This family fun park is open weekdays from 3 to 7 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., making it the perfect antidote to your kids' outdoor aversion.

Topping the food chain is a tremendous achievement, which is why humans triumphantly plant flag-like toothpicks in burgers and sing the national anthem at their steaks before devouring them. Enjoy life at the top with this Groupon.

Chefs trim and broil USDA prime full-cut sirloins ($33), bake fresh sea scallops with lemon butter and herbs ($20), and top pan-fried chicken nikki with cranberry relish ($18). See the menu on their site.

Ken's Steak House is an improbable success story. Ken and Florence Hanna opened the Lakeside Cafe in 1935, the throes of the Great Depression. Bite by bite, they built a loyal base of customers (who always just called the eatery "Ken's"), and after five years, the restaurant took up residence in a small diner on Route 9, then known as Starvation Alley.

But Ken dreamed of a day when the grimly named strip would flourish. Today, it's known as the "Golden Mile"-and Ken's Steak House itself has mushroomed. The kitchen still serves the salad dressing recipes created by Florence Hanna-now a national line of salad dressings-and Ken's son, Timothy, and his wife are in charge.

Chefs broil and fire-grill prime cuts of steak, marinating the chateaubriand's center cut roast tenderloin in a reduction of port wine, or infusing the 8-ounce filet mignon with the earthy smoked notes of the warm cedar planks it's served on. Seafood options nestle up against their turf counterparts, including bacon-wrapped scallops, a full pound of lobster stuffed with crab and shrimp, and pistachio-crusted Atlantic salmon. Chicken and pasta dishes round out the menu, and diners discover Italian influences and plenty of seafood-pasta plates. The rustic wood paneling harkens back to Ken's Steak House's roots, and the upscale fare and soft light cast from chandeliers make the spot an ideal choice for an anniversary dinner or a piñata's last meal.

Seafood is made all the more succulent by the ocean floor's geysers of tartar sauce. Submerge into flavor with this Groupon.

Platters tout dishes such as fried whole clams ($16.50) or shrimp ($12.95), and sandwiches and rolls pack scallops ($12.95) or lobster ($9.95-$17.95) between fresh rolls. See the full menu.

After more than 25 years as a lobsterman, Peter Dawson experienced what many others never see in a lifetime-fishing off the New England coast, he reeled in a blue lobster. Nicknaming it Baby Blue, Dawson couldn't bear to let it see the pot; today, the arthropod lives out its days at the New England Aquarium, turning red only when it blushes from too much attention.

Transferring his love of the ocean to his own enterprise-and energized by a life's worth of bragging rights-Dawson opened The Lobster Stop right along the docks. That proximity to the sea ensures a bounty of fresh, native seafood, from fish, clams, and scallops to live lobsters-a specialty, of course. Comprised of Dawson and his family, the shop's staff also prepares cuisine for takeout, serving up platters and sandwiches behind a large display case, and a large mural behind the counter depicts two whales just waiting for the day when the menu includes bowls of plankton soup.

Games of miniature golf can awaken old family memories, from the time Grandma hit a hole in one to the summer when Dad tried to power the house with a build-it-yourself windmill. Putt your way down memory lane with this Groupon to Monster Mini Golf in Norwood or Danvers. Choose between the following options:

The phosphorescent, indoor landscape at Monster Mini Golf immerses putters in an eerie universe that inverts the sun-soaked cheer of conventional courses. Rimmed in glowing green barriers, 18 holes lure swingers of all sizes to challenge their coordination and resolve in the face of winged monsters, scowling animated trees, a creepy clown, and their opponents' shockingly dazzling smiles. Sheltered from searing rain and howling wind, the indoor course enables play around hazards such as a spell well and luminous, ghostly windmill at any time of the year. An in-house radio station and DJ mask the sound of pounding hearts with lively beats and course commentary, and golfers looking for additional glory can win prizes by participating in regular contests or at the on-site arcade (arcade games not covered by this Groupon).

While Monster Mini Golf offers special discounts on some days, this Groupon still represents the best possible deal. Plan ahead to make sure you're redeeming your Groupon at the most opportune time.

Most golfers carry an oversized umbrella to open during sudden downpours or throw into water hazards to make them into enormous cocktails that appease the golf gods. Give a freshwater daiquiri to your favorite deity with this Groupon.

Ballymeade Country Club

A stately colonial clubhouse overlooks Ballymeade Country Club's 18-hole course, where golfers roam across a fertile expanse of rolling Cape Code terrain. The par 72 course presents undulating fairways that give way to multitier greens where even gentle putts send balls rolling over deviously steep slopes. As golf carts ascend to grassy hillcrests, golfers can bask in views of the surrounding landscape, such as the cerulean waters of Buzzards Bay, which is most visible from the 11th green. Journeys through the horticultural haven conclude with majestic flair at the 581-yard, par 5 18th hole, where the fairway doglegs right on its path to a large green stationed behind a small pond.

Without facial expressions, humans would be constantly confused by sarcastic comments and the flirtatious beckoning of crossing guards. Keep faces broadcasting clearly with this Groupon.

In the one-hour facial, aestheticians cleanse faces before sloughing off the dry outer layer of skin with an enzyme peel. As an eye treatment invigorates the ocular area, staffers massage the face and hands to relieve tension. Once treatments are completed, pores are free from complexion-marring congestion, leaving clearer, healthy skin. During the one-hour massage, therapists utilize a choice of relaxing Swedish techniques or focused deep-tissue pressure that breaks down tension with kneading, tapping, and long strokes.

The aestheticians at Forever Young Day Spa & Laser Center seamlessly integrate medical technology into treatments that balance both skin and body. To ensure that the journey toward hair-free limbs and winkle-free brows is safe and efficient, the team relies on FDA-cleared lasers and cosmetic injections. Meanwhile, nimble hands wield hair-fine acupuncture needles, deliver flowing effleurage strokes, and place hot stones with precision to reap both physical and mental benefits. Traditional facials deploy serums rich in botanically derived antioxidants and vitamins from skincare lines such as Credentials to empty pores and rejuvenate complexions. More advanced counterparts use low-level electrical and sonic frequencies to boost skin elasticity and rid the dermal surface of bacteria and pigmentation.

All-Inclusive Beachfront Resort in Caribbean

Every week, Lifestyle Crown Residence Suites throws a beachside welcome party to help new arrivals kick off their vacations with live entertainment, dancing, and a fireworks finale. This fiesta supplies a taste of what lies in store during a stay at the all-inclusive Caribbean resort, which sprawls across a tropical hillside like a mini metropolis. There's something for everyone-a playground and art club for children as well as discos, nightclubs, and bars for grownups. Eleven pools and two spas cater to laid-back vacationers, and onsite snorkeling and other watersports engage active guests.

One-bedroom suites are like a home away from home, complete with fully equipped kitchenettes and separate dining areas. Each suite includes a large balcony or terrace, some of which face the surrounding mountains. Suites are decorated with Caribbean-inspired decor, complemented by rattan, natural-wicker, and bamboo furniture.

A lot of the action at Lifestyle Crown Residence Suites centers on the two beaches it has direct access to. But the resort offers a broad range of activities inland as well. These include golf and yoga during the day and theater shows at night. Take advantage of the free shuttle service and convenient jetpack rentals to easily tour the facilities.

The beach known as Playa Cofresi-named after Roberto Cofresi, a pirate dubbed "the Robin Hood of the Caribbean" for how he dispensed with his stolen treasure-runs along the Lifestyle resort's outer edge. The golden, 3-mile (5 km) stretch of sand reaches to the Ocean World marina, a habitat for dolphins, sea lions, and other marine life.

From the beach, it's only a 10-minute drive to Puerto Plata, the largest city on the Dominican Republic's North Coast. The mountainside city is known for its pastel-colored Victorian buildings with gingerbread fretwork-architecture that lends the town an Old-World charm. You'll also find some prominent cultural attractions, including the colonial-era Fort of San Felipe that was once used to ward off pirates. A couple of cannons still sit atop the thick walls of the fortress, and cannonballs, bayonets, and other 16th-century artifacts are displayed in the museum inside.

Eating international fare at a local restaurant bypasses many transatlantic travel woes, such as jet lag and oar splinters. Stamp your palate's passport with this Groupon.

The menu includes appetizers such as lamb samosas. Entrees range from lamb curry to dosas, and a dessert such as kheer, a spiced rice pudding with pistachios, brings the meal to a close.

Situated at the core of Davis Square, Diva Indian Bistro brims with the aromas of a menu that borrows from the culinary traditions of regions from Bangalore to Bombay. Beneath a bubbly goldenrod ceiling that looks like a collection of soft-lit skylights, patrons settle onto plump black benches to munch samosas and peruse offerings of lamb, seafood, beef, and tandoori dishes soaked in the warmth of the traditional clay oven. Saffron- and cardamom-scented basmati rice stars in biryani dishes, and dosas, a type of crepe crafted from rice and lentils, enclose chicken or veggie fillings alongside coconut chutney and lentil soup.

The wall behind Diva's bar mimics the ceiling's rectangular bubble pattern in white, with a long row of blue glass bottles bisecting the surface. High black and chrome chairs slide up to the brushed-silver bar, where patrons murmur over cocktails and ice clicks occasionally like a tap dancer having a nice dream.

While candy corn isn't lining most supermarket shelves, ghostly chills are perfect for this season's scorching weather. Beat the summer heat and shiver your way through New England's darker side with today's deal: Spend $5 (regularly $10) for one child ticket or $7 (regularly $15) for one adult ticket to Boston Night Tour or Plymouth Night Tour.

Or, head to the site of the witch trials and drop $5 (regularly $10) for one child ticket or $6 (regularly $13) for one adult ticket to the Salem Night Tour -- and remember, that welcome cool night breeze may be something, or someone, else entirely.

Car cleaning has come a long way from the days when motorists were forced to run a hose from the garage, haul buckets of water to the driveway, or park beneath the weeping willow with the worst self-esteem. Wipe the tears from your car's eyes with today's Groupon to Meara Image Auto Detailing in Hingham. Choose from the following options:

Meara Image Auto Detailing's technicians kick-start each painstaking detail package with an attentive hand wash and pressure rinse. Once they've fleshed out road dirt from rims and dressed the tires in their finest silk shirts, the techs nullify light scratches and rust with paint refurbishers and armor the glossy finish in a coat of professional wax. Polishes then ruddy the complexion of plastics and rubbers, and a hand buff coaxes ageless shine from all exterior metals. Meanwhile, vacuums scout interiors for crumbs as techs shine dashboards and thoroughly question vents until they forfeit their stowaway dust reserves. Removable floor mats take a dip in detoxifying shampoos and emerge free of spots and spill marks before reconditioning treatments restore interior leathers and vinyl to the crisp, unscathed cleanliness of their dealership youth.

Meara Image Auto Detailing is located near both the Boston-bound commuter boats and the Hingham Ship Yard's waterfront shopping and dining attractions. When available, the automotive experts also offer Groupon customers one night of free heated garage parking, allowing motorists to ship off, spend a night on the town, or enjoy a secret rendezvous with a rental while their own car is cleaned and safely stored.

Stately, Historical Mansion in New England Countryside

The wallpaper inside The White House Inn was hand-painted nearly a century ago. In fact, much of the decor inside the Victorian-style mansion can make you feel like you've walked into a time warp. It still has its original light fixtures, an old-fashioned servant call system, and even a hidden staircase.

Built in 1915 as a summer home for a local lumber baron, The White House Inn is set atop a rolling hill on 16 quiet acres in southern Vermont. Take a walk through its 1.5 acres of gardens, and you'll find stone terraces designed by English landscape architect John Hall.

Various New England period pieces adorn each of the inn's guest rooms, which feature one or two queen beds or one king bed draped in elegant linens. Select rooms come equipped with a private terrace or balcony. Come morning, you can dig into a breakfast spread of omelets, pancakes, hot cereals, and more.

At the onsite restaurant, Chef Jeff Collins crafts gourmet cuisine ranging from dijon-crusted rack of lamb to goat- cheese fritters. Around dusk, it's worth it to stop by the casual Black Dog Tavern, which has gorgeous views of the sunset. The restaurant is also equipped with a wood-burning stove; stop by to enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail and some lighter fare.

You can relax here year-round; there's an indoor heated pool, a spa, and a sauna. You can also play games such as pool and darts or improve your virtual crocheting skills on the Wii console.

Since it's nestled in the mountains of southern Vermont, the town of Wilmington is a haven for outdoorsy activities in the spring and summer. For a peaceful hike or mountain bike ride, visit the nearby Mount Snow, which has more than 20 miles of trails that course through the Green Mountain National Forest. You can also take chairlift rides to the summit, which towers at 3,600 feet.

Just a scenic drive from the inn is Lake Whitingham, also known as Harriman Reservoir. Stop by here for boating or to fish for walleye and pike.

The quaint town of Wilmington is classic Vermont: family farms set up roadside stands selling produce, and you can check out gallery displays by local artists inside vintage buildings.

There's nothing more relaxing than floating down a river, except for floating down a river that doesn't suddenly drop off into a majestic waterfall. Be at peace with this Groupon.

This Groupon is valid for any Essex River cruise, including daily narrated tours in the tidal saltwater marsh. Boats also explore the marsh on Saturday and Sunday morning Coffee & Muffin cruises, as well as on romantic sunset cruises that feature an onboard bar. Reservations are required, but please note that same-day reservations can often be accommodated.

Essex River Cruises's prices vary throughout the week.

When the Ice Age ended more than 15,000 years ago, melting glaciers created the saltwater estuary that today sustains the Essex River's myriad boaters, clammers, and fisherman. Amid this naturally beautiful backdrop, Essex River Cruises and Charters floats its two handsome spectator vessels, the Essex River Queen I and the Essex River Queen II. Guides lead daily narrated cruises through the estuary, navigating the protected waters and pointing out the various local flora and fauna of the salt marsh. Cruises embark daily from May to October and also include weekend breakfast cruises or romantic sunset cruises for couples or pairs of star-crossed dolphins. Their fleet is also available for group tours and charters for up to 100 passengers at a time, and they cater signature clambakes and other events along the tidal beach.

We all scream for ice cream, especially when the truck is teetering on the edge of the cliff. Scoop to the rescue with this Groupon.

One-dozen cupcakes bedecked with colorful decorations and sprinkles combine fluffy cake with frosty ice cream.

Upon seeing the iced and sprinkled goodies that glisten under the display case at CB Scoops, it's obvious that the bakery excels in the art of crafting inventive sweet treats. Behind the counter, staffers scoop generous portions of ice cream in seasonal and mainstay flavors such as butter pecan, death by chocolate, and coffee almond fudge to cool down maws or overheated laptop batteries. The flavors pour into cupcakes as well as ice cream cakes and festively decorated ice cream pizzas divided into tasty slices. In addition to its celebratory dainties, the kitchen also churns out sandwiches and soups.

From catapulting flaming soldiers over castle walls to sitting on active geysers, humans have long been fixated on flying through the air. Absorb the wonderment of flight with this Groupon.

During introductory flight lessons, an FAA-certified instructor shows students how to operate the controls of a Robinson R44 Raven helicopter. Before stepping foot in the single-engine chopper, the student and instructor first review some required materials on the ground. Once aboard, the duo practices such aerial maneuvers as takeoffs, climbs, and turns. For the technically inclined, East Coast Aero Club recommends some helicopter-operation reading material, found on the company's introductory flight webpage.

Since 1985, the FAA-certified team of pilots and instructors at East Coast Aero Club has shepherded citizens from Hanscom Field airport to the skies above Boston for sightseeing, introductory flights, and pilot-certification programs. The crew oversees a 35-aircraft-strong fleet composed of planes by Piper, Cessna, Cirrus, and Diamond, as well as helicopters by Robinson. The company's entry-level educational program, Learn to Fly, matches pupils up with one of more than 25 certified flight instructors, who teach students how to read each craft's instruments and back issues of SkyMall.

But passengers don't just learn about flight; they also learn about the area around them. Scenic flights afford aerial views of the city, soaring from Hanscom Field over such sights as the Lexington battlefields, the Charles River, and the USS Constitution. Passengers can bring along cameras to capture the spectacular views and document any crop circles they spot in the outfield at Fenway Park.

The three holes on a bowling ball represent the three phases of bowling: wind-up, release, and genuflection. Send a ball properly on its way with this Groupon.

$38 for a two-hour bowling package for up to six (up to a $97.98 total value)

Westgate Lanes' rates fluctuate throughout the week.

Though Westgate Lanes has been open for more than half a century, you'd never know it from just looking at the Brockton institution, which benefited from a pre-Millennium face-lift in 1999. Today, all 62 lanes feature automatic scoring, new furniture, and modern lighting, which casts a celestial aura during prize-packed cosmic bowling on Saturday nights. Open 365 days a year, the facility swings open its doors to challenge sphere-flinging friends, leagues, and parties with frames of tenpin or candlepin, a variation of bowling that uses smaller balls and requires more concentration than teaching a mechanical bull long division. High-definition TVs orbit the center's 13 billiards tables, and, between competitive rounds, players can refuel fatigued fingers at Harry's Pub and Grill.

You know the saying -- if you got it, flaunt it. But if you've been hiding your grin behind closed lips, then you'll want to grab today's deal from Tufts Dental Associates for a boost of confidence: Pay $49 for an initial Invisalign exam with a consultation, and -- if you're considered an Invisalign candidate -- you'll also receive a take-home teeth-whitening kit and $2,000 toward a full Invisalign treatment (a $3,025 value). Easily accessible by bus, T, or car, this Kneeland Street office is home to the prestigious Dr. Amit Sachdeo, a Premier Invisalign Provider and a Harvard-trained dentist who was voted one of the best in the US by the Consumer's Research Council of America from 2008 to 2012. A popular alternative to traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and removable for your comfort. And after utilizing your whitening kit, you'll be flashing your pearly whites with pride to anyone who's lucky enough to cross your path.

Without massages, shoulders would stiffen into immobility and fall victim to freeloading parrots and the burden of carrying Earth's heavyset brother, Girth. Pamper your perches with this Groupon.

Pax Massage

Though massage can pamper and relax, Helena Hughes knows it can also heal. The owner and massage therapist at Pax Massage has believed in the power of touch ever since it brought peace to her terminally ill grandmother and her grieving mother. Massage provided her grandmother an hour to herself every week and raised her spirits. For her mother, "it was more of an emotional thing, of someone taking care of her for that hour." After her grandmother passed way, Hughes returned to her job in PR but couldn't muster much enthusiasm. "I kept going back to [the fact] that my grandmother and mother were able to get through this time with the help of a healing touch." So, with the encouragement of her husband, Hughes decided to switch careers.

While her spa was being built, she took night-school classes in massage therapy and energy work. Now, she specializes in helping clients "who are going through a significant loss," just as another therapist once helped her own family. Hughes observes that when people go through loss, they accrue tension in their neck and shoulders, which can lead to injuries and discomfort. "What I preach to all my clients is that it's a choice to be in good health and to feel well, and I think that massage is very powerful in doing that [for them]," she says. Hughes joins nine other massage therapists and an aesthetician to offer healing massages and skincare services with Biotone products. Clients can request male or female massage therapists.

The first parachute was invented when Jack, tumbling haplessly from his titanium beanstalk, used a purloined pair of giant underpants to steady his fall. Glide over the sea safely with this Groupon.

Hampton Beach Parasail and Jet Ski

Captain Mike, a Coast Guard-licensed boater, takes singles, pairs, and groups of three onto the water in a boat built in 2011 and checked daily for safety. Parasailers prep for their ascent by strapping into equipment garnered from the world's leading parasail equipment manufacturers. A multicolored parachute then pulls them soaring into the blue firmament for a thrilling ride and views typically only seen while inside a paper airplane.

The six different parasailing experiences cater to varying tastes, with the Wet 'n' Wild option guaranteeing a dunk in the water and the Elevator Gone Mad flight promising patrons a quick shot into the air before falling gently back to earth. For another means of taking in the sights, the crew sets up beach-goers with safe, speedy jet skis that can hold up to three passengers.

Boat rides are the most fun when they're fast, like commuting to work or changing your pants in public. Make a splash with this Groupon.

Tours cover the history of the harbor's islands as guides point out lighthouses, forts, and other historic structures, and pull in for close-up glimpses. As the speedy watercraft slices through the spray, tours trace a stoplight-free path through the water between locales such as Spectacle Island, Long Island, Georges Island, and Deer Island. Guests who choose the scavenger hunt option also get clue cards and cameras with which to photograph discoveries before they carve off on a high-speed scavenger hunt judged by individual scores. While participants won't know their mission until after they arrive, they receive ample instruction on how to scan their surroundings. Participants on both trips are outfitted with lifejackets and weather-appropriate boating gear if needed. Groups are capped at six passengers to allow one-on-one time with guides and to make it easier for the harbor's bards to compose sea chanties about them. Patrons with disabilities or special needs may call to arrange a similar tour.

The guides at RIB Adventure Tours conduct informative history tours and scavenger hunts around Boston Harbor, even when the horizon becomes a blur; all tours take place aboard 26-foot-long rigid, inflatable speedboats. Built to Navy SEAL specifications by a local Massachusetts boat manufacturer, the boats keep riders secure aboard jockey seats. On guided history tours, passengers snag high-speed glimpses of harbor island landmarks and during scavenger hunts, guides prompt passengers to look for environmental clues and give individual scores. Winners get bragging rights, boat tour prizes from partner Hestia Cruises, and a trophy jar of salty sea air. Captains and tour guides brief passengers on safety before all excursions and supply them with high-grade waterproof cameras to take pictures of passing scenery.

Inner peace is like the Sasquatch-many people claim it's real, but most remain skeptical until the moment it seizes them while they're meditating on a mountaintop. Bring the bliss with this Groupon.

At studios in Burlington and Cambridge, experienced instructors focus on Hatha-style poses during classes for all skill levels. Restorative and gentle yoga sessions incorporate props to bolster bodies toward greater relaxation, while Yin/Yang classes balance deeply held stances with more active stretches.

Soni Anderson has been a yoga enthusiast since infancy. As a baby in the Fiji islands, she received yoga massage from her grandmother while her grandfather danced and performed stories from ancient Hindu texts. Her village endorsed meditation and an ayurvedic lifestyle, prompting Soni to practice her asanas alongside extended family and friends as she matured. Today, as the owner and head teacher of SoniYoga, she strives to combine her grandfather's playful mindset with the therapeutic customs of her homeland.

SoniYoga focuses on the Hatha style, though its two studios also embrace restorative, Kundalini, and yin and yang postures during certain classes. A serene atmosphere of acceptance welcomes all students to challenge themselves each time they visit, whether they wish to push the boundaries of their flexibility with a more advanced pose or with a more restrictive suit of armor. Soni also channels her holistic upbringing by offering Ayurvedic counseling, products, and massage services which can help customize a wellness plan for clients based on their body types.

Our feet hang off the end of our race-car beds, and come to think of it, these NASCAR pajamas don't really fit anymore, either. Lucky for us, today's deal is especially for big kids: Pay $199 and get a 12-lap Shootout! driving experience at New Hampshire Motor Speedway from The Racing Experience (a $399 value). After a driver's meeting, some basic instruction and a few warm-up laps, race at speeds of up to 120 MPH in a real NASCAR Cup-style stock car against up to seven other student drivers. Passing is allowed from the drop of the green flag, along with in-car radio instruction from your spotter. With your family cheering you on from your pit box, zoom across the finish line and into adulthood with a deal you can't outgrow -- though we'll understand if you feel a little too big for your britches afterward.

Historical Inn with Glass-Enclosed Porch Overlooking Lake

In the 19th century, some of the Northeast's industrial pioneers- including Silas March, an entrepreneur and New York state assemblyman-spent their idle days in a clapboard estate built along the shores of Mariaville. In 2003, husband-and-wife innkeepers Rick and Lorrie Runnels purchased this historical home and dubbed it the Mariaville Lake Bed and Breakfast. Since then, they've made extensive renovations while managing to preserve the building's casual, Federal-style elegance; it still has its original moldings, wood-burning fireplaces, and hardwood floors in some of the guest rooms.

The building is tucked into a woodsy area along the private, 200-acre Mariaville Lake, and it's a prime spot to get in some fishing and swimming. The B&B also owns two kayaks, one canoe, and one rowboat, which are all available for guests. Or feel free to take a stroll through the wealth of hiking trails that crisscross the property; one in particular leads to a beaver dam. In summer and fall, you can tell ghost stories and dry your laundry over a crackling bonfire in the evening.

The inn's five guest rooms are individually decorated, but all look out to Mariaville Lake. You have to use an old-fashioned skeleton key to get into the Vineyard and Lakeview rooms, as they are located in the original part of the house.

Come morning, the innkeepers serve a breakfast by candlelight in the formal dining room or on the glass-enclosed porch. The chefs prepare a different hot entree each morning, such as banana-stuffed french toast, veggie frittatas, or puffed apple pancakes. You can typically find house-made pastries, fresh juices, yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee, and tea.

Mariaville is part of the 18th century town of Duanesburg, located about 30 miles west of Albany. Thanks to its location along the 200-acre Mariaville Lake, the town became a resort community in the 1920s. Not a whole lot has changed since then; there's still only one traffic light in the city to date, and every high-school class is taught by the mayor.

The town of Schenectady offers a dose of culture fewer than 15 miles east. Aside from shopping and restaurants, you can find the historical Proctors Theater, which opened as a vaudeville venue in the early 20th century but sank into disrepair by the late 1970s. A group of concerned citizens rallied to restore the theater, which now hosts regular performances of ballets, musicals, comedians, and concerts.

The renowned We-Vibe II ($99.99) emits tremors through two nodes, and K-Y Yours + Mine Kissable Sensations lubricant ($24.99) adds chocolate and strawberry undertones to romantic rendezvous.

Their selection of massage oils, lubricants, and adult toys-which occupies stores spread throughout the Northeast and Texas-contains goods from such established brands as We-Vibe, Kamasutra, and K-Y. They staff female-friendly merchandise, as well as products that help couples create more sparks in the bedroom than a master metalworker soldering a "do not disturb" sign to the door. The staff stresses openness and acceptance in regards to romantic endeavors, an attitude that also fuels their unwavering support of the LGBT community.

Even though water covers most of the earth's surface, humans spend most of their lives on land and a small portion in the air while they're sleeping. Float on with this Groupon.

Utilizing GPS, radar, and computer maps, 88- to 100-foot vessels carry passengers out of Boothbay Harbor and into the local habitats of whales, including sperm whales and humpbacks. Onboard naturalists narrate the tour, dishing out whale facts and gossiping about the lavish lifestyles of other animals, including sea birds, dolphins, and harbor seals. Throughout tours, passengers can slip into the galley to purchase snacks and drinks.

Whale watching was a relatively new concept when John Fish's grandfather started giving tours. "We kind of originated it," Mr. Fish says. "Thirty years ago we were the only ones doing whale watching." As the company became more successful over the years, additional captains were brought on to cover the demand. Today, these crews continue to ferry groups into the habitats of several whale species, including humpback whales and sperm whales. Though the whales seen along Cap'n Fish Whale Watch's journeys still breach and refuse to sign autographs, other things have changed over the years. Below deck, the current fleet's engines work to reduce emissions and provide a fume-free experience. Above deck, 360-degree-viewing decks and modern technology help bring whales into sight. Onboard computers display large maps of where the aquatic mammals are known to swim, and GPS systems reroute boats around mermen constructing new reefs. In addition to illuminating the behavior of whales for passengers, the crew's wildlife experts point passengers toward other animals they spot along the way, such as white-sided dolphins and harbor seals. Though some variables are beyond their control, the crew members almost always spot whales and boasted a 98% success rate in 2009.

Some people love springtime -- but you're more into swing time.

All instructors have state-of-the-art equipment (like three-dimensional swing modeling) at their disposal to help you improve your game, and golfers of all skill levels are welcome. You might not care about blooming flowers -- but you do want to get onto the green.

Victorian-Style B & B Secluded on Wooded Hilltop

Surrounded by woods and meadows and a few miles outside of a small New Hampshire town, Rosewood Country Inn recalls early American rural life with nearly all of its facets. A stone-wall border and sunny porches highlight the outside, and fireplaces light up the suites and common areas. Daily breakfasts served by candlelight are made with locally-sourced vegetables. And because of its gardens and apple trees, the inn draws in local wildlife such as deer, moose, and turkeys that roam Rosewood's 12 hilltop acres to munch on native plants and drink from the freshwater pond.

Rosewood Country Inn was built about 1850 as a Victorian-style home before it was expanded into a lodge that welcomed notable guests such as Jack London, Charlie Chaplin, and Charlie Chaplin's sentient mustache. Some of the rooms have been named after these more famous visitors, including the rose-colored Mary Pickford suite, where a canopied four poster bed overlooks the gazebo. All included rooms have in-unit log fireplaces.

Resident chef Lesley Marquis serves breakfast each morning in the dining room, where diners can eat amid views of the pond and waterfall. The chef crafts gourmet fare out of local ingredients, including farm-fresh eggs and maple syrup made from the inn's sugar bush.

The small town of Bradford acts as a gateway to New Hampshire's Lake Sunapee region, a popular summer getaway for nearby Bostonians. Activities on Lake Sunapee range from a scenic afternoon cruise to kayaking. The lake's swimmable beaches and surrounding Appalachian Mountains make up Mount Sunapee State Park, a scenic spot for hiking, swimming, and fishing. In June, the area will also feature the opening of Mount Sunapee's Adventure Park with activities such as treetop obstacle courses, chairlift rides, and disc golf.

Also located on Lake Sunapee, The Fells estate and gardens was once the summer home of Abraham Lincoln's private secretary, John Hay. With this deal, you'll get two admissions to the estate's grounds and access to main-house tours (starting at the end of May and held Wednesday-Sunday), which highlight its colonial revival architecture and gallery of rotating art exhibits. You'll also be able to tour the gardens and hike along a 1.5-mile nature trail that wends through pine forests and past massive glacial erratics created by the continental ice sheet more than 10,000 years ago.

Per person, each package includes:

Following a stint in the New England Collegiate Baseball League, the North Shore Navigators kick off their inaugural season as members of the nascent Futures Collegiate Baseball League with a perfect storm of early-season, home-field showdowns. Athletes from colleges from around the nation convene in Lynn for the summer's 27 home games, including sophomore infielder Alex Markakis, who last spring led St. Joseph's College of Maine to the Great Northeast Conference tournament, and junior pitcher Bobby Dean, who last season registered a 2.86 ERA and pitched a no-hitter against a corps of geese loitering in the parking lot.

Built in 1940, the Navs' home port, Fraser Field, has hosted exhibition matches featuring many Major League teams and future MLB Hall of Famers; the Pittsburgh Pirates' Vince DiMaggio-brother to Joe-hit a home run during the park's debut matchup. Between plays, fans can snag hot dogs and cold brews from the concession stands as tykes trot through the play area or hunt down mascot Chomps the Alligator for a taste of authentic grilled Cajun cotton.

Boys and girls spend one week honing basic skills in kayaking, sailing, or a combination of the two, and participate in lively land and water games to determine who was raised in a swimming pool.

Boating in Boston finds itself at the docks of six area lakes and ponds, helping visitors to undertake watery adventures with a fleet of more than 200 canoes, kayaks, sailboats, pedal boats, and paddleboards.

The crew of instructors also instills a love of boating in the littlest buccaneers with youth summer camps that teach basic skills and safety.

Live theater tends to be more thrilling than film, largely due to the heightened odds of seeing someone flub a line or deliver a stirring monologue while sitting in your lap. Vicariously live the freewheeling thespian life with this GrouponLive deal to Ogunquit Playhouse. For $25, you get one ticket for best available seating in the value or super-saver sections (up to a $54.50 value). Choose from the following shows:

Surviving more than 70 years and undergoing recent renovations to its historic structure, Ogunquit Playhouse, founded by Broadway showman Walter Hartwig, continues its resilient tradition of producing award-winning Broadway musicals with top-notch professional casts. The theater's production of Always…Patsy Cline pays homage to the eponymous country-music legend with a career-spanning set list of 27 memorable songs. The musical reacquaints ears to twangy classics ingrained in America's subconscious jukebox, such as "Crazy" and "Walkin' After Midnight," while painting an endearing portrait of the charismatic songstress, focusing on crumbled grocery-store lists and letters Patsy wrote to her friend Louise Seger, played by Emmy-winner Sally Struthers.

Ogunquit Playhouse's rendition of Rodgers and Hammerstein's World War II-era Broadway classic, South Pacific, takes its cues from Lincoln Center Theater's Tony-winning production. Throughout the lively musical, toes tap along to numbers such as "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair," while two couples struggle to keep war from encroaching on their oasis, much like a lunch lady moments before the lunch bell.

Students select horses and learn Western riding techniques and roping or barrel riding from state-licensed instructors.

The licensed instructors at Cowboy Jim's Western Adventures rustle up nostalgia for the Old West through riding on the old ponderosa as well as Western- and English-style riding lessons. Upon arrival, ranch visitors mingle with the stable's extensive roster of horses, including such breeds as arabians, indian paints, and true western quarter horses, before deciding which to ride based on chemistry cultivated over a mutual appreciation for oats. Lessons commence with a comprehensive instructor demonstration and an evaluation of the student's riding style and ability. Apprenticing cowboys can round out their Western education through roping, playing the guitar, or barrel riding, which was how cowboys got home from the saloon after friends took away the keys to their horses.

Flower beds and rocky outcrops along short-grass corridors further accent the layout's bucolic environs. Clubbers looking for lessons can seek out golf pro Ed Coleman, who roams the grounds in a zen state attained through 20 years of coaching experience and aromatherapy that uses the odor of freshly mowed fairways. Cozy, green-side seating and tables nestled in shaded porches await golfers for post-round relaxing at the clubhouse restaurant.

Like poker, a game of golf involves intense concentration, the tossing around of clubs, and an inevitable joker whom no one takes seriously.
