$4 for One Ticket to the Redland Heritage Festival ($8 Value)

On January 12 and 13, local vendors set up booths across Fruit & Spice Park to celebrate the annual festival, which has taken place since 1976. Families can enjoy a variety of all-ages activities, gaze at tropical plants, and sample the food. Children under 12 are admitted free.

Rates fluctuate depending on age.

Fruit & Spice Park

As you stroll across Fruit & Spice Park's grassy fields, an occasional piece of fruit falls from a neighboring tree. But it’s not an apple or a berry you can easily find in a local supermarket—rather, it may be a specimen native to the Caribbean or South America, its shape foreign to your teeth, which want so badly to bite into its juicy flesh but aren’t sure how. At Fruit & Spice Park, seasoned gardeners grow abundant specimens from tropical areas around the world, including 70 kinds of bamboo, 15 types of jackfruit trees, and edibles such as Fiji longan and jaboticaba across 39 acres.

Visitors meander freely through banana groves and African baobab trees, and they can also follow a guide during tours commencing daily at 11 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3 p.m. to learn more about plant species and which fruit seeds bear an uncanny likeness to Abraham Lincoln’s silhouette. Throughout strolls, guests may help themselves to any of Mother Nature’s home cooking that has naturally fallen to the ground, including mangoes, dragon fruit, and papayas, or venture to the tasting table at the entryway to sample the season’s bounty.

Park staffers also gather visitors for a range of events such as stargazing, outdoor festivals, and plant-use tutorials, where they divulge helpful information such as which plants are medicinal and how to play dead during tree attacks. During regular park hours, chefs at the Mango Café pile plates with casual fare, often using the park's own fruit and vegetables, and the gift shop lets guests bring home harvest jams and aromatic teas.

The Groupon Guide to: Sounding Knowledgeable about Music

Sounding knowledgeable about music is the ultimate shortcut to being perceived as cultured and cool. Memorize these key phrases to impress even the most jaded record-store clerk:

  • “You really need to hear them live."
  • “You really need to hear their earlier stuff."
  • “You really need to hear their earlier stuff, ideally live.”
  • “You really need to hear the stuff they haven’t written yet.”
  • “You really need to hear them through $900 wireless headphones, in one of those vibrating video-game chairs.”
  • “You really need to never hear them on drugs. Why would you ruin your experience by polluting your body, man?”
  • “You really need to hear their views on the new economic realities of the music industry."
  • “You really need to hear me sound impressive.”

How can you sound knowledgeable about music without actually knowing anything?
