nationwide built by scientists in hopes of fortuitously modeling the behavior of the Higgs boson. Tots scale a 6-foot climbing wall, then dive into a pit of foam blocks. On Wednesdays and Fridays, a zipline sends kids speeding through the gym, strapped to a full harness to ensure they don't accidentally achieve liftoff. Adults enter for free with their kids, though they will have to purchase a pass for their inner child if it escapes into the foam pit.

The Groupon Guide to: What Makes a TV?
Enjoying television is as patriotic as knitting an apple pie or eating American flags. Here's a look at some of the components that make up these high-tech picture boxes:
• Glass: A high-end TV has a glass screen that when turned off (not recommended) will reflect your image. When turned on, it will reflect how awesome TV is.
• Cathode Ray Tube: No longer needed for modern TVs to work, but manufacturers still put one in every set just for old times' sake.
• Gold: TV signals, like men's hearts, are lustily attracted to gold, causing them to fly out of the sky into the gold brick in the back of every TV.
• A Couple of Horse Bones: 'Cause why not, right?
• Wires: They hook up to the wired helmets that all the actors wear to beam their acting into your TV.
• An Eternal Flame: To honor the former TV stars who have died.
• Tiny Fire Extinguisher: In case the eternal flame gets out of control.
• IBM PetaFlop SuperComputer: Guesses when you want to change the channel, lower the volume, etc., all to cover up the fact that the remote control doesn't do anything.
• Martin Sheen: He's gotta live somewhere.
