Enliven your child's mind with today's Groupon: for $29, you get a 12-visit pass to BizzyBee Playcentre inside the Beach Mall (a $60 value).

At BizzyBee Playcentre, children up to 6 years old can romp through a colourful, kid-friendly oasis, granting guardians a chance to shop or dine at nearby businesses. The play centre boasts an indoor playground, paints and crafts, plush couches, and ample carpeted floor space for static electricity experiments. As younger recreationists enjoy toddler-worthy toys, games, and puzzles, older siblings can expend excess energy reserves in the slide and ball pit, or switch identities with imaginary friends in the dress-up play area. Meanwhile, guardians can sip a complimentary cup of coffee or tea as they supervise tykes, or bid a brief farewell to children 18 months and older and enjoy an hour of shopping at nearby partnership businesses. Peruse boutiques, soothe frayed senses at a yoga studio, or remove Lego blocks from hairdos at a conveniently located salon.
