In addition to providing recreational enjoyment, riding in go-karts and playing miniature golf are excellent ways to prepare children for a future filled with high-speed car chases and malevolent windmills. Ready the next generation with today’s Groupon: for $55, you get a Family Ride & Dine special for four at King Richard's Family Fun Park (a $110 value). The Family Ride & Dine special includes:

• Unlimited use of all outside attractions (except Extreme Cart and Merlin's Moat) for four
• One large pizza
• Two pitchers of fountain drinks

King Richard's Family Fun Park entertains foursomes with a potpourri of stomach-twisting rides, putt-perfecting mini golf, and fast-paced laser tag. Nuclear families or vacationing barbershop quartets can swing through shots on the mini-golf course before zipping around three age-specific go-kart tracks. A laser-tag labyrinth sets the stage for painless shootouts, as groups set their scopes on each other while sporting the same strobes, vests, and guns as a Wild West senior portrait. Adventure seekers plummet 30 feet on the adrenaline-eliciting Dungeon Drop ride, forcing hands to grasp at the nearest solid object postride, including slices of gooey pizza and fizzed-up soda pitchers.
