Academy of Photo Arts
238 Supertest Rd., Toronto, Ontario
http://www.apaworkshops.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $39, you get a three-hour Digital Photography 101 workshop for beginners, intermediates, or advanced students at the Academy of Photo Arts on Supertest Road.

The Academy of Photo Arts imprints students with image-capturing expertise through interactive workshops at its studio. The beginner 101 workshop teaches composition fundamentals, the basics of exposure such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO specs, and light metering to optimise key camera settings for challenging conditions like shooting in fog or inside the belly of whale. The intermediate 101 workshop reviews topics from the beginner curriculum, then moves on to more advanced camera settings such as custom white balance and autofocus modes, equipping students to master tricks and creative techniques like panning before embarking on an advanced 101 class. Students must bring a digital camera, or be expedient at producing lifelike watercolours. For class dates beyond those listed, please see the Academy of Photo Arts workshops page, or call to inquire.

Amaya The Indian Room
http://www.amayarestaurant.com/
1701 Bayview Ave. Toronto, Ontario

Amaya The Indian Room dishes up traditional Indian recipes updated with contemporary, upscale twists in a modern, colourful atmosphere. Indulge in subcontinental favourites such as samosas ($8) to recall summers spent diving for savoury pastries in the Bay of Bengal. Entrees run the meaty gamut from light, pan-roasted Malai halibut in a lemon-scented coconut broth ($22) to rich, tandoori-spiced lamb lollipops served with mint, fenugreek, and a white wine reduction ($24). Vegetable sides, including a stuffed roasted eggplant steak ($11) and the yogic vegetable curry ($10), balance omnivorous dinner equations without requiring patrons to bust out their first-generation Casio graphing calculators.

Modern paintings and photographs of the Indian countryside line Amaya’s red-and-cream-colored walls and maple paneling, while bulbous woven lanterns adorn its ceilings. Hammered copper serving ware and beautifully plated dishes of belly-warming creations foster an environment as lavish as it is welcoming.

Hangar 6, Suite 216, Toronto, Ontario
http://www.helitours.ca/Groupon.htm

Today’s Groupon: for $75, you get a tour with Toronto Helicopter Tours (a $128.82 value).

Taking off from the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, Toronto Helicopter Tours transports land-locked citizens into the upper atmosphere by harnessing the levitating abilities of their safe, comfortable helicopters. With your city tour, you’ll experience inertial relief 2,000 feet above Toronto as you snap candids of the city’s main attractions, such as the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and the Royal Ontario Museum, and, if you’ve brought the kids, explain to them the city’s origins as a 17th-century sardine port. The 15-km tour traverses downtown at speeds of up to 176 km/h. Go solo and make some new airborne friends, or buy four Groupons for you and three staring-contest opponents and enjoy approximately eight minutes of aerial time in the privacy of your own copter. After the flight, Toronto Helicopter Tours will temporarily borrow passengers’ souls for a souvenir photo to aid in the taunting of flightless birds.

Reptilia
2501 Rutherford Road , Bldg A, Vaughan, Ontario
http://www.reptilia.org/

Today’s Groupon to Reptilia, a reptile repository in Vaughan. Choose from the following options:

  • For $7, you get a general-admission ticket (up to a $15 value).
  • For $36, you get a general-admission summer pass (a $79 value).
  • For $116, you get a four-session antiphobia class (a $299 value).
  • For $175, you get one week at Reptilia’s summer camp (a $349 value).

Reptilia corrals the cold-blooded of the earth to create one of Canada’s largest reptile zoos. With a general-admission ticket or general-admission summer pass, guests will get access to the scaled and slithering attractions at the 25,000-square-foot zoo. Ponder the Ouroboros of your meteorology career while viewing the zoo’s 22-foot-long pythons, or pay respect to all 14 feet and 1,100 pounds of the Nile crocodile, Induna.

Antiphobia courses pack four 90-minute, truth-illuminating sessions full of deconstructing myths, solving queries, and familiarizing participants with their phobias. Experts then introduce adventurous guests to animal artifacts, photographs, and bank statements before presenting the creatures in the context of their exhibits. Concluding each course is an optional interaction with a formerly feared fang bearer.

A week of summer camp imbues the hours with tours, reptilian events, and creature-centric arts and crafts, encouraging campers to learn about ecology, biology, and the fundamentals of Parseltongue. Campers will take Reptilia-designed courses with hands-on science activities and explore slithery topics through role playing and theatrical performances.

Feedings are held daily, giving guests up-close access to the reptilian rhapsody-in-jaws usually seen only by rodents, gazelles, and doomed safari guides. Numerous shows are held at the zoo throughout the day, allowing guests to learn a bit more about the creatures without having to delve into tedious alligator autobiographies or monitor-lizard memoirs.

http://fortheloveofcake.ca/

Embrace edible celebration with today’s deal: for $11, you get a ten-pack of cake balls at For the Love of Cake located in Liberty Village.

Helmed by cake countess Genevieve Griffin, For the Love of Cake treats patrons to freshly baked, cake-based desserts concocted with quality ingredients. Decadent cake balls are crafted with a rich, truffle-like blend of cake crumbs and creamy icing, which are shaped into a ball and slamdunked into a creamy chocolate vat. Available in 12 different flavours, cake balls, like roughhewn English gamekeepers, conceal a soft, creamy interior beneath a hard, world-weary outer shell. Replace useless, inedible bowling balls with the dark-chocolate-ensconced salted caramel, filled with chocolate cake and homemade caramel and garnished with a pinch of sea salt, or the spiced carrot cake, mixed with cream cheese frosting and dipped in white chocolate. Otherwise, surprise an unsuspecting traffic guard with the peanut butter and chocolate or the chocolate hazelnut, hazelnut chocolate cake infused with hazelnut ganache, dipped in dark chocolate, and topped with a hazelnut hat.

Elixir Organic Spa keeps things natural with 100 per cent synthetic and chemical-free spa treatments, using only organic skincare solutions. Each spa package begins with a five-minute application of yerba mate, cocoa, and other herbs, prepping person packaging for a wrap in a heated sauna blanket. A date-and-honey exfoliation and skin-clarifying treatment flushes gunk and grime from pores with the aid of steam cleaning ($10). Guest faces continue with 30 minutes of anti-aging procedures, from an enzyme probiotic facial peel ($49), an organic skin-lightening treatment ($49), to a royal-jelly anti-aging eye treatment, which uses an all-natural bee secretion to give optic orbs the youthful appearance usually enjoyed only by flowers’ eyes ($39). After a short, weather-baffling rain shower, guests undergo a muscle-relaxing and circulation-improving chocolate body wrap with full-body massage ($95). Beyond the tactile realm of massage treatment, an eye-massaging art-filled interior gives brains their own pampering stimuli.
