A family outing fosters lifelong memories while giving houses the chance to molt in private. Leave your domicile to its own devices with today's Groupon: for $20, you get admission for four to Puck's Farm in Schomberg (a $48 value). This Groupon is only valid weekends and holidays.

Puck's Farm peppers its pastures with carnival rides, a petting zoo, and other family-friendly diversions. Visitors explore the farm before stocking lungs with fresh air during pony rides around a duck pond. Horse-powered hay rides tote sightseers past corn-furrowed rolling hills, and a petting zoo employs baby lambs, pigs, calves, and foals as fuzzy therapists for stressed-out hands. Tykes can expend energy reserves with unlimited access to the fun slide, merry-go-round, and 70-foot ferris wheel, then refuel with burgers and hot dogs purchased at Puck's Farm's concession stand or by bringing a picnic lunch and enjoying alfresco dining and food fighting.
