Woodland Park Zoo: $10 Off Annual Zoo Membership

We love going to the zoo but it can get pricey if you go more than a couple times a year. So I was pretty excited when I found the $10 discount is available again. I waited too long last year and missed out on it. I'm not going to make that mistake again. I'm getting my membership now (and then crossing my fingers for a nice sunny day!).

Follow this link to get the discount. Then check out their great event calendar. There's lots of fun stuff coming up! I have a feeling we'll be spending a lot of time with the hippos and elephants this year!

Groupon: Seattle Aquarium Tickets Only $10

Groupon has a great deal on the Seattle Aquarium today. You can get admission for only $10. Adult tickets are usually $19.95 (age 13 and above), youth tickets are $13.95, and kids 3 and under are free. You rarely see coupons for a few dollars off admission so this is a great deal.

We checked out the Seattle Aquarium back in October and had a great time. My only complaint was the high parking costs. I think I might snag this deal and then see if I can find a better parking rate. Or maybe take the bus? Any suggestions?

If you are new to Groupon, go here to sign up. Then go here to purchase this great deal.

Fine Print: Expires Mar 31, 2012 Limit 1 per person, may buy multiple as gifts. Limit 1 per person per visit. Not valid 2/18-2/19 or 2/25-2/26. See the rules that apply to all deals.

Snohomish County YMCAs: 5 Visit Guest Pass and No Joining Fees in January

Is your New Year's Resolution to get back into shape or get the kids involved in some new activities? Well, here's your chance!

Head to the Snohomish County YMCA website and sign up to get a free Guest Pass for 5 visits. Then print out those passes and take your kids to Tot Time at the Mukilteo YMCA or Play Time at the Mill Creek YMCA. Or take a break from the kids and try out a group fitness class or do a little cardio on the treadmill.

If you give the YMCA a try and you end up loving it you can join this month (January) and your joining fees will be waived. I am a huge fan of the YMCA. The older my kids get, the more I love it. We're getting involved in their Preschool classes, swim lessons and play time. And of course there's always the free Child Watch and Adventure Zone for those days I need to sweat away my frustrations.

If you've already discovered all the fun the YMCA has to offer, share this with your friends. When they join you'll get a workout buddy and refund of one month of membership.
