SeaWorld sells kids' tickets for $5 until Dec. 31

All the SeaWorld parks -- in Orlando, San Diego, and San Antonio -- have lowered their kids' ticket prices to just $5 through the the end of 2010.

According to the promotional Web page, SeaWorldCares.com, as long as an adult buys a full-price admission ticket (currently $78.95 in Orlando, the most expensive park), a kid age 3 to 9, the standard age range for children at theme parks, can get in for $5, which will fully go to a wildlife conservation cause chosen from a list by the ticket purchaser.

The list isn't specific about organization names, but it lists conservation areas by animal: sea turtles, dolphins, coral reef fish, and manatees. A SeaWorld rep said that specific organizations for these efforts have not yet been earmarked.
