Physicists have determined that the best way to subdue wall-bouncing photons is to let them loose until they need a nap. Apply the latest scientific findings to your kid's playtime with today’s Groupon: for $6, you get one admission (up to a $9.99 value), plus a slice of pizza and a small soft drink (a $3.19 value), to Monkey Joe's (up to a $13.18 total value), an inflatable play center designed for children 12 years and younger.
Monkey Joe's caters to energetic kids and their break-desperate parents with a labyrinth of indoor inflatable slides, jumps, and obstacle courses. Swing by with a sock-sporting youngster in tow for a bout of supervised bouncing during the gym's open hours. Adults always get in for free, but they are asked not to jump on the play equipment unless they are accompanying a child 4 years or younger or just won bingo. Instead, elders can relax in Monkey Joe's amenity-laden parent nook, which features comfortable seating, free wireless Internet, flat-screen TVs, and computer stations that never need you to wipe their nose. Kids 3 years and younger can scoot confidently about the super-soft surfaces of the separate Mini Monkey Zone. To ensure playtime isn't interrupted by rumbling tummies, tiny tykes can enjoy a slice of Monkey Joe's pizza and a refreshing fountain drink.
Devoted to safety, Monkey Joe's play equipment is always overseen by well-trained staff members that use a video monitoring system and identity bracelets to track and study each little primate in its natural habitat. Every surface is also sanitized regularly to eliminate common germs and trespassing cooties.

The Groupon Guide to: Barbecue Secrets
Every barbecue joint boasts a secret ingredient or technique that makes its sauce unlike any other. Since most barbecue chefs have taken these secrets to the grave, here's a new list of public-domain barbecue secrets for the aspiring grillsman:
- Throw recipe thieves off your trail by filling your sauce with decoy ingredients such as talc, water, and heaping spoonfuls of rival sauces.
- Age your sauce in an oak cask for 15 years—it doesn't do anything, but you'll sure be hungry by then.
- Go bananas—add bananas to your sauce!
- BBQ is short for B.B. Queen—the wife of legendary bluesman B.B. King—and real barbecue sauce must contain exactly one of her soulful tears.
- As with success in any field, the real secret ingredient is confidence —except in barbecue sauces, in which it is horseradish.
