What You'll Get
The family is the basic unit of society—yet, statistically, family members are the very people most likely to steal the extra Arch Deluxe you've been saving for all these years. Solidify family alliances and suss out enemies with today's Groupon: for $24, you get four awesome wristbands (a $12 value each) imbued with the power of unlimited rides for one day at Kiddie Park. You may redeem your bands during multiple visits. Kiddie Park, which claims to be the oldest kiddie park in the United States, has been funning up San Antonio since 1925. Though new amenities and fresh paint have been added under the park's new management, Kiddie Park retains the classic rides of days gone by. The carousel, built in 1918, still spins its equine poles in perfect circular splendor, while the wee Ferris wheel rotates children like hot dogs in a warming roller. Most rides are vehicle-based, be they pastel-colored planes swung slow through the air or silver train cars chugging on their tracks. Although not included with this Groupon, Kiddie Park also sports a snack bar stocked with kid-approved edibles such as Goldfish crackers ($1), sno cones ($2), pizza slices ($2), and, for the torporic child, Airheads ($1).
Although Kiddie Park sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still represents the best available value.

About Kiddie Park - San Antonio
In 1925, Kiddie Park first opened its doors, and since then, generations of kids have flocked to the park, and its classic rides. After a renovation in 2009, the grounds were augmented with modern facilities such as a new entrance. The revamping efforts proved fruitful, and the San Antonio Current lauded the facility as the Best Kid-friendly Park (& Comeback Story) in 2010.
Now more than 85 years after its opening, Kiddie Park welcomes visitors for days of fun and nostalgia. A train winds through turns, while a ferris wheel proffers elevated views of the historic grounds and lollipops stuck in visitors' hair. Hand-carved in 1918, the park's flagship Herschell Spillman carousel still beckons visitors aboard its decades-old horses. Elsewhere, a snack bar tempts taste buds with classic treats such as funnel cakes and cotton candy.
