Looking for a cheap way to get out of the house or a fun gift for a family? Groupon has some great local deals right now, and a few of them get even cheaper with a promo code. Here are five favorites from across the South.
Georgia Aquarium – Atlanta, GA
If you haven’t been, this aquarium is a MUST! Seeing the whale sharks at the Georgia Aquarium never gets old, and right now you can save on general admission. Tickets are $49.99 (reg. $70.77). Use code FUN to take another $1.50 off, bringing it to $48.49. The aquarium is in Centennial Park District downtown, so you can pair it with a walk through the park or a stop at World of Coca-Cola.

Single-day tickets to Carowinds are about half off at $41.57 (reg. $84.23), or $40.39 with code FUN. The park sits right on the NC/SC state line at 14523 Carowinds Blvd. A great deal for cooler days when you aren’t sweating walking across the park.

Great Wolf Lodge – Concord, NC
GWL is always a big hit for families! Did you know can spend a day at Great Wolf Lodge’s indoor water park without booking a night? Single-day passes are $60 per ticket (reg. $84). You can buy 1, 2 or 4 passes, and each order comes with a 1-topping pizza and a 2-liter soda for the group, plus $40 in arcade credit per reservation. It’s at 10175 Weddington Road in Concord, about 20 minutes from uptown Charlotte. Because the water park is indoors, it works any time of year. Two things to know: you have to register your reservation online at least 24 hours before you go, and the pass is only good on the date you pick.
