Stroll across unpaved trails of crushed granite gravel to visit big cats such as tigers, leopards, or african lions wearing bejeweled crowns. An optional 15-minute train ride whisks visitors on a tour past animals relaxing on real grass and landscaping. Take time to visit newcomers Jeckle, the golden-handed tamarin, and Mikhail and Nikolai, a duo of red foxes, or purchase some animal food ($2) at the petting zoo to hand-feed goats, sheep, deer, and thrifty zoo staff.

Austin Zoo

Austin Zoo originated as Good Day Ranch in 1990 featuring pony rides and goat-milking demonstrations. Over the next four years, the founders began rescuing exotic animals and evolving into a rescue center, renaming the facility under its current moniker. After becoming a safe haven for more than 300 rescued animals of more than 100 different species, the Austin Zoo began the process of becoming a nonprofit organization, which it completed in 2000. Housed in native Texas Hill Country enclosures, the animals can enjoy real grass and landscaping instead of concrete exhibits or studio apartments. African lions and bengal tigers stretch out in the big cat habitats while colobus monkeys and a marmoset swing from tree to tree in monkey areas. In addition to wild creatures, the zoo houses domesticated animals such as a miniature donkey, potbellied pigs, and llamas.

The Groupon Guide to: Bettering Yourself

Everyone starts as a blank canvas, but fortunately, life provides us with all the colors needed to paint a masterpiece. Here are some things you can do every week to fulfill your destiny as a painting metaphor:

  • Make a new recipe. Mixing different kinds of cereal together counts.

  • Read a kind of book you wouldn't normally read. Maybe the instruction book for a vacuum you no longer own, or if you don't have any books, staple a bunch of menus together and say that's a book.

  • Quit a bad habit. We all love waking up in the middle of the night to break every single one of our dishes, but when you think about it, is it really doing us any good?

  • Get involved in your community. See which of your neighbors leave their doors unlocked and surprise them by spilling one of your new cereal recipes all over their floor.

  • Exercise. Chase every animal you see. They would do it to you if they had the guts.

Can two different kinds of cereal in one bowl lead to a better you?
