Scientists agree that children are our future, which is why most children are sealed in time capsules with a flashlight and a stack of magazines. Give a child something he or she will really dig with today's Groupon: for $25, you get a 10-session punch card for kids' (age 1–6) drop-in play time at Kick City Sports Park and Corvallis Sports Park (up to a $50 value).

Drop-in play sessions at Kick City Sports Park and Corvallis Sports Park entertain tykes with plush turf landscapes outfitted with balls, tunnels, playhouses, and toys. Every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday morning (Saturdays at the Corvallis location only), indoor soccer fields sprout foam noodles, tumbling mats, and play houses, which foster hours of rambunctious, imaginative fun. Since the indoor play palace is weather-resistant, children can slide and roll without the fear of mud, grass, or hot tar sullying their clothing. To strengthen the government-mandated bond between parent and child, each session requires a guardian be present at all times, just like the first day of college.
