Fly Down a Zip Line for $20

Deal Location
8600 Foundry Street
Savage, MD 20763
Terrapin Adventures
Two Zip Line Rides and One Giant Swing Ride
$ 20 buy now

If you're anything like us, you spent a significant chunk of your childhood climbing trees and running around with your arms outstretched, making airplane noises and dreaming of flight... and possibly wearing footie pajamas. You may have outgrown the pjs, but you can still relive two of your childhood memories today, cause we're strapping into a half-off deal to soar above the trees and fly through the air for $20 with Terrapin Adventures in Savage, Maryland. Buckle up and let gravity glide you up to 20 miles per hour through the canopy on two rides along a 330-ft.-long zip line. Afterward, strap into a harness, get pulled back 40 ft., and tear through the forest with two Gs of force in Terrapin's patented Giant Swing ride. Just don't throw a temper tantrum when it's time to leave.

Deal Location
2147 P Street NW
Washington, DC 20037
Marrakesh Palace
$50 to Spend on Food and Drink
$ 25 buy now

Ah, Dupont: splashing waterfalls, buttoned-up debonair trappings, and… authentic Berber palaces? Aiwa! Thread Dupont's needle-tight passages (P Street), wander its throbbing souks (G-Star RAW), and steer your donkey (Hummer) toward Marrakesh Palace where $25 gets you $50 worth of traditional Moroccan cuisine. Push past hand-woven carpets, floors splashed with tile mosaics, and dangling canopy drapes to dine on kebabs, couscous, hummus, baklava, and daily specials for lunch and dinner. Throw in a team of belly dancers shimmying nightly in the dining room, and it's no wonder Zagat declared that the Palace's "sights, aromas, and staff transport you to a world of delicately spiced meat and vegetable dishes served graciously in a cozy atmosphere." Red City has never been closer…

H Street Country Club
$50 to Spend on Food and Drink, and Two Rounds of Mini Golf
$ 25 buy now

Pull out those critter pants -- they're not just for Nantucket anymore -- and pop that collar like it's 1985. Today's deal is for your inner prepster: Pay just $25 for two rounds of mini golf, plus $50 worth of food and drink at H Street Country Club, where Georgetown prep meets H-Street hipster. With a Dos Equis or margarita in hand, take to the links to navigate the nine holes of the only-in-D.C. golf course -- taking you from the crash-filled Beltway to "The Awakening" of Marion Berry. Then refuel with way over par fare that befits its country-club pedigree, such as duck quesadillas, lamb enchiladas, pan-seared red snapper, pork rib carnitas, and coconut flan. That's what we call a hole-in-one.
