Performing animals have long been a source of entertainment for vacationing humans, just as synchronized swimmers have long been a source of comedy for vacationing dolphins. Feast your eyes on theatrical fauna with today’s deal: for $17, you get one child or adult ticket (a $25 value for adults, $12.50 value for children ages 3–12) and a backstage tour (a $10 value) at The Dancing Horses Theatre in Delavan, near Lake Geneva (up to a $35 total value). Children 2 and younger are always admitted free. This voucher is good for any show through January 15.

The Dancing Horses Theatre enlists a team of experienced equestrians, who have cut their teeth at Ringling Bros. Circus and Universal Studios Orlando, to delight spectators with performances of equine grace. Ponies prance through a 300-seat, climate-controlled arena in the theatre’s current show, Christmas Magic—a hall-decking spectacle of carefully constructed choreography, adorable animal costuming, and classical holiday music. Among the oats-driven vignettes, a Christmas ballerina horse charms with elegant movements, and Prancer the Reindeer greets guests and dispels rumors about Rudolph’s secret denim nose. An exotic-bird show, delights audiences’ eyes with roller-skating, basketball playing, and singing parrots, with a special appearance by Echo from America’s Got Talent. Afterward, guests meander behind the spectacular scenes with a backstage tour. Trainers give a short presentation on the horse-training process before leading crowds to the stables to meet, pet, and create a secret handshake with the hoofed performers.
