For centuries, the only way to see a penguin and a tiger on the same day was to ride a saddled tiger all the way to the Arctic Circle. Watch these climatological opposites team up to raise each other's babies with today’s Groupon to the International Wildlife Museum, located on West Gates Pass Road. Choose between two options:

• For $22, you get a one-year family membership (a $45 value).
• For $8, you get general admission for two (up to a $16 value).

The International Wildlife Museum is a nonprofit institution that works to support various worldwide conservation efforts. More than 400 living and taxidermy-sustained species, plus illuminating exhibits and habitat re-creations, wow crowds of mammal fans and reptile skeptics alike. Visit the Scaly, Not Slimy! reptile exhibit with a significant other to bask in the romantic aura of the naturally top-hatted debonair tortoise, or pick up a family membership to get a year of unlimited museum access, two complimentary guest passes, and discounts on everything from museum programs to items in the gift shop.

Purchasing a museum membership helps the dedicated staff maintain its collections and exhibits, as well as develop new educational programs. You’ll receive reciprocal free admission to more than 400 participating museums and a subscription to the International Wildlife Museum newsletter, allowing you to finally cancel long-neglected subscriptions to Y2K Shelters Monthly and Pog Aficionado.

Children 12 and younger receive discounted or free admission to the museum.
