Before amusement parks, nomad families would roam the earth in search of schools of bumper boats or flocks of wild go-karts to film for their blogs. Enjoy domesticated thrills with today’s Groupon: for $60, you get a four-person family fun pack valid for activities and food at Adventure Zone in Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio (a $136 value).

At Adventure Zone, families and groups can partake in a sampler platter of the park's indoor and outdoor high-octane offerings. Put adrenaline stores to use by zooming around the go-kart racetrack (a $6.50/person value) or by rebounding off one another at the helm of bumper boats modeled after Spain’s famous bumper armada of 1588 (a $4.50/person value). A mini-golf course (a $6.25/person value) and batting cages (a $1.50/token value) present staging grounds for impressive displays of hand-eye coordination, and a rock-climbing wall (a $3.50/session value) and wall bounce—a 30-foot vertical trampoline activity (a $3.50/person value)—await conquering by aspiring daredevils. In the course of mastering the day's activities or exercising dexterous digits in the arcade ($1 in tokens/person included), groups can pause for a repast that includes a hot dog, chips (a $3.25 value for each hot-dog plate), and a large soda (a $2.75 value each). Later, an ice-cream treat and a rousing narration of one's closing activities by Morgan Freeman provide a satisfying denouement to the day (a $1.25 value each).
