Without trips to amusement parks, the most exciting thing to happen to most families would be the periodic elections to determine who gets to be Dad that week. Shake things up with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

• $15 for a five-attraction pass to a Magic Mountain Fun Center (up to a $31 value)
$29 for two five-attraction passes (up to a $62 value)

At both the Polaris and the East location, each pass is redeemable for rounds on two 18-hole mini-golf courses, time in the kids' climbing play land, or races in three different types of go-karts for all ages. Laser tag is only available at the Polaris location, but the East location's batting cages—open seven days a week through October—let guests keep their mutant laser vision safely on the ball instead of each other. The full value of each pass must be redeemed in one visit, and each visitor must have their own pass.

Magic Mountain Fun Centers

The telltale sounds of fun fill the air at either Magic Mountain Fun Center location, as friends and families careen around tracks in go-karts, compete on mind-bending mini-golf courses, or do battle in bumper cars. Piping-hot pizzas fuel days of rides and arcade games, and the park's varied birthday packages catapult parties into a fun-filled gamut of feasting, bumper boats, and laser tag. Open late, the parks afford guests the opportunity to while the night away or lure their night terrors in front of a speeding bumper car.

Though Magic Mountain Fun Centers sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
