Raising children can sap the romance from marriage, as most 3-year-olds lack candle-lighting proficiency and the ability to sit quietly through the sultriest moments of This Old House. Take a relaxing timeout from parenting with today's Groupon: for $25, you get five all-access passes for children ages 6 months to 8 years at Playtown Cafe in Boca Raton (up to a $50 value).

Playtown Cafe offers grownups a place to put their minds at ease as their tykes roam about a safe 5,100-square-foot indoor activity center. Enjoy an unrushed meal of bistro fare before sending the little ones to the Park, the complex's central play area featuring a jungle gym, slides, and artificial grass to forestall criticism from toddlers with high verisimilitude standards. Salute your child's culinary imagination as they sauté plastic hot dogs and rubber carrots in the Bakery's kid-size kitchen, or take pictures for future blackmail as tots play dress-up in La Boutique. Other play areas include the Garage, which features beanbags and Nintendo Wii, the Sweet Shop, the Art Gallery, and the Building Zone, where toddlers gain valuable experience bickering with pint-size property owners about imminent domain and housing regulations.
