Before processed sugar, children had to consume 12 pineapples, a beehive, and their own weight in strawberries to achieve the sugarcoated, rubbery skin necessary to bounce off walls. Today’s Groupon gives naturally occurring youthful energy a place to play: for $12, you get an all-day pass for unlimited access to most attractions (up to a $24 value) at Mulligan Family Fun Center. You can use this Groupon at your choice of Mulligan Family Fun Center's locations in Torrance, Palmdale (an hour north of the city), or Murrieta (three hours southeast of Los Angeles). This Groupon is valid every day from December 26 through January 9, and then on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through June. All three locations are closed on Christmas Day.

All three Mulligan locations will let visitors get their ya-yas out via any combination of attractions, including rock walls, lazer tag, minigolf, go-karts, and all the other major fun groups on the recreational food pyramid. This buffet of romps and good, clean fun will ensure that both your inner and outer children go home insisting that they're not tired before immediately falling asleep in the car. Attractions vary by location, so be sure to check out your closest location’s website to see what’s available.

Prepare your brood for a smorgasbord of activities to help tighten bonds before tearing them apart during friendly competition. Up to nine Groupons can be redeemed per group, making this an opportune opportunity to treat the extended family, the entire cul-de-sac, or every remaining newsie in the country to a rousing day of nonstop, limitless mental and physical stimulation.
