Enjoy advances in film with today's Groupon: for $22, you get two movie tickets, one round of mini golf for two, two medium popcorns, and two medium drinks (up to a $50 value) at Aurora Cineplex and The Fringe mini golf course at Area 51 Family Entertainment Center in Roswell.

The entertainment mecca of Area 51 combines two of life's favorite escapes––movies and miniature golf––for a utopian entertainment outing. Fortifying the freshly built Area 51, Aurora Cineplex and The Fringe mini golf course whisk Walter Mittys away from daily doldrums with a vast array of frolicking distractions. With two tickets (up to an $18 value) to cinema paradiso, first daters, bosom buddies, or estranged ventriloquists can stuff their eyes with the latest blockbusters with 10 screens filled with the latest releases from Tinseltown moviecages. Two fluffy medium popcorns combined with two chilly medium drinks (an $18 value) keep munching mouths as busy and happy as watchful eyes.

Before or after the movie, or at a later date, commandeer a partner's putter and head to The Fringe for a round of mini golf ($14) at one of The Fringe's two golf courses with gracious greens that pit family, friends, and foes against 18 devious Lilliputian holes.

• I love this place! Staff is friendly. I like the concept of unlimited popcorn and they have the flavored popcorn seasonings. D.G., Yelp, 1/14/11
• Clean theatre, comfortable seats, family friendly. The soda machines are self service, meaning I can refill quick without standing in the concession line! We love it! Bennett311, Google Maps
