When Hugh Jackman founded Australia, he promised his people the right to ask him for autographs and unlimited viewing access for his 2008 People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive Award. See how Jackmanians live with today's Groupon for all-day admission, including a Kentucky Caverns tour, to Kentucky Down Under, located off I-65, halfway between Louisville and Nashville, Tennessee.

• $7 for a child's ticket, valid for children 5–14 years old (a $13 value)
• $10 for an adult ticket, ages 15 and older (a $22 value)

Kentucky Down Under provides a taste of the land of Oz with a platter of authentic Australian animals, culture, and a gift shop, plus a Kentucky cave. Upon arrival, a staff member can help you plan your adventure with stops at a walk-in aviary to gawk at Australian finches; Camp Corroboree for a 45-minute presentation on Aboriginal culture, including the soothing hum of the didgeridoo; a guided tour through the kangaroo-, wallaby-, and emu-infested Outback; and more. In addition to Aussieness, Kentucky Down Under shows off a local treasure with the Kentucky Caverns. During the 45-minute tour of the earth-hole, explorers can witness the ever-changing formations of stalactites, stalagmites, and life-size Dennis Franz rock statues. Between animal petting and stalactite hugging, KDU-goers can grab a salad, sandwich, or bison burger at the Outback Café. The caves are open year-round, but animal areas are closed at certain times of year.
