With today’s Groupon: for $12, you get two reserved grandstand tickets to any 2011 Vancouver Canadians Baseball Club home game at Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium (a $25 value).

A Class A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, Vancouver Canadians Baseball Club defends its storied 60-year-old crown as Canada’s only Minor League team. Fans settle into reserved grandstand seats, eagerly surrounding home plate and first and third base to watch players shrug off gravity’s grabby hugs during regular games. Watch the Canadians’ hardballers vie for summertime diamond dominance. All games begin at either 1:05 p.m. or 7:05 p.m., and on scheduled nights a fireworks show concludes games with colourful shoulder punches to overhead clouds. Spectators show their stomach support with Scotiabank Stadium’s catcher-mitt-challenging footlong hot dogs and well-chilled domestic brews.

Visitors can properly pump up game-ready eyeballs on the stadium’s recent artistic upgrades, and on Sundays kids can run the bases after the game. A slew of on-field activities occur amid baseball action, inviting fans to watch the dancing cat-rental-store grounds crew, start their flameless engines in sushi races, and arrive early for special fan giveaways or to watch the grass grow.

In addition to bowling, Xcalibur Bowling puts hands to use tossing darts, shooting pool, playing arcade games, and using free WiFi to blog about the bowling shoes and top hats on display. Xcalibur Grill serves up a menu of appetizers and entrees for pre- or postpizza feasting, and The Edge Sports Bar plays sports matches on big screens and pours libations.

Today’s Groupon to BC Wake Boats on Granville Island. Choose between the following options:

• For $44, you get a Freeride water-sports excursion Monday–Thursday (a $99.68 value).
• For $49, you get a Freeride water-sports excursion Friday–Sunday (a $99.68 value).

BC Wake Boats’ Transport Canada– and maritime-first-aid-certified drivers lead aquatic adventurers of all experience levels on water-sporting trips from the shores of Granville Island. Freeride tours equip guests with all the necessary gear before launching them out on the open waves for two sets (20 minutes total riding time) of wakeboarding, tubing, wake surfing, or water skiing. Participants can execute high-speed, behind-the-boat tricks or perfect nightclub-act impressions of skimmed pebbles while gripping a towrope and gliding across the water’s surface on a wakeboard or strapped securely into a set of water skis. Wake surfers attach to a towrope as they accelerate behind the boat but eschew their tethers for free surfing in the speedboat’s wake. Guests can also opt for high-speed tubing sessions, which require no special skills beyond an ability to grip an oversized donut and a degree in quantum physics. Though drivers quickly pinpoint the appropriate speed suited to each rider’s wave-trimming efficacy, each excursion varies in length depending on the number of on-board participants.

BC Wake Boats also offers deals through social-media platforms. Be sure to plan ahead to get the best value from your Groupon.

Go-kart racing enables adults to redeem themselves after sixth-graders beat them in an integral calculus duel. Assert adult achievements with today’s Groupon to F440 Racing Challenge, located in Tsawwassen. Choose between the following options:

  • For $19, you get 20 minutes of go-karting (a $40 value).
  • For $50, you get 15 minutes of family go-karting for two adults and two children (a $100 value).

F440 Racing Challenge’s course runs more than 1 kilometre in length, with 17 challenging and contrasting corners. Solo drivers aged 16 and older commandeer a kart from F440’s eclectic inventory of club karts, and speedsters as young as 8 years old start with kiddie karts, which reach more than 40 kilometres per hour. Families looking to spend quality trash-talking time together step into double karts. Miniature motorists then nourish the belly’s competitive fire, zooming past lesser motorists along thrillingly tight hairpins. An acceleration-inducing S-curve decreases the time needed to achieve wind-blown hair, and a diverse dispersal of decreasing radius turns upholds excitement throughout the adventure. Even the most skilled of motorists pay reverence to this admirable and complex track, offering bittersweet thanks during gold-cup acceptance speeches and heavy traffic. After redeeming their Groupon, buyers can race the rest of the day at a special rate of $15 per 20 minutes.

Motorists may manoeuvre the twists and turns of this track seven days a week, rain or shine. The 4,000-square-foot clubhouse contains a 1,500-square-foot viewing deck, a TV, and a snack shack for fuelling skeletal frames running on empty. Chomp on chips, cool off with ice-cream bars, or fill up on the true snack of champions—winning.
