After the Industrial Revolution caused countless problems for the environment, the only way to see wild creatures up close was to visit a zoo or college dormitory immediately after final exams. View nature in all its glory with today's Groupon: for $22, you get a one-hour airboat everglades tour from Wild Florida in Kenansville, located south of St. Cloud (a $45 value). Tours run daily every 75 minutes, beginning at 10:15 a.m. with the last tour at 4:30 p.m.

Helmed by U.S. Coast Guard–certified captains, Wild Florida's airboat tours usher passengers across portions of more than 4,000 acres of the unadulterated headwaters of Florida's everglades. Each one-hour boat ride departs from the facility's picturesque 500-foot dock to navigate placid waterways and encounter members of a vast ecosystem, including bald eagles, alligators, and the ever-elusive Swamp Thing. Gliding smoothly across myriad marshes and past turtles disguised as giant lily pads, the fan-powered skiffs deftly sail over shallow and narrow portions of the glades, allowing wayfarers opportune views of the 100% undeveloped nature preserve.
