One Month of Unlimited UV Tanning or Two Custom Airbrush Tans at Tiki Tanning (Up to 65% Off)
Although outdoor tanning allows humans to absorb the sun’s natural energy, the sapped star will eventually turn pale and suffer the fate of Earth’s original sun, the moon. Save the sun with today’s Groupon to Tiki Tanning in Grand Rapids and Comstock Park. Choose between the following options:
- For , you get one month of unlimited UV tanning (a value).
- For , you get two personalized airbrush tans (a value). Spray tans are only available in Grand Rapids.

Alternatively, patrons can eschew UV light altogether with a custom-applied airbrush tan. Aesthecitians administer the services, spritzing partially clothed bodies with an even coat of bronzer. Airbrush tans not only deliver a uniform sun-kissed glow, but also allow patrons to elude former flings at nudist luncheons.
Though Tiki Tanning sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

$25 for a Paintball Outing for Two with Equipment Rental and 500 Paintballs in Grandville ($50 Value)
A trip to the paintball field is the only way to treat an itchy trigger finger, outside of expensive rash creams or firing a water gun carved from a cactus. Scratch the itch for vengeance with today’s Groupon: for , you get a paintball outing for two at T.C. Paintball in Grandville (a value). The paintball outing includes the following:
- Admission for two
- Safety equipment
- Two paintball-gun rentals and CO2
- 500 paintballs total
Marksmen with CO2-powered guns volley paintballs back and forth across T.C. Paintball’s indoor and outdoor battlefields, which teem with obstacles to duck under and dive in between. Paint slingers first don protective goggles and facemasks before taking to the color-strewn warzones to prevail over foes with patience, keen eyes, and deceptive trails of free pizza slices. Pairs can join forces and divvy up their cache of 500 pigment-filled spheres, exhausting their ammunition while taking out distant threats or experimenting with pointillism on each other’s backs. The experienced staff at T.C. Paintball’s well-stocked pro shop offers sharpshooting tips gleaned from years of chromatic combat, and can replenish paintball supplies that run low. T.C. Paintball’s field is available for open play Thursdays and Fridays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on weekends from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

One-Night Stay for Two at Shanty Creek Resorts’ Summit Village Lakeview Hotel in Northern Michigan
Spacious, Family-Friendly Resort with Lake and Mountain Views
No interior designer, no matter the budget, can compete with Mother Nature. As sumptuous as a recent multimillion-dollar overhaul has made the lobby of Shanty Creek Resorts’ Summit Village Lakeview Hotel, the eye continually scans past the elegant chandeliers and velvet seating to take in sweeping views of the outdoors through three levels of windows. Surrounded by miles of snow-covered hardwood forest, the frozen Lake Bellaire glints in the sunlight. At Shanty Creek’s Summit and Schuss Mountains, skiers and boarders crisscross 53 trails and four terrain parks.
The rustic yet contemporary feel of the main lobby is echoed in the décor of guest rooms. A lattice-patterned carpet rests beneath two queen-size beds dressed in plush white linens. Framed floral prints adorn the textured walls, and colorful damask curtains frame a sliding-glass door leading to a private balcony or patio overlooking the lake in some rooms.
Back in the main lobby, The Lakeview Restaurant serves sophisticated cuisine complemented by picturesque views of the lake from floor-to-ceiling windows. A large wood-burning fireplace, built into a stone structure rising dramatically at the north end of the dining room, supplements the cozy warmth of table lamps. The kitchen prepares inventive regional fare such as niçoise meatballs and flash-fried calamari, and a handsome wooden bar beckons to diners who’d like to sip a cocktail or perform a rousing clog-dancing routine upon its surface.
Bellaire, Michigan: Quaint Lakeside Village Abounding with Mountain Activities
In contrast to the mostly flat Midwest, northern Michigan’s terrain undulates with modest peaks and valleys. The dual peaks at Shanty Creek become a skier’s haven in the winter. Supertickets provide all-day access to trails on Summit Mountain and Schuss Mountain, which include NASTAR racing courses that let skiers time their slalom runs or snowball-pitching speeds. Tables, rails, and a 300-foot halfpipe spike adrenaline levels in the terrain parks, and tubing sessions give non-skiers something to cheer about on the mountain’s north face.

$50 for a Precision Furnace Tune-up from Godwin Heating & Cooling ($139 Value)

Godwin Heating & Cooling is part of a service company that got its start as a plumbing service and single hardware store in 1955, and many of its technicians are veterans of 20+ years. For the precision furnace tune-up, reliable techs arrive promptly at customers’ doorsteps to take a cold, hard look at furnaces, promoting system efficiency and the safety of those who enjoy its warming embrace.

Equipment checks then assess the proper functioning of the flues, the high- and low-voltage wiring, and the furnace blower, preventing it from pelting dinner-party guests with pistachios.
