Inviting wildlife into your home is a great way to gain a better understanding of nature and increase the odds of spotting a sock-eating Sasquatch loping away from the dryer. Bring nature to your doorstep with today's Groupon: for $99, you get an on-location animal show from Indiana Wild, valid within a 60-mile radius of downtown Fort Wayne (a $199 value).

Indiana Wild hosts a diverse menagerie of rescued and rehomed critters to carry out a mission of instilling greater intercreature awareness. Unlike a stage magician who fails to grasp proper rabbit storage, these beast masters adeptly operate an educational spectacle for children's parties, daycares, and school events that showcases personalities as diverse as Spike the porcupine and Sahara the giant sulcata tortoise. Tykes can meet Brisbane, the boisterous kookaburra, or display stoicism by refusing to shy away from a giant flying cockroach. Other possible visitors include a chinchilla, an armadillo, and a burmese python. Photo opportunities abound on this on-location safari, and birthday boys and girls receive a stuffed-animal keepsake, perfect for comforting scarecrows on their first sleepovers.
