The family is the basic unit of society—yet, statistically, family members are the very people most likely to steal the extra Arch Deluxe you've been saving for all these years. Solidify family alliances and suss out enemies with today's Groupon for admission to the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park, located near Ogden Canyon. Choose between two options:

• For $28, you get a family membership (a $60 value).
• For $10, you get a one-day family pass (a $24 value).

Family membership is valid for two parents and all spawn ages 17 and under; a one-day family pass admits two parents and their two favorite children.

Nearly eight acres in size, the dinosaur park features educational exhibits in the Elizabeth Dee Shaw Stewart museum, a laboratory with working paleontologists, and a nature park filled with more than 100 dinosaur sculptures. Robotics and a convincing system of sound effects enliven the oversized lizards, which include various species that used to inhabit Utah and the 20-foot-tall, 45-foot-long T. rex, which still lives there. Kids can also play in the dino-themed playground or visit the pond to chat with the giant trout. Click here to embark on a virtual tour of the park.

• Very awesome experience! I loved how it starts as a tour in the museum. The lights are dimmed, creating an eerie atmosphere. – KUMtngal, TripAdvisor
• Dinosaurs all over outside and a really NON cheesy Museum full of facts. Definitely take the kiddies here. – Jessica L., Yelp
