In a Nutshell

More than 60 interactive models handcrafted in Italy illustrate da Vinci's genius.

The Fine Print

After inventing geometry and physics, Greeks invented history—primarily as a way to document their many inventions. Take a stroll through history with this GrouponLive deal: for $14, you get two general admission tickets to the Da Vinci Machines exhibit at Denver Pavilions, open through March (up to a $28 value).

On loan from the Museum of Leonardo da Vinci in Florence, Italy, the Da Vinci Machines exhibit features more than 60 interactive models based on the polymath's original 500-year-old concepts. Peruse replicas of major inventions, each of which was handcrafted by three generations of Florentine artisans. Check out the air screw, an early ancestor to both the helicopter and the propeller beanie, and learn the secrets behind the mechanical lion, a robotic lion given as a gift to the king of France. Youngsters and adults alike are encouraged to touch the war machines, flying machines, and nautical and hydraulic devices for insight into their functionality, and accompanying explanatory notes, illustrative panels, and computer programs help modern minds obtain further understanding of da Vinci's wide-reaching genius and desire to develop the greatest invention of all: a juicer.

Though the Da Vinci Machines exhibit offers discounted tickets for students and children between the ages of 5 and 10, this Groupon offers the best deal available for most customers.

The Groupon Guide to: Children's Novels

As children get older and their minds start to burn with adult worries, they'll leave behind short children's books for longer works of serialized fiction. Look in your local library for these classic children's novel series:

  • The Lemonade-Stand Pals
  • Garrett Markler, Boy IRS Agent
  • The Half-Brothers Softball Club
  • Gory Stories: Terrifying Tales to Melt Preteen Brains
  • The Unacceptabillies: For These Rockabilly Kids, Sticking Out Is the New Fitting In
  • Grapes of Math
  • High-School Twins
  • The Afterschool Dolphin-Trainers Club
  • The Shopping-Mall Orphans
  • Freaky, Goofy, Messed-Up, So Totally Angry Sleep-Away Camp
  • Football Sasquatch

I just preordered my copy of "Sasquatch and the Halftime Hooligan".
