In addition to providing recreational enjoyment, riding in go-karts and playing miniature golf are excellent ways to prepare children for a future filled with high-speed car chases and malevolent windmills. Train offspring for the inevitable with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of games and rides at Grand Prix Amusements.

Grand Prix Amusements facilitates flights from boredom with a sprawling indoor and outdoor recreational haven. Revellers ages 10 and older can practice escaping a domineering house cat with laps around the nearly one-mile long Grand Prix Track ($6–$10), and the Mini Grand Prix track ($5) satisfies miniature motor heads ages 4 and older. Mini golf ($5) invites club wielders to putt their way through a pirate-themed 18-hole course, and the batting cages ($1 for 10 pitches) strengthen arms for effective ice-cream-truck hailing. Merrymakers can also ameliorate summer heat with aquatic repasts such as the bumper boats ($5) and water-balloon battlegrounds ($1 for four balloons), dousing competitors in explosions of authentic mermaid tears. Though not covered by this Groupon, customers can bolster waning energy with snacks and drinks at Grand Prix Amusements' amply stocked concession stand.
