A child’s imagination, like the universe or a soccer player after riding a tilt-a-whirl, knows no bounds. Nurture blossoming creativity with today’s Groupon: for $30, you get 10 play passes to Kidding Around (a $65 value). Play passes may be shared among more than one child per visit.

Kidding Around's indoor playground unfurls with 4,000 square feet of play space for sock-donning children, toddlers, and infants to stay physically active and thoroughly entertained. Kids romp through the tangle of slides and tubes that make up the two-level climbing maze or hop into plastic cars to reenact their favorite traffic jams. Two wooden train tables instill tykes with uncontainable glee and an understanding of transnational-shipping routes, whereas two inflatable jumpers, one specifically for toddlers, allow for gravitational exploration. All toys and structures receive a full sanitization several times a day, and the playground's solitary entrance is kept secure by watchful cameras, the vigilant staff, and a teddy-bear bouncer.

When not attempting to sneak into the tube maze, parents can relax in the lounge area in clear view of their children. A full coffee-and-espresso bar keeps maternal motors running, and free WiFi streams in email and news from the outside world.
