The ground is filled with more than semi-cursed treasure chests and fully candied dinosaur bones; it also contains baby flowers. Explore plants in their equally adorable adult forms with today's Groupon: for $6, you get two adult admissions to Sunken Gardens (a $16 value) in St. Petersburg.

Though only 100 years old (barely a teenager by tree reckoning), St. Petersburg’s Sunken Gardens already plays home to more than 50,000 tropical plants and flowers. The tropical paradise's pathways wind through the verdant gardens, revealing waterfalls, intelligent plant life, and phantasmagoric portals to other parts of the garden as explorers experience the florae of old Florida at its finest. A single-day pass to the gardens provides an escape plan for hooky-playing horticulture fans any day of the week. Take this opportunity to commune with nature or lure a young television addict out of his or her beanbag-chaired habitat into a sunlit world of fresh air, flowers, and trees.
