In a Nutshell

More than 60 interactive models handcrafted in Italy illustrate Da Vinci's genius & make up exhibit’s North American debut

The Fine Print

After inventing geometry and physics, Italians invented history—primarily as a way to document their many inventions. Take a stroll through history with today’s GrouponLive deal: for $14, you get two general admissions to Da Vinci Machines II: The Australian Exhibition (up to a $28 value).

On loan from the Museum of Leonardo Da Vinci in Florence, Italy, Da Vinci Machines II: The Australian Exhibition debuts in North America with 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 fully 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 "Da Vinci Machines II: The Australian Exhibition" 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: Playground Games

Although scientists have tried to quash children's dangerously powerful imaginations with high-tech video games and distracting pocket telephones, they have still been unable to fully eliminate these popular technology-free schoolyard games:

Red Rover: Two opposing chains of locked-arm children take turns volleying sacrificial members of their row toward the other chain in hopes of breaking it. The first team to be dragged into the pond loses.

Hidesies & Findsies: One player covers their eyes and counts as high as he is able to while the other players go hither and elsewhiles, squeezing themselves into hollow logs and crevices. The last player to be found is the winner, and it is now their turn to cover their eyes and be abandoned by their friends.

Freeze Tag: Regular tag played cautiously on the surface of a frozen lake

Red Light, Green Light: This imaginative game of stop and go allows children a safe outlet in which to exercise their secret desire to play in traffic. The winner is parents.
