Without exercise, children will never build the strength to cut their own sandwich crusts or tear geometry books in half with their bare hands. Foster childhood vigour with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get admission for one adult and one child to Tubes & Jujubes Family Fun Centre in Gatineau, Quebec (a $19.50 value).

Tubes & Jujubes Family Fun Centre enthralls children age 12 and younger with more than 15,000 square feet of engaging play areas, activities, and delectable treats that help enhance motor skills and cognitive development. Wearing socks is mandatory in the expansive play facility, where tykes can traverse plastic play structures, scale climbing walls, frolic in ball arenas, navigate through labyrinths, and stroll through toddler parks hosting preschool adaptations of Macbeth. Qualified instructors lead complimentary one-hour parent-and-child workshops, such as arts-and-crafts sessions, that grant guardians and tots time to creatively collaborate and interact. An indoor soccer field encourages friendly competition, and an arcade coaxes whippersnappers into engaging virtual worlds, such as Grocery Store Self-Checkout Line: The Game. Though not included in today’s Groupon, famished youngsters and their parents can enjoy health-conscious wraps or paninis in the Tubes & Jujubes bistro or browse through the candy store's extensive selection of gum, licorice, jelly beans, and lollipops.
