One of the ways that our sightly-larger-than-average family can do so many fun things while we travel is thanks to Daily Deal sites like Groupon! Groupon offers 'local' experiences at a discount (usually 50%!).
It's super easy to sign up for an account, and when you do, you get to specify which cities you would like to receive deals for via email; our family gets Phoenix, San Antonio, and Corpus Christi because we know that we will be heading to these places each year. Of course you can look at and buy deals from any city across the US.
I thought I would share the groupon for San Antonio that we bought this morning (and will be using tomorrow :)
Admission for 2 to TOWER OF AMERICA for $11 (half off! :)
Tower of America is a 750 foot tower in downtown San Antonio - the admission includes unlimited (for 1 day) entrance to the Flags Over Texas observation deck (accesed via outside elevator), the history exhibits, and the 4-D movie ride. If you want to check out the deal for yourself, you can find it here: Tower of America Groupon Deal

(the link is my affiliate link - if you sign up through it, and you then buy a groupon now or 'down the road', it will give us a $10 Groupon credit. If you don't feel comfortable using my link, you can always just go to groupon.com :)
We have been walking past the Tower every day for the last 4 days, and wondered what the hoopla was about, but weren't willing to pay $11 per person to find out (under 4 is free, so it would have been $110 for our fam! ouch!). Because I had some Groupon credit, it cost us $25 for the 12 of us to visit - that I can handle! LOL! :)
Anyway, check out Groupon for yourself - who knows what kind of fun things you will find to do with your family!
I'm already a groupon member so I can't sign up again under you can I? I love groupon. We've done some fun things that normally we wouldn't do.
ReplyDeleteHope for no wind because it can sway a bit in the wind. This is from the Hemisphere days. I hope you have a beautiful clear day for your visit.

Hi Sandie! No, you can't sign up under me, but did you know that Billings is now on Groupon too? I never check what they have there, but thought of you when I realized it! :)
ReplyDeleteLongdog, I will be praying for no wind then because that would completely freak me out. I'm thinking that I will be staying away from the observation deck at it is! LOL! ~not a great heights lover here, but the kids think it'll be cool :)
