Troubadourable folk buddies Simon and Garfunkel once sang that "it's all happening at the zoo," before retiring from music to live out their days serenely basking in the reptile habitat. Get happening with today's Groupon: for $75, you get a one-hour animal show from Mark’s Ark.

Mark's Ark chaperones a troupe of adorable critters, exotic amphibians, and moving marvels, captivating children and mesmerizing matriarchs with its mobile zoo. For one hour, expert animal handler Mark Kohlhorst brings his wit, enthusiastic knowledge, and animal pals to homes, parties, and events, creating a real-life Jumanji where Robin Williams doesn’t chew up the Barcalounger. The people-loving beasties thrive on being petted, embraced, and adored, so children can be relentless with their affections toward albino hedgehogs and tiger salamanders. Mark helps children and parents overcome ophidiophobia by introducing charm-schooled snakes that anagram Eew to Wee as they slither across the heartstrings. The animalsperience cultivates giddy child-chuckles and parental gloat, causing jealous neighbors to plot backyard space-shuttle launches to undermine their post-show glow.
