View Full Version : Good deals on interesting experiences
For great deals on all sorts of different things to do in the Orlando area try groupon dot com and choose Orlando as your city, you have to put in your email address which will result in them emailing you all sorts of interesting experiences at a very much reduced price.
Recent tickets I have bought have been for swimming with manatees in the Crystal River and swamp rides with Forever Florida, both less than half price.
Totally legit as far as I know and I've been using it for a while.
Do not expect major theme park tickets, this site is not for those, I've never seen them on there.
I joined their website recently but have not had anything as yet that I have bought, but they seem to have some good deals to unusual places!

I believe Groupon is being bought by Google.
Thanks for this, I didn't know there was a US site. I use the UK site often and have picked up some great Christmas presents.
I had also read that it was being bought by Google too Mark.

They pulled out of the Google deal. I've used the US site to buy a boat trip for my daughter in the summer in Boston and she had no trouble redeeming it.
I recently joined the Uk site and get emails everyday offering different things.
Have not really had a chance to sit down and investigate more closely, it is on the list.......................

Sounds like it's worth signing up just to find out these places exist! quite often our repeat guests want somewhere new to go, particularly as they are not big theme park fans or have visited them once too often. I'd love to visit Crystal River, always seem to run out of time on our visits.

I have used Groupon in the UK and the US. Never had a problem and very satisfied with the deals I chose. Although it can be tempting at times to purchase items and events just because they are a bargain!!! [msnwink]

I've used them loads for jungle golf, air boat rides etc and ice cream deals, pizza etc and never had any problem with the vouchers. We use them a lot in the uk too!
Groupon recently floated on the stock market and seemed to do quite well, although, it also seems like a lot of people are standing around scratching their heads and wondering why. The company has never made a profit and there is mixed feedback from the businesses that use it. In saying that, we've used it and it was all fine. In fact we also used a similar style site and when we went to use the company it was bust, I wonder if they realised that they were swamped with people wanting their services for 65% off then they wouldn't be in business anyway. Not a problem, though, as they have their no jibble guarantee, so we got refunded straight away.
My daughter and I have used them, we had a manicure and pedicure last month, will use them again.
I receive deals for the Orlando area, the deals are only for the day they send them!!
