Half off Birch Aquarium at Scripps tickets
In celebration of its 20th anniversary at the current location, Birch Aquarium at Scripps is offering half-off entry to all San Diego County residents on the 20th of every month clear through September 2012 (it’s actual anniversary month).
Kids 3 and under are always free, so with half off regular prices for others, this may be a great time to check out the sea-nery!
I know … it’s so corny to spell scenery like that. . . . but the deal is great!
The half off Birch Aquarium deal is valid for residents in zip codes 91901-92199. Show a valid ID with the zip code to receive the offer.
Limitations: two children per paid adult; cannot be combined with other offers.
Regular admission is $14 for adults, $9.50 for children ages 3-17 and $10 for seniors. Children under age 3 are free.

The Welk Theatre in Escondido is a fun, family atmosphere. With the resort setting and a colorful on-site museum that chronicles the life of Lawrence Welk and his long-running show, the theatre is a bit of a departure – - in a very good way — from some other live venues around our county.
Currently, you can get a three for two special on The Full Monty show (running September 9 thru October 17.
Call the box office at 888 802-SHOW and mention the “3 for 2 email” to receive the discount.
The restaurant has a wonderful buffet, so make this a special occasion. (Try the crab salad! — mmmm).
